Scandalous! China's Cyber Siege on US: Hacks, Espionage, and Lies Exposed!
This is your Dragon's Code: America Under Cyber Siege podcast.
Hey there, I'm Ting, and I'm here to dive into the latest on Dragon's Code: America Under Cyber Siege. Let's get straight to it.
Over the past week, we've seen some of the most sophisticated Chinese cyber operations targeting US infrastructure. The latest attack on the US Treasury Department by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in early December is a prime example. According to Rob Joyce, former cybersecurity director at the National Security Agency (NSA), these hacks are designed to disrupt US military supply lines and hinder an effective US response in case of a potential conflict with the PRC, especially over Taiwan[1].
The attack methodologies are getting more advanced. For instance, the Volt Typhoon hacker group, backed by the Chinese government, gained control of hundreds of internet routers in the US to be used as launch pads for attacks on critical infrastructure systems, including water treatment plants, the electrical grid, and transportation systems[1].
The affected systems are vast and critical. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Office of the Treasury Secretary were targeted, both of which administered economic sanctions against Chinese companies in 2024 that engaged in cyberattacks or supplied Russia with weapons for Moscow’s war in Ukraine[1].
Attribution evidence points squarely to the CCP. The outgoing FBI director, Christopher Wray, described China's cyber program as the "defining threat of our generation," emphasizing that Beijing has already pre-positioned malware to "lie in wait on those networks," where it can "inflict real-world harm at a time and place of their choosing"[4].
Defensive measures are being implemented, but it's a race against time. The US has dismantled operations by Chinese state-backed hacker groups like Volt Typhoon and Flax Typhoon, which have been active since at least 2021, often targeting organizations within US critical infrastructure sectors[1][4].
Lessons learned are clear: vigilance is key. As Anne Neuberger, the US Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technologies, noted, these hacks are part of a broader Chinese espionage program focused on key government officials and corporate intellectual property theft[1].
In conclusion, the past week has shown us that the cyber threat from China is more real than ever. It's a threat that requires constant vigilance and swift action. As Ting, I'll keep you updated on Dragon's Code: America Under Cyber Siege. Stay safe out there.
