Key findings from the report include:
- Recorded Future's Insikt Group identified RedEcho targeting 10 distinct
Indian organizations in the power generation and transmission sector
and two organizations in the maritime sector.
- Insikt Group believes the targeting of these organizations poses
significant concerns over potential pre-positioning of network access
to support Chinese strategic objectives.
- RedEcho has strong infrastructure and victimology overlaps with
Chinese groups APT41/Barium and Tonto Team, while ShadowPad is used by
at least 5 distinct Chinese groups.
- The computer network operations (CNO) targeting of strategically
important organizations in India from Chinese groups will likely
continue in 2021 as the nation continues to exert influence over
countries that are within the sphere of their Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI) investment program.
"The impact of a cyber attack targeting the critical infrastructure of a
country, whether for espionage or malicious activity, has the potential to be
catastrophic with long-term repercussions. We have long seen cyber efforts from
China aimed around strategic policies and initiatives, and this campaign from
RedEcho is no exception. Accurate and actionable intelligence is vital for
preempting such attacks and proactively disrupting adversaries both within an
organization and across a nation." -- Dr. Christopher Ahlberg, CEO and
Co-Founder, Recorded Future
