The article discusses the evolution of Chinese hacking groups like Salt Typhoon and Brass Typhoon, which have become more sophisticated in their operations. These groups have been involved in significant breaches, including attacks on U.S. telecoms and critical infrastructure. Researchers note that the blending of state-sponsored and criminal activities is making tracking and attribution more difficult. With various sectors targeted globally, and advanced malware in use, these groups pose an escalating threat to international security.
"They're absolutely still active and still evolving," says John Hultquist, who leads threat intelligence at Mandiant. "It's harder to attribute some of this activity than it was in the past..."
Brass Typhoon has cast a wide net, leading researchers to view it as a sort of broad coalition that has attacked everything from a US livestock app to source code and chip designs."
