Mandiant Testimony to USCC: Evolving China-Linked Cyber Espionage Tradecraft and Scale
A February 2022 USCC testimony by Mandiant assesses that China-linked cyber espionage has become stealthier and more agile since 2016, with increased use of vulnerability exploitation, third-party compromise, and software supply-chain compromise. The testimony emphasizes that the activity is distinguished primarily by national-interest-driven targeting and scale, and notes a higher tolerance for operational risk in 2020–2021.
