EclecticIQ cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a cyberespionage operation dubbed “Operation FlightNight” targeting Indian government entities and energy companies.  The attackers, likely state-sponsored, leveraged a modified version of the open-source information stealer HackBrowserData to steal sensitive data. EclecticIQ identified that the attackers used Slack channels, a popular communication platform, as exfiltration points.  These channels were named “FlightNight,” giving the operation its name.
