    I mean, they kind of drive the point home further in the article:

    So far, we’ve observed six devices total that we believe were targeted for exploitation by this threat actor, four of which demonstrated clear signatures associated with NICKNAME, and two which demonstrated clear signs of successful exploitation. Interestingly, all of the victims had either previously been targeted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) e.g., they were confirmed to have also been targeted by Salt Typhoon; they were engaging in business pursuits counter to or of particular interest to the CCP; or they had engaged in some sort of activism against the CCP.
