A Chinese hacking group allegedly “cloned” and deployed a zero-day exploit created by the U.S. National Security Agency’s Equation Group before Microsoft fixed the Windows vulnerability that was being misused in 2017, as indicated by an analysis published on Monday by Check Point Research. For quite a long while, researchers had presumed the Chinese hacking group known as APT31 or Zirconium had built up an exploit tool to take advantage of a vulnerability tracked as CVE-2017-0005 and found in more seasoned renditions of Windows, like Windows 7 and Windows 8, as indicated by the report.
