Researchers have identified links between a suspected Chinese regime-sponsored hacker group and a military unit in northwest China, which has been threatening cybersecurity in neighboring countries since 2014.
The RedFoxtrot group is part of Beijing’s cyber espionage efforts tied with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Unit 69010, which is “likely interested in gathering intelligence on military technology and defense,” according to a June report by the Insikt Group, a research division under U.S. cybersecurity company Recorded Future.
