Chinese state-backed threat group group #APT40 called out for hacking campaigns which use small-office and home-office devices as a launching pad for attacks
"The NCSC has issued an advisory alongside partners in Australia, the US, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, the Republic of Korea and Japan, focusing on how one China state-sponsored cyber actor has carried out attacks against Australian networks.
"The threat group APT40 has embraced the trend of exploiting vulnerable small-office and home-office (SoHo) devices as a launching pad for attacks. These devices are softer targets when they are not running the latest software, or are no longer supported with security updates, and they more easily conceal malicious traffic." #infosec
