Hainan Xiandun Technology Development Company
According to the US Department of Justice, Hainan Xiandun Technology Development Co. Ltd (Hainan Xiandun) was established as a front company by the Hainan State Security Department (HSSD) to obscure the Chinese government's role in cyber activities.
Through Hainan Xiandun, cyber actors were directed to steal sensitive information from various sectors, including aviation, defense, and healthcare.
The company worked with universities in Hainan and elsewhere in China to recruit hackers and support its operations.
Hainan Xiandun has since been disbanded, but its activities were part of a broader campaign of economic espionage.
