A cyberespionage campaign that breached nine global agencies, including one in the United States, could have been perpetrated by a group with ties to the Chinese regime.
The campaign resulted in the theft of sensitive documents from an unnamed government agency between September and October, according to a report by Unit 42, a threat intelligence team specializing in cyber risk and incident response at Palo Alto Networks, in partnership with the National Security Agency Cybersecurity Collaboration Center.
