Google attributes the campaign to a hacking group it calls UNC6508, a relatively new and little-known cyberespionage player
A Chinese-linked hacking group spent more than a year secretly stealing data from US and Canadian academic, medical, and military research institutions, before being detected, Google said on Monday, June 15.
Between September 2023 and November 2025, the hackers sought information related to defense intelligence, military strategy in the Indo-Pacific, artificial intelligence, unmanned vehicles, cyber warfare programs, and medical research, Google’s Threat Intelligence Group said in a report.
Google did not name the targeted organizations, but said their work covered a broad range of fields, from drug discovery and clinical trials to public health policy and military readiness, and that they collectively employ thousands of people with a combined research budget running into the billions of dollars.
