The China-aligned threat actor known as MirrorFace has been observed targeting a diplomatic organization in the European Union, marking the first time the hacking crew has targeted an entity in the region.
“During this attack, the threat actor used as a lure the upcoming World Expo, which will be held in 2025 in Osaka, Japan,” ESET said in its APT Activity Report for the period April to September 2024.
“This shows that even considering this new geographic targeting, MirrorFace remains focused on Japan and events related to it.”
