Today, a range of threat groups operating in China or working directly on behalf of Beijing to target valuable actors and specific industries with laser-like precision, including defense contractors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/analysis\/rsac\/us-warns-chinese-hackers-exploiting-known-vulnerabilities-in-espionage-campaign-on-telecoms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">telecommunications firms<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/analysis\/threat-intelligence\/chinese-linked-apt-adds-governments-financial-companies-to-target-list\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">government agencies<\/a> and technology companies. Most of those industries tend to manage, own or operate chunks of IT infrastructure on behalf of hundreds, thousands or millions of clients, meaning they can offer a potential pathway to infecting downstream customers, the way Chinese hackers did in the 2021 Microsoft Exchange attacks.<\/p>\n<h2>Chinese threat groups&#8217; strategies and tactics change since 2015 agreement<\/h2>\n<p>These have also altered their strategies and tactics to increasingly target edge devices like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mandiant.com\/resources\/blog\/updates-on-chinese-apt-compromising-pulse-secure-vpn-devices\">virtual private networks<\/a> (VPN) and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/analysis\/remote-access\/chinese-hackers-exploiting-bug-in-citrix-adc-gateway-products-nsa-warns\">remote access solutions<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volexity.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/15\/driftingcloud-zero-day-sophos-firewall-exploitation-and-an-insidious-breach\/\">firewalls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mandiant.com\/resources\/blog\/fortinet-malware-ecosystem\">hypervisors<\/a> with zero-day vulnerabilities. Because these devices typically don\u2019t support newer security technologies like endpoint detection and response (EDR), many companies simply don\u2019t have the visibility to understand that they\u2019re being compromised.<\/p>\n<p>Carmakal said \u201cevery month\u201d Mandiant posts at least one- to two pieces of threat intelligence research focused on vulnerabilities or exploitation in edge devices. Researchers will reach out to vendors when they see malicious traffic originating from a network device and request a hard drive image to conduct further analysis. Many times they\u2019re \u201ceasily able to quickly identify that there was very novel malware that lived on these devices and nobody else was able to find it because nobody was doing forensics on these devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re finding is that these actors are deploying more malware on these devices that don\u2019t support EDR solutions \u2014 like VMware hypervisors, like Fortinet firewalls \u2014 because it\u2019s very hard for a company to identify that there\u2019s actually a problem, that there\u2019s actually malware in these devices,\u201d said Carmakal.<\/p>\n<p>John Hultquist, head of Mandiant Threat Intelligence at Google Cloud, said Chinese hackers have also become far more adept at hiding and diversifying the infrastructure they use to carry out attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers used to be able to trace Chinese attacks back to specific towns where Technical Reconnaissance Bureau offices (support intelligence agencies that conduct hacking, signals intelligence and other activities on behalf of the Chinese government) were located, making attribution a relatively straightforward exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Now, most groups rely on proxy networks or route their activity through small home office SOHO routers that allow them to better mask their presence and identities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat really breaks down your ability to track some of this stuff, because infrastructure is obviously such an important part of your attribution and clustering. It\u2019s a real operational security innovation,\u201d Hultquist said.<\/p>\n<h2>Malicious Chinese campaigns less spammy, more focused<\/h2>\n<p>In 2015, the United States was already being pilloried with online disinformation and influence operations from countries like Russia leading up to the 2016 president election. In the years since, countries like China, Iran and others have directed similar campaigns at American consumers.<\/p>\n<p>One of most notable campaigns targeting the 2022 midterm elections, which Mandiant and Google\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/threat-analysis-group\/over-50000-instances-of-dragonbridge-activity-disrupted-in-2022\/\">Threat Analysis Group<\/a> (TAG) calls DRAGONBRIDGE, was designed to discredit the U.S. political system and sow division between its allies. While Mandiant assessed with \u201chigh confidence\u201d that the goal of DRAGONBRIDGE was to ultimately promote the political interests of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Sandra Joyce, vice president of Google Cloud and Mandiant Intelligence, noted that they have not yet officially attributed the group and its work to the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<p>Kristen Dennesen, reporting analyst at TAG, said that DRAGONBRIDGE\u2019s activity was rather \u201clow volume and spammy,\u201d reflecting the ambiguous aim and impact of many digital influence operations, but it still required the blocking of 50,000 YouTube channels and the deactivitation of 100,000 Google accounts used by the group.<\/p>\n<p>And in situations where there was a clear Chinese interest at play, such as when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/08\/02\/us\/politics\/nancy-pelosi-taiwan-beijing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visited Taiwan<\/a> last year, a \u201csubset\u201d of DRAGONBRIDGE\u2019s content became much sharper and focused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very much denigrating the U.S., promoting the interests and championing China, and in some cases we\u2019ve seen it be pretty high quality in terms of the content and sometimes very coherent,\u201d said Dennesen.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
