China Hackers Used Trojanized UyghurEditPP App to Target Uyghur Activists

China-linked hackers targeted Uyghur activists using a Trojanized UyghurEditPP app in a spear-phishing campaign. The attackers impersonated a trusted contact, leading recipients to download a compromised version of the app, which contained a backdoor that collected system information and transmitted it to a remote server. The campaign, likely tied to the Chinese government, demonstrates a high level of social engineering and suggests a targeted operation against the Uyghur community.
