They operate very quietly, blending in to networks, and are only discovered using artificial intelligence that can identify and flag their movements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one case, Thrip targeted a satellite communications operator\u2019s \u201coperational side of the company,\u201d preying on infected computers that ran software and controls satellites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis suggests to us that Thrip\u2019s motives go beyond spying and may also include disruption,\u201d the group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.symantec.com\/blogs\/threat-intelligence\/thrip-hits-satellite-telecoms-defense-targets\">added<\/a> in a blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another case, a geospatial imaging and mapping organization was targeted, seeking out machines that ran Google Earth Server and Garmin imaging software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A defense contractor was also targeted, according to Symantec, although the group did not provide more details. Three telecommunications operators in southeast Asia were also allegedly targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beginning in 2013, evidence suggests Thrip first used custom malware to infect targets. But since 2017, the group has \u201cswitched to a mixture of custom malware and \u2018living off the land tools\u2019\u201d meaning targeting essential operating systems of a network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The allegation is another example of China targeting American defense contractors. Cyberattacks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/cyber\/2018\/06\/08\/chinese-hackers-steal-sensitive-navy-program-data\/\">sponsored<\/a> by the Chinese government infiltrated a U.S. defense contractor\u2019s computers in early 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/national-security\/china-hacked-a-navy-contractor-and-secured-a-trove-of-highly-sensitive-data-on-submarine-warfare\/2018\/06\/08\/6cc396fa-68e6-11e8-bea7-c8eb28bc52b1_story.html?utm_term=.837d19ffea1d\">according<\/a> to the Washington Post.
