Multiple international cybersecurity agencies jointly warn of a PRC state-sponsored cyber group, linked to the Ministry of State Security and known by various names like APT40, Leviathan. The group, based in Hainan Province, has targeted organizations globally, including in Australia and the US.

Chinese APT40 Is Ready To Exploit APT40, though a persistent concern for Australian and other regional networks, adapts quickly to take advantage of fresh vulnerabilities.
