Suspected Chinese Threat Group Targets Universities via Vulnerable Roundcube Servers

A suspected Chinese threat group is exploiting Roundcube vulnerabilities to compromise university networks in the United States and Canada with the goal of harvesting user credentials. The campaign targets educational institutions in both countries, leveraging weaknesses in the widely deployed email server software.

Why it matters: University IT teams and network defenders need to patch or isolate Roundcube installations immediately; this is an active nation-state campaign collecting credentials from academic institutions.
