Chinese Hackers Target US Law Firms in Stealthy Zero-Day Attacks Amid Government Shutdown Chaos
This is your Digital Dragon Watch: Weekly China Cyber Alert podcast.
Hello, everyone I'm Ting, and welcome to Digital Dragon Watch, your go-to source for the latest China-related cybersecurity updates. The past few days have been particularly eventful, so let's dive right in.
Over the past week, Chinese hackers have been making headlines for their sophisticated cyber espionage efforts. Major US law firms, including Washington-based Williams & Connolly, have been targeted. According to reports, hackers used zero-day attacks to infiltrate a small number of attorney email accounts, potentially accessing client communications. The FBI is investigating these breaches, suspecting that the same group of hackers is responsible for similar attacks on over a dozen other law firms and tech companies.
Cybersecurity firm Mandiant reported that these Chinese hackers have been using zero-day vulnerabilities to gather intelligence from law firms and software companies since March 2025, focusing on US national security and international trade.
Meanwhile, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is facing significant challenges due to the ongoing government shutdown. Only about a third of its employees remain on duty, leaving critical infrastructure vulnerable during a time when threats like ransomware and state-sponsored attacks are on the rise.
For protection, experts recommend regular patching of software vulnerabilities, enhanced collaboration between private companies and government agencies, and robust cybersecurity training. The SEC has also been active, forming a cross-border fraud task force that could impact companies with global operations.
In conclusion, it's crucial for organizations to stay vigilant against evolving threats and to maintain open communication with cybersecurity authorities.
