U.S. org suffered four month intrusion by Chinese hackers
A large U.S. organization with significant presence in China has been reportedly breached by China-based threat actors who persisted on its networks from April to August 2024.
According to Symantec’s threat researchers, the operation appeared to focus on intelligence gathering, involving multiple compromised machines and targeting Exchange Servers, likely for email and data exfiltration.
The researchers did not explicitly name the breached U.S. organization but mentioned that the same entity was targeted by the China-based ‘Daggerfly’ threat group in 2023.
