Veteran security researcher Brian Bartholomew has cast doubt on claims made about attacks by a nation-state backed group on a Chinese VPN provider whose software was used by the Beijing government and its overseas agencies. The allegations were made by Chinese security firm 360 Core Security (Qihoo Security) in a blog post on 6 April.

Researchers from the Russian security firm Kaspersky say they have found a watering hole that uses a full remote iOS exploit chain to deploy an implant named LightSpy.

The investigation into the attack on the networks of the Australian Parliament and the three main political parties — Liberal, Labor and National — is ongoing and the Australian Signals Directorate says it can offer no comment on it now.
