Security researchers at Cylance have unearthed a sophisticated cyber-espionage campaign being run by a state-sponsored hacker group dubbed The White Company which has been targeting Pakistani government organisations as well as the country's air force for over a year.
Commenting on the techniques employed by The White Company, Martin Jartelius, CSO at Outpost24, told SC Magazine UK that the primary motive of the hacker group is not to cause a disturbance at this time but to understand the adversaries’ weaknesses and to launch attacks strategically when needed.
