APT1: Exposing One of China's Cyber Espionage Units

This video shows actual attacker sessions and intrusion activities conducted by one specific Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group, which Mandiant has named APT1. This group has systematically stolen confidential data from at least 141 organizations across multiple industries. A full report, published by Mandiant, details APT1's multi-year cyber espionage campaign and is available at www.mandiant.com/apt1.

Correction: At :44 in the video, the narrator states the phone number is 159 2193 7729. However, as the video shows, the true phone number is 159 2193 7229.

I have no idea whats going on and it terrifies me

What is ridiculous is your stupid comment. You name nothing in the report that is inaccurate and the Chinese govt. has been known for at least a decade to have been involved in hacking into US companies... it was just the Chinese never cooperate in any investigations of themselves, so it's taken a long time for a private company to come forward with evidence. The evidence was ALREADY out there, but much of it was in confidential reports from companies that did not want to admit they were hacked.

So he uses a chinese mobile number to verify his account...mistake #1.

Question 1: How did you guys identify the points of compromise (the hops) indicated in the report and obtain the IP addresses to which you traced to the Pudong New area in Shanghai?

Question 2: How did you guys access the Gmail inbox of the hacker you identified as DOTA (pg 57)?

I do not see these details included in the report.

thats dumb, if you dont know whats going on you dont know what to fear or not to fear...

what do you want me to say?... :)

I want you to admit that you have absolutely no evidence that China **IS NOT** hacking American companies and transferring American technology to Govt. owned "private" industry in China. This report as well as hundreds of other show evidence of the Chinese Govt. being directly involved in the hacking attacks. Admit that the Chinese Govt. *IS* involved in corporate espionage on a massive scale.

[hahahaffffffffff]

US can point their fingers on any countries, actually it's not because US is always correct and other countries are always wrong. The reason is obvious: US is the only superpower in the world. US invaded Iraq with the excuse of nuclear weapons in Iraq, and it turned out there isn't any at all. Did US ever apologize? I just wish US won't use Mandiant's report as an excuse to invade China...

[hahahaffffffffff]

If you looked back into last 2 decades, among almost all of the wars in the world, Libya, Iraq, Kosovo, Afganistan, Syria, etc, there was the US goverment. Just think about why?... you might ask, why didn't Kosovo invaded the US? why didn't Iraq invaded the US? ... interesting question. Everyone knows that US the only superpower in the world, they can attack any countries they want to attack. But how can a small country attack US? They can not. It's the same in Cybercrime area.

[hahahaffffffffff]

Re: "Also, what evidence has China EVER provided to prove that they aren't involved in hacking?"

.......

what do you want me to say?... :)

Not sure if you are familiar with security technologies. But I can tell that if Mandiant releases such a report and point fingers on some individuals or organizations in US, then Mandiant will be sued and 100% will lost the law suit.
