The "Big Four": Spotlight on China

The third installment of our “Big Four” series on China is filled withso much great information that it’s our longest episode yet. LloydBrown, Principal Analyst for our Custom Intel Team, and ScottHenderson, Principal Analyst for our Cyber Espionage Team, joined ourhost, Luke McNamara to peel back the layers of China’s cybercapabilities.Similar to past episodes in this series, we started at the beginningof China’s cyber operations—dating back to 2003. Scott and Lloyd tookus through a detailed look at all the stages of China’s operations,including the shift in 2015/2016 from being “clumsy and noisy” tostealthy. Lloyd brings up a great point that’s worth hearing abouttheir use of CVE exploits (which came into play with the recentMicrosoft Exchange server exploits).We also discussed how China’s cyber activity is driven by economicinterests such as the Belt and Road initiative, the nature of theiroperations surrounding global elections, APT41’s cybercrime activityin addition to cyber espionage, and where they think China’soperations are headed. You’ll definitely want to stick around to thevery end. Since our initial recording occurred before the MicrosoftExchange exploits, Luke decided to follow up with Lloyd to get histake on HAFNIUM and the UNC groups we’re tracking related to thatactivity.Know the threats that affect your organization with up-to-the-minutethreat intelligence by signing up for Mandiant Advantage Free:http://feye.io/MA
