China's Role in the Increase of Global Cyber Attacks

Cybercrime has quickly become one of the most pressing issues to mitigate as more reliance on technology is created each day. Advanced persistent threat groups have established themselves as critical threats to organizations and governments as the sophistication of their attacks advances as technology does. One of the most significant threats currently is advanced persistent threat groups that originate from the country of China. China has some of the highest numbers of known advanced persistent threat groups, such as Double Dragon (APT41), PLA Unit 61398 (APT1), and now a new and emerging group dubbed HAFNIUM has been discovered.
