A cyber spy group “likely” linked to the Chinese state has targeted human rights campaigners working on issues about the country for up to five years, a new report claims.
Secureworks says the campaign to monitor and steal files from a number of NGOs started as far back as 2014.
One of the alleged targets is understood to be a human rights group that has raised concerns about the treatment of hundreds of thousands of Uighur and other Muslim minorities in China. It has also written about pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong.
