CrowdStrike 2026 Technology Threat Landscape Report: China’s Ambitions Fuel Attacks

The CrowdStrike 2026 Technology Threat Landscape Report highlights the increasing threats faced by the technology sector from state-sponsored and eCrime adversaries, with a particular focus on China-nexus and DPRK-nexus actors. China-nexus adversaries, such as MURKY PANDA and SUNRISE PANDA, accounted for over 58% of state-sponsored intrusions, driven by the Chinese Communist Party's goals to achieve technological self-sufficiency and competitive advantage. These adversaries target tech organizations to access downstream customer environments and supply chains. Meanwhile, DPRK adversaries, including FAMOUS CHOLLIMA, focus on financial gain through fraudulent employment and supply chain compromises. The report also underscores the prevalence of eCrime activities, with big game hunting adversaries targeting North American tech entities for extortion, exploiting the rise in AI adoption for distributing malware. CrowdStrike's report provides insights into the evolving threat landscape and emphasizes the importance of tech organizations being vigilant and prepared to strengthen their defenses against these sophisticated adversaries.
