CHINA-INDIA: GLOBAL TIMES REPORT CLAIMS INDIAN HACKERS ARE TARGETING CHINA AND PAKISTAN

A Global Times report (November 20) claimed that a report published by Antiy Labs, one of China's cybersecurity companies, disclosed an active hacker team whose members are based in Delhi has been launching cyberattacks against government agencies and defense departments in China and Pakistan. It said the report conducted a comprehensive analysis of the cyberattacks launched by the organization called You Xiang (baby elephant in English) in South Asia, revealing its target, technology and equipment, and exposing the attackers who wear "invisible clothes" and hide behind screens. Antiy Labs vice chief engineer, Li Bosong, told Global Times on November 19 that they first detected "baby elephant" activities in 2017, when a number of large-scale targeted cyberattacks on the government, military and defense departments of South Asian countries were found.  According to the analysis of their activities, it was found that the group is suspected to be from India, and is not the same as another hacker group from India named "white elephant."
