A multi-year attack carried out by
Chinese hackers was exposed recently, and the scope of it is beyond anything previously seen in nation-state cyber espionage.
Hacking group APT10, a notorious team that is widely believed to have
Chinese government support, is believed to have compromised at least 10 major global carriers and used their networks to track and spy on high-profile business leaders and members of foreign governments. What makes this cyber espionage incident unique is that the
Chinese hackers appear to have been following their targets as they move from country to country, hopping from one breached network to another as needed. While this ability is not new, this kind of mass scale has not been seen before.
