Multiple high-profile organizations in Southeast Asia were the targets of an espionage campaign linked to China-based advanced persistent threat (APT) groups, according to a Symantec report released on Dec. 11.
According to the report by the Symantec Threat Hunter Team, the attacks in Southeast Asia have been underway since at least October 2023 and were aimed at gathering intelligence information from multiple high-profile organizations, including government ministries in two different countries, an air traffic control organization, a telecom company, and a media outlet.
