About this actor
[Operation Digital Eye](https://attack.mitre.org/campaigns/C0061) was conducted in June and July of 2024 by suspected People's Republic of China (PRC)-nexus threat actors targeting business-to-business IT service providers in Southern Europe. [Operation Digital Eye](https://attack.mitre.org/campaigns/C0061) activity included the use of Visual Studio Code tunnels for command and control (C2) and custom lateral movement capabilities. Overlaps in tooling between Digital Eye and previous China-nexus campaigns, Operation Soft Cell and Operation Tainted Love, indicate the potential use of shared vendors or digital quartermasters.(Citation: sentinelone operationDigitalEye Dec 2024)
