Ongoing, Very Real Threat
CF: Is this threat still out there? Are organizations still being targeted?
IB: Yes, that attack group, specifically APT 41, is … considered the the king of intellectual property theft, especially as it relates to nation-state operations. And they’ve been active nonstop over the years. I think uncovering never-seen-before methods of operations that they were using will likely help us uncover other operations that they’re still executing. But this group has been doing nonstop intellectual property theft from these regions over the years. And there’s really no reason to think that they will stop at any point until there are more significant deterrents in place.
