SPACEHOP Activity

[SPACEHOP Activity](https://attack.mitre.org/campaigns/C0052) is conducted through commercially leased Virtual Private Servers (VPS), otherwise known as provisioned Operational Relay Box (ORB) networks. The network leveraged for SPACEHOP Activity enabled China-nexus cyber threat actors – such as [APT5](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G1023) and [Ke3chang](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G0004) – to perform network reconnaissance scanning and vulnerability exploitation. SPACEHOP Activity has historically targeted entities in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.(Citation: ORB Mandiant)
