In an audacious move that screams ‘we’re back,’ China’s TA416 has decided to target European governments like a persistent telemarketer who just can’t take a hint. After a blissful two-year hiatus, European nations are once again on the receiving end of TA416’s spammy cyber handshakes, proving that some just can’t stay away from their favorite digital playgrounds.

Known affectionately in cyber circles as DarkPeony, RedDelta, or to romantic astrologers as Vertigo Panda, TA416 is using fancy PlugX malware along with OAuth-based phishing tricks that make regular junk mail look like children’s birthday invitations. European officials reportedly feel like they’ve been added to a mailing list that offers nothing but malware and bad vibes.

Experts suggest that this surge of activity is just TA416’s way of saying, ‘We missed you, Europe! Also, we want your data.’ Like an ex who shows up with unwanted gifts, TA416’s methods are as convoluted as their family tree of aliases, which includes SmugX and UNC6384, making them sound more like a failing boy band than a cluster of cyber hackers.
