A new report traces a large cybersecurity threat group to China?s People?s Liberation Army, specifically an unit that goes under the cover name ?Unit 61398?.
Security company Mandiant said in a report released Tuesday that an Advanced Persistent Threat group it called APT1 was one of the most persistent of China?s cyberthreat actors because of its likely government support.
?In seeking to identify the organization behind this activity, our research found that People?s Liberation Army (PLA?s) Unit 61398 is similar to APT1 in its mission, capabilities, and resources,? Mandiant said in its report. ?PLA Unit 61398 is also located in precisely the same area from which APT1 activity appears to originate.?
Unit 61398 is said to be located in a 130,663 square-foot building on Datong Road in Gaoqiaozhen, in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai.
