State-sponsored hackers have breached ICS-Forth, the organization that manages Greece's top-level domain country codes of .gr and .el.
The hackers behind the breach were the same group detailed in a Cisco Talos report, which the company named Sea Turtle.
The group uses a relatively novel approach to hacking targets.
Instead of targeting victims directly, they breach or gain access to accounts at domain registrars and managed DNS providers where they make modifications to a company's DNS settings.
Unfortunately, this time around, the Talos team doesn't have any details of what the hackers did on ICS-Forth's network after they gained access to its systems.
