Chinese state hackers are performing attacks against cryptocurrency and video game enterprises, cybersecurity company FireEye claims in a report published on Aug. 2.
Per the report, Chinese state espionage cyber unit APT41 “targets industries in a manner generally aligned with China's Five-Year economic development plans.” Still, FireEye researchers claim that “the group is also deployed to gather intelligence ahead of imminent events, such as mergers and acquisitions and political events.”
