The Jiangsu State Security Department (江苏省国家安全厅) is the provincial bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security in Jiangsu which serves as the coastal province's intelligence service and secret police.
They are involved extensively in espionage against the United States, and aviation-related industrial espionage, operating the advanced persistent threat TURBINE PANDA, also known as APT26. They are most well known for their alleged responsibility for the high-profile 2015 hack of the United States Office of Personnel Management, stealing the personal details of over 20 million U.S. federal civil servants.
The department is headquartered in Gulou, Nanjing, west of the Jiming Temple, though it maintains locations throughout the province.
