Unknown Cyber-Espionage Group Orchestrating Metadata Gathering Campaign: - Mad-Architect - 06-25-2019               A likely Chinese based cyber-espionage group has been waging an campaign to steal metadata from phone carriers, at least 10 from around the world, according a report from Cybereason, the firm leading investigation.        While there was little evidence to link this group to China, after the report was reviewed by FireEye, and Crowdstrike, they did corroborate that the tactic of stealing cellular metadata did appear similar to how Russian or even Iranian state sponsored groups operated.        While one customer to Cybereason was completely breached, their whole network compromised and hijacked, no actual content of private messages was taken, but the metadata to potentially track them was likely gathered.        Its likely that there will future reports about these groups, Chinese, Russian, and Iranian respectively.        Original article can be found here.              That was the news folks, have a good day, and stay safe out there.       ---Mad-Architect
