The European Union has sanctioned an Indian technology company that has partnerships with New Delhi's IT Ministry, in light of recent cybersecurity threats. A series of cyberattacks, dubbed the SPIKEDWINE campaign, targeted European diplomats with sophisticated malware through fake wine-tasting invitations, deploying the sophisticated WINELOADER backdoor. The malware is part of a broader strategy by cyberattackers to infiltrate European diplomatic networks. Reports from cybersecurity outlets such as Dark Reading and The Hacker News have linked these attacks to the sanctioned Indian tech outfit, suggesting a coordinated effort to compromise European officials and linked to Indian diplomatic events. The SPIKEDWINE Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group, as identified by Security Affairs, is specifically targeting officials within Europe, raising concerns about the security of diplomatic communications and information.
