Nation-state hackers exploit Cisco firewall 0-days to backdoor government networks

A state-sponsored hacking group has been targeting government networks worldwide by exploiting two zero-day vulnerabilities in Cisco firewalls, according to researchers. The campaign, which has been ongoing for five months, involves the use of advanced exploit chains and the installation of previously unseen malware. The hackers have shown meticulous attention to covering their tracks, indicating that the attacks are likely motivated by espionage objectives. It is suspected that the group is also targeting other devices besides Cisco's Adaptive Security Appliances firewalls. Cisco has released security updates to address the vulnerabilities and is urging users to install them promptly.
