The majority of targets were located in the US, particularly in and around Washington D.C., with other targets located in Europe, Hong Kong, India, and Canada. [C0021](https://attack.mitre.org/campaigns/C0021)'s technical artifacts, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and targeting overlap with previous suspected [APT29](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G0016) activity.(Citation: Microsoft Unidentified Dec 2018)(Citation: FireEye APT29 Nov 2018)
