Android phones of Uighur communities are under attack, following reports of hacks on iPhones
, it's been confirmed that Androids of the target Muslim communities have been under heavy attack.
But it would appear that the targets were not those inside China. Uighur activists living in exile have complained of being harassed by Chinese officials, while human rights watchdogs have condemned Beijing for imprisoning hundred of thousands of people and establishing a surveillance state in China’s far west Xinjiang province, the homeland of the majority muslim Uighur people.
The researchers also pointed to some indications that the Android hackers ceased their attacks via the Uighur sites shortly after Google's Project Zero blog detailed the iOS attacks. This could indicate they were the part of the same digital espionage group. For instance, three sites set up by the Android hackers were no longer accessible after Google's release. Just as suspicious, the malicious code running on the compromised websites was removed in the same timeframe.
