Recorded Future's Insikt Group has conducted an analysis of a prolonged cyber-espionage campaign known as TAG-74, which is attributed to Chinese state-sponsored actors. TAG-74 primarily focuses on infiltrating South Korean academic, political, and government organizations. This group has been linked to Chinese military intelligence and poses a significant threat to academic, aerospace and defense, government, military, and political entities in South Korea, Japan, and Russia. TAG-74’s targeting of South Korean academic institutions aligns with China's broader espionage efforts aimed at intellectual property theft and expanding its influence within higher education worldwide.
