Who needs painstaking negotiation when you can just exploit a Windows shortcut flaw? That’s exactly the innovative approach of China-linked hackers targeting European diplomatic entities. Move over, traditional diplomacy; make way for shortcut diplomacy!

UNC6384, a group that’s clearly out to prove that fiddling with shortcut keys is far more effective than international summits, has decided that a quick malware install is the new version of a peace treaty. Why bother with boring policy discussions when you can just CTRL+C and CTRL+V your way through sensitive information?

These cyber-wizards have handicapped their way into Hungary, Belgium, and Italy among others, showing off their ‘diplomacy skills’ by creatively leveraging unpatched vulnerabilities. Who needs allies when you’ve got backdoors into every governmental PC? Truly, they are the Picasso of high-tech void filling!

As Eastern Europe braces for a wave of unwanted desktop icons and rogue .exe files, we can all learn from UNC6384’s innovative approach to international relations: always be hacking, and remember, the true path to geopolitical success lies in a well-placed shortcut.
