ESET Research has identified a previously unknown China-aligned APT group called GopherWhisper that specifically targets Mongolian governmental institutions. The discovery adds another player to the threat landscape focused on state-level espionage in the Asia-Pacific region.
An exposed server provided insight into a large-scale exploitation and credential harvesting operation utilizing the modular Bissa scanner platform. The threat actors integrated Claude Code and OpenClaw AI tools into their workflow to support troubleshooting, orchestration, and refinement of their collection pipeline across multiple victims. This case demonstrates how adversaries are operationalizing AI assistants to scale and automate mass exploitation campaigns.
CTO says new AI model is "every bit as capable" as world's best security researchers.
