According to the CrowdStrike 2020 Global Threat Report, the telecommunications and government sectors were the most targeted by the threat actors.
Experts monitored operations carried out by nation-state actors and financially-motivated attackers.
Most of the attacks against organizations in the telecom sector were attributed to China-linked hacker groups, such as Wicked Panda (aka APT41), Emissary Panda (aka APT27, Bronze Union, Lucky Mouse, and TG-3390), and Lotus Panda (aka Thrip). Chinese hackers also targeted several organizations in the healthcare sector, government and defense sectors of countries in Asia.
