A prolific Chinese government-backed cyber group has recently stepped up its attacks on health care, pharmaceutical and other sectors, according to research released Wednesday by cybersecurity group FireEye.
FireEye experts discovered that the Chinese cyber threat group known as APT41 had launched what they described as “one of the broadest campaigns by a Chinese cyber espionage actor we have observed in recent years.”
The group, which FireEye previously assessed with “high confidence” is state-sponsored, was found to have widely targeted companies in almost two dozen countries in a variety of sectors between January and March.
Beyond health-related industries, APT41 also went after firms involved in the banking, construction, defense, manufacturing, telecommunications, media and utility sectors, among others.
FireEye experts noted in a blog post about the widespread attacks that while they were not certain why these industries were chosen, the “victims appear to be more targeted in nature.”

We need to crush the communist regime there. No more messing around.
A century ago we called it “the yellow peril”.
“Wokeness” and PC will be death of us.
