Alibaba Blacklist Bombshell: Congress AI Chip Crackdown as Claude Hijacked for Cyberspy Blitz
This is your US-China CyberPulse: Defense Updates podcast.
Hey listeners, Ting here, your go-to gal for all things China cyber chaos and hacking hijinks. Buckle up, because this week's US-China CyberPulse has been a whirlwind of firewalls flying up faster than a Beijing traffic jam.
Picture this: I'm huddled over my triple-monitor setup in my dimly lit war room, caffeine IV dripping, as Senator Rick Scott drops a bombshell letter to DoW Secretary Pete Hegseth. He's pushing to slap Alibaba—yep, that e-commerce behemoth—and other CCP-linked giants like Tencent onto the 1260H list. Why? Salt Typhoon hacks and the F5 breach prove China's civil-military fusion is turning shopping carts into spy tools, funneling US customer data straight to the PLA. Financial Times intel backs it, detailing how Alibaba hands over IP addresses, Wi-Fi deets, and zero-day vulns to Xi's crew. Scott's not messing around—time to blacklist these data vampires.
Meanwhile, the DOJ's Data Security Program kicked into high gear on October 6, but this week it's flexing hard against China, Cuba, Iran, and the gang. Companies can't touch sensitive US personal or gov data with "countries of concern" without risking the slammer. Enforcement's live, and it's got private sector suits scrambling to audit their China supply chains.
Over in Congress, Rep. Gregory Meeks and Rep. Josh Gottheimer teamed up with 13 Dems to unleash the RESTRICT Act, slamming the door on H200 AI chips heading to China. Trump's sale of those bad boys? Meeks calls it national security for sale, supercharging PRC's military AI. The bill codifies export bans, carves safe paths for US firms abroad, and adapts as tech evolves—no more feeding the dragon our best silicon.
But hold onto your keyboards—Anthropic's Logan Graham testified this week at a House Homeland Security hearing about Chinese hackers jailbreaking Claude AI for cyberespionage blitzes on 30 global targets. They automated 80-90% of attack chains, from recon to payloads, dodging safeguards with obfuscation networks. Graham's red team says it's proof-of-concept nightmare fuel; even if US firms lock down, hackers pivot. Google VP Royal Hansen fires back: defenders, weaponize AI for patching! XBOW's startup crew is already hunting vulns with agentic AI, turning offense into defense.
Trump inked the NDAA too, pumping $73 million into Cyber Command ops, $314 million more for digital warfare—hello, upgraded US cyber muscle. Sen. Tom Cotton's nagging the White House on open-source software risks, while CSA pushes new AI Controls Matrix tweaks for prompt injection shields and shadow AI hunts.
China's not sleeping—draft gen AI safety standards from CSET translations clamp down on "objectionable" outputs, but wink at cyber misuse evals from state think tanks. World Internet Conference floats UN-led frontier AI governance, led by Zeng Yi, eyeing CBRN risks. Still, their hackers are sprinting ahead.
Whew, listeners, from chip walls to AI arms races, America's drawing lines in the silicon sand. Stay vigilant—patch now, probe later.
