I had warned you about Chinese hackers known as Mustang Panda or RedDelta working for the CCP that had infiltrated the Vatican's network and read their emails back in July. Two weeks later they had resumed those pesky activities. Things are different now, they went after their news outlets. And they attempted to avoid detection by using a programing language created by Google, namely Go alias Golang.

The latest spate of targeting has included spoofed email headers meant to imitate journalists from the Union of Catholic Asia News and lures about the provisional agreement between the Vatican Holy See and the Chinese Communist Party.
The hackers have also been targeting unidentified entities in Hong Kong and Australia, in addition to government entities in India and Indonesia, in recent months as well

Sadly, the company behind this revelation can't tell us how exactly they managed to get access to such outlets. They suspect they might have relied on PlugX malware.
