Campaign
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
RedNovember is a suspected Chinese state-sponsored campaign also tracked as Storm-2077 that targeted perimeter appliances of high-profile organizations globally between June 2024 and July 2025. Recorded Future says the group used the Go-based backdoor Pantegana and Cobalt Strike during intrusions, and earlier abuse included CVE-2024-24919 and CVE-2024-3400 on exposed security products. The activity expanded across government and private sector targets, including defense and aerospace, space organizations, and law firms. The campaign matters because it shows a persistent espionage operation that uses public exposure on internet-facing devices to gain access across multiple regions and sectors.

US officials described Silk Typhoon/Hafnium activity from February 2020 to June 2021 as a coordinated intelligence-gathering campaign that targeted US universities and COVID-19 researchers, including a Texas university network, and later expanded into Microsoft Exchange Server vulnerability exploitation. The operation reportedly used stolen mailbox access to search for vaccines, treatments, and testing research, and the FBI said the campaign affected more than 12,700 US organizations.
