Chinese hackers 'extensively' target Cambodia ahead of polls, report finds

ABC  

Chinese hackers have successfully targeted Cambodia's Government ahead of the country's contentious national elections later this month, according to a new cyber security report. The FireEye report details how a well-known Chinese hacking group called TEMP.Periscope has targeted several key branches of Cambodia's Government, including the Senate and the ministries of foreign affairs, economics and finance, as well as opposition figures and local media outlets. Benjamin Read, FireEye's senior manager for cyber espionage analysis, believes the Chinese group has managed to gain widespread visibility into Cambodia's elections and government operations. Cambodia has also recently enjoyed a surge in Chinese aid, and unlike its close neighbour Vietnam is a strong supporter of Beijing's territorial claims to the contested South China Sea.
