RedFoxtrot is a suspected Chinese state-sponsored cyber-espionage group, active since at least 2014, assessed to be linked to the People’s Liberation Army’s Unit 69010 in Ürümqi, Xinjiang. Unit 69010 is assessed to be associated with the PLA Strategic Support Force’s Network Systems Department. Also known as Nomad Panda and Temp.Trident, RedFoxtrot has targeted government, defense, aerospace, telecommunications, mining, and research organizations across Central and South Asia, with sustained interest in Indian strategic sectors during heightened China–India border tensions in 2020–2021. The group has used PlugX, PCShare, Poison Ivy variants, IceFog, Royal Road weaponized documents, and likely ShadowPad. Its operations have employed Dynamic DNS infrastructure and DLL sideloading, including execution chains that abuse legitimate signed software to load malicious components. RedFoxtrot activity also overlaps with campaigns tracked as WATERFIGHT and SKYLINE.
