A China-linked hacking group targeted diplomats in Southeast Asia and entities across the globe earlier this year, according to Google.

The attack, detected by Google in March, was “likely in support of cyber espionage operations aligned with the strategic interests of the People’s Republic of China (PRC),” Google’s threat intelligence group said in an Aug. 25 blog post.
