Petulant Penguin Attacks Use Antarctica As Base

The article describes a sophisticated campaign named “Petulant Penguin” in which attackers compromised systems at Antarctic research bases (Amundsen-Scott, Concordia, Dome Fuji) and used those hosts and satellite-relay infrastructure to launch targeted attacks against government agencies in the U.S. and Europe; CrowdStrike and other security firms traced the traffic, noted the attackers timed activity to coincide with reliable connectivity, and law enforcement (FBI) was reported to be involved.
