The Rise of Collaborative Tactics Among China-aligned Cyber Espionage Campaigns
<p>Emerging from Trend Micro’s latest research: a new cyber espionage model dubbed “Premier Pass-as-a-Service,” where multiple advanced persistent threat (APT) groups work together — not just sequentially, but sharing persistent access and infrastructure. Attackers like Earth Estries and Earth Naga are handing off “live access” to one another, making attribution harder and dwell time longer. This evolution significantly raises the stakes for federal networks, demanding coordinated defense and visibility at every layer.</p> <p>Download the full report to understand the Premier Pass threat model and strengthen your agency’s cyber defenses now.</p>
