> The number of phishing attacks against Japanese companies and individuals, disguised as emails from legitimate big firms, was down by over 70 percent during China’s Lunar New Year holidays in February, according to a U.S. cybersecurity firm.
> The attacks were potentially carried out systematically from China, with an official of Proofpoint Inc. saying the finding suggested „hackers may observe the Lunar New Year as well.“
I guess china’s trolls need their holidays and dayoffs too
>He added that they are likely being carried out as an organized business repeatedly by criminal groups, instead of involvement by the state or the military.
The website puts this as the very last sentence
The reason is obvious
I know what the article is implying but FYI:
> Lunar New Year is primarily celebrated in East and Southeast Asian countries, most notably in China, Vietnam, South Korea, North Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines. It is also widely observed in regions like Taiwan, Tibet, and Mongolia.
Yeah I receive so many spam phishing mails from Chinese domains.
If China is the only people celebrating “Lunar New Year” you’ll be calling it Chinese New Year.
Well during the japanese golden week holiday, cyberattacks against china are also down. So 🤷🏽♂️
I wish India/Pakistan had more and longer holidays
NK and China both celebrate the lunar new year. Simple as that ain’t it?
You people realize china’s not the only country that celebrates lunar new year right?
Even hackers have holidays
