Salt Typhoon is an advanced persistent threat actor believed to be operated by China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) which has conducted high profile cyber espionage campaigns, particularly against the United States. The group's operations place an emphasis on counterintelligence targets in the United States and data theft of key corporate intellectual property. The group has infiltrated targets in dozens of other countries on nearly every continent.[1] Former NSA analyst Terry Dunlap has described the group as a "component of China's 100-Year Strategy."[2]
