Astro Spies

GhostNet

A report on GhostNet. Click to expand to view it better.

Tracking GhostNet: Investigating a Cyber Espionage Network Tracking GhostNet: Investigating a Cyber Espionage Network The SecDev Group This report documents the GhostNet - a suspected cyber espionage network of over 1,295 infected computers in 103 countries, 30% of which are high-value targets, including ministries of foreign affairs, embassies, international organizations, news media, and NGOs. The capabilities of GhostNet are far-reaching. The report reveals that Tibetan computer systems were compromised giving attackers access to potentially sensitive information, including documents from the private office of the Dalai Lama. The report presents evidence showing that numerous computer systems were compromised in ways that circumstantially point to China as the culprit. But the report is careful not to draw conclusions about the exact motivation or the identity of the attacker(s), or how to accurately characterize this network of infections as a whole. The report argues that attribution can be obscured. The report concludes that who is in control of GhostNet is less important than the opportunity for generating strategic intelligence that it represents. The report underscores the growing capabilities of computer network exploitation, the ease by which cyberspace can be used as a vector for new do-it-yourself form of signals intelligence. It ends with warning to policy makers that information security requires serious attention.

If you Google my name "Bill Romanos" - you may also want to try "Bill_Romanos" as it picks up additional information. This is an artifact of Twitter / Blog Commenting material not being picked up without the "_". I am trying to rectify this by using Tumblr accounts to associate the two terms and other online bots/devices.
