Suspected Chinese-speaking operator drained a Philippine nuclear agency via a 2023 ownCloud bypass

Hunt.io only found the intrusion because the operator left his staging directory browsable on port 8000 in Amsterdam. The scripts inside needed no passwords, just valid usernames and an ownCloud install nobody had updated.

SecFlow runs the same espionage tasks through Claude, Qwen or DeepSeek

Hunt.io rebuilt the framework from five directories the operators left open, and found the worker roles fixed while the model profile stays a swappable setting, with requests fronted by private proxies instead of vendor APIs.
