After infiltrating at least 10 computer networks related to Indian Power Grid Operations, the Chinese hacking group named RedEcho has reportedly targeted two maritime ports says a research carried out by Recorded Future- a Massachusetts based Cybersecurity and threat intelligence gathering firm.
The highlight of the report is that the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team has already disclosed that it has covered up the exploit that was being exploited by Chinese hackers to hack into the network of two Maritime ports.
But Stuart Solomon the Chief Operating Officer of Recorded Future says that one of the server that belongs to a renowned maritime port of the Indian Subcontinent was still exchanging handshakes with the hacking group and this clearly states that the threat actors belonging to Chinese Intelligence are still carrying out espionage on the network.
