Google says it shut down China-based hacking group that used Sheets to spy on organisations in 42 countries: How they hid, what data is stolen and all details
Google's security experts have dismantled a decade-long Chinese-linked hacking network, known as Gallium or UNC2814, that spied on governments and phone companies in 42 countries. The group cleverly used Google Sheets to manage stolen data, blending in with normal office traffic. Google shut down their infrastructure and banned their accounts, preventing further widespread surveillance.
