自2007年以来,高级持续威胁(advanced persistent threat,APT)攻击不断被发现。例如,2009年的GhostNet攻击专门盗取各国大使馆、外交部等政府机构以及银行的机密信息,两年内就已渗透到至少103个国家的1295台政府和重要人物的电脑中;2010年6月,Stuxnet首次被发现,是已知的第一个以关键工业基础设施为目标的蠕虫,其感染并破坏了伊朗纳坦兹核设施,并最终使伊朗布什尔核电站推迟启动;2011年9月发现的Duqu病毒用于从工业控制系统制造商收集情报信息,目前已监测到法国、荷兰、瑞士及印度等8个国家的6家组织受到该病毒感染。APT攻击已经成为近几年给国家、社会、企业、组织及个人造成重大损失和影响的攻击形式。文章首先介绍APT攻击的定义,之后给出APT攻击的技术特点,最后介绍目前APT攻击中针对手机的最新攻击方式,以提高人们应对此类攻击的防范意识。
