National Archives victim of a Trojan horse virus potentially leaking government documents (2013/05/24)

Virus , warm hole, Trojan horse

Taiwan’s National Archives Administration has fallen victim to an attack by hackers. Because the administration handles the transmission of government documents between agencies, the hacking put all agencies at risk. Among those compromised was New Taipei’s Research, Development and Evaluation Commission.

The core system for document exchange at the National Archives Administration is suspected of hosting a Trojan horse virus. It could have copied and distributed some of our documents. This would have an impact on document security and leakages.

The current process for managing government documents requires each unit to first upload documents to the National Archives Administration. The documents are then forwarded to various government departments. Hackers took advantage of a security lapse in the antivirus system used by the administration to steal information.

One doesn’t need to attack the country’s entire internet system. He or she would only need to attack the National Archives Administration, which is equivalent to the main source.

The attack occurred a little over a week ago, but the New Taipei government only received a warning on Tuesday from the Cabinet’s cyber security task force. The Cabinet was low-key about the attack, saying it should be able to eliminate the virus by the end of the month.

駭電子公文

主管我國公文收發的國家檔案管理局，遭到駭客入侵！駭客利用國檔局防毒漏洞，植入木馬病毒，再透過公文傳遞，入侵政府各單位竊取資料，誇張的是，事發一週後，行政院資通安全辦公室才通報各機關防毒！

“國家檔案局裡面，負責公文交換的主機，疑似被中了木馬程式，它可能會把我們部份檔案，複製、轉交出去，所以對於文件的安全跟洩漏，會有一定的影響”

現在政府公文作業模式，各單位會把公文上傳到國家檔案管理局匯整，國檔局再把文件轉發給各部門。這次竟然被駭客利用國檔局防毒漏洞，竊取資料！

“我不需要攻擊所有全國的網路，只要攻擊國檔局，他等於找到主源頭”

但駭客攻擊超過一個星期，新北市政府週二才接到行政院資通安全辦公室警告。行政院低調說已掌握狀況，預計五月底就能夠完成掃毒和更新。
