Historical OSINT - Chinese Government Sites Serving Malware

It's 2008 and I'm stumbling upon yet another decent portfolio of compromised malware-serving Chinese government Web sites. In this post I'll discuss in-depth the campaign and provide actionable intelligence on the infrastructure behind it.

Compromised Chinese government Web site:
