BleepingComputer reports that Chinese state-sponsored threat operation APT31, also known as Judgment Panda and Zirconium, was confirmed by Finland’s police to have been behind a cyberattack against the country’s parliament three years ago. Aside from infiltrating the Finnish Parliament’s information systems, threat actors also engaged in espionage and communication secrecy violations between the last quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, according to Finland National Bureau of Investigation Detective Chief Inspector Aku Limnell, who also confirmed the attack’s link to APT31 as well as suspect identification.
