Cybercriminals Hack Brazilian Government Servers to Host Phishing Sites

Cybercriminals have compromised Brazilian government and education servers to establish a reverse-proxy network hosting gambling-themed phishing sites. A Chinese-language group is operating the scheme, leveraging access to legitimate infrastructure to facilitate the attacks.

Why it matters: Brazilian government and education institutions face credential theft and reputation damage; security teams should audit web server access logs and patch remote code execution vulnerabilities on exposed services.
