Breach at Amnesty International Canada by alleged Chinese hackers
The Canadian chapter of Amnesty International has uncovered a security compromise that was discovered in early October and connected to a threat group that was probably supported by China.
The international human rights NGO claims that on October 5, when it noticed unusual activity on its IT infrastructure, it became aware of the hack.
The NGO contacted cybersecurity company Secureworks to look into the incident and defend its networks after it became aware of it.
Amnesty International Canada stated that preliminary findings from the inquiry “suggest that a digital security compromise was performed using tools and techniques connected with specific advanced persistent threat groups (APTs)”.
Later, forensic specialists with the top international cyber-security company Secureworks determined that the attack was probably carried out by “a threat organisation funded or tasked by the Chinese state.”
Based on the attackers’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and the material they targeted—all of which were consistent with known Chinese state hacker tactics and methods—the attack was connected to a suspected Chinese threat organisation.
There is no proof of data exfiltration.
There is currently no proof, according to Secureworks’ analysis, that the attackers stole donor or membership information.
The NGO alerted personnel, funders, and other stakeholders about the security breach and reported it to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
According to Amnesty International Canada Secretary General Ketty Nivyabandi, “This example of cyberespionage relates to the increasingly perilous situation that activists, journalists, and civil society alike must navigate today.”
“There has never been a more pressing need for and relevance of our work to look into and condemn these activities. We shall keep drawing attention to human rights abuses, no matter where they take place, and oppose governments’ use of digital monitoring to suppress human rights.”
Given Amnesty International’s reporting and analysis on the continued violations of human rights committed by the Chinese government, the attack is not shocking.

Microsoft is attempting to resolve ongoing sign-in issues that are preventing certain users of Outlook for Microsoft 365 from accessing their accounts.
Users who attempt to enter into Outlook using their Outlook.com accounts or those who have already added the accounts to their Outlook profiles are affected by the login issues.
The users will get the following error messages instructing them to use a work or school account rather than signing in: “You are unable to log in using a personal account here. Use your account from work or school instead.”
Although Microsoft claims that the Outlook Team is working on a patch for this known problem, users can access their accounts using an official workaround until a fix is released.
“You can get around the problem by disabling Support Diagnostics, which disables the ability to contact support through the In App Help menu by choosing Contact Support. The fault is connected to how Outlook is authenticating for the diagnostics in some cases, “explained Microsoft.
You must enable the DisableSupportDiagnostics policy setting in Outlook to turn off support diagnostics and stop it from informing support services about client failure.
According to the Group Policy Administrative Templates Catalog, “This policy setting determines whether Outlook can communicate client information on failure to support services with the intent of diagnosing the issue or making the information available to support to help with the diagnosis/resolution of the issue and/or provide contextual error messaging to the user.”
A different flaw that can prohibit users from configuring Exchange Online mailboxes in Outlook for Windows is something Redmond claimed it was attempting to fix last week.
Early in October, the company started releasing a remedy for a different problem that has been causing Outlook for Microsoft 365 to freeze and crash after opening since August.
