The Czech Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs and critical infrastructure organizations were targeted by the Chinese-backed APT31 hacking group. The cyberespionage campaign, which lasted throughout 2022, compromised critical infrastructure, undermining the credibility of the People's Republic of China. The attack was condemned by EU member states and NATO allies, who urged China to adhere to UN norms and respect international law. The APT31 group has been linked to numerous espionage operations and is known for its involvement in high-profile cyberattacks, including the theft of the EpMe NSA exploit.
