Spy operation inside American laboratories: What is China's connection? | Al-Bawaba
Reports have been published indicating that a hacking group linked to China, known as UNC6508, carried out a cyber espionage campaign spanning over two years from September 2023 to November 2025. The campaign targeted academic, medical, and military institutions in the United States and Canada, aiming to steal sensitive data related to defense intelligence, strategies in the Indo-Pacific region, artificial intelligence, and medical research. The intrusion began by exploiting vulnerabilities in REDCap application servers, where the attackers stole login credentials and redirected targeted emails to Gmail accounts for control. The methods used matched patterns typical of Chinese hacking techniques, while Beijing has denied any involvement.
