Chinese hackers attacked company customers from eight out of 19 industry sectors. Cybercriminals were responsible for the rest of the campaigns. The tools Crowdstrike observed in attacks from all threat actors include legitimate utilities, the most prevalent five being PsExec, ProcDump, PC Hunter, 7-Zip, and Nmap.
