Naikon is assessed to be a state-sponsored cyber espionage group attributed to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Chengdu Military Region Second Technical Reconnaissance Bureau (Military Unit Cover Designator 78020).[1] Active since at least 2010, Naikon has primarily conducted operations against government, military, and civil organizations in Southeast Asia, as well as against international bodies such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).[1][2]
While Naikon shares some characteristics with APT30, the two groups do not appear to be exact matches.[4]

Standing G0019
Reach is how much of ATT&CK this group touches. Coverage is how well defended each thing it does is, as a median per technique rather than a total — a total would just restate the reach. Each figure is ranked against all 176 ATT&CK groups only where that population actually spreads. Where most of the population shares one value, a percentile would rank the tie instead of the entity, so the raw value is shown and no rank is claimed.
Reach
Techniques1443rd pct
43rd percentile · 57% of 176 ATT&CK groups have more Enterprise techniques.
Tactics634th pct
34th percentile · 66% of 176 ATT&CK groups have more tactics spanned.
Tools & malware15Top 12%
88th percentile · 88% of 176 ATT&CK groups have this many tools and malware or fewer.
Campaigns089% tie · 4 values
89% of the population shares a single value across only 4 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.

Detection coverage G0019
551 distinct rules cover the 14 techniques recorded for this group. The 584 technique-to-rule mappings resolve to 551 distinct rules, because one rule can cover several techniques. 376 Sigma · 175 Splunk.
