What happened
A Seoul-based cybersecurity firm analyzed records and found a connection between a Telegram account and GitHub code. The code’s edit history contained an email address traced to login details stolen by infostealer malware in 2023. The firm also noted that a Telegram account linked to the GodNet community was associated with recent hacking activity, which may be linked to Chinese groups carrying out DDoS attacks for hire.
