A U.S. cybersecurity firm said on March 25 it has detected a surge in new cyberspying by a suspected Chinese group dating back to late January, when the coronavirus began to spread beyond China.
FireEye Inc. said in a report it had spotted a spike in activity from a hacking group it dubs “APT41” that began on Jan. 20 and targeted more than 75 of its customers, from manufacturers and media companies, to healthcare organizations and nonprofits.
