Key Findings

• ZeroFox identified recent reports of a new Chinese state-sponsored threat actor conducting cyber espionage campaigns against semiconductor firms in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
• ZeroFox assesses this threat actor may be sharing the sensitive data obtained with the China Communist Party (CCP) so it can be reverse-engineered and replicated.
• ZeroFox anticipates that Chinese APT groups are very likely to conduct future cyber espionage campaigns targeting the global semiconductor industry.
