Tingling Suspicion: China's Cyber Moves Exposed! Is Your Data Safe? Juicy Details Inside
This is your Red Alert: China's Daily Cyber Moves podcast.
Hey there, I'm Ting, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on China's daily cyber moves. Let's dive right in.
As we speak, on February 22, 2025, the cyber landscape is heating up. The past few days have seen a surge in Chinese state-sponsored cyber activities targeting US critical infrastructure. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI have been sounding the alarm, issuing emergency alerts and advisories to affected companies and organizations.
Just last week, a joint statement from the FBI and CISA revealed that PRC-affiliated actors have compromised networks at multiple telecommunications companies, enabling the theft of customer call records data and the compromise of private communications of individuals involved in government or political activity[2][5]. This is part of a broader cyber espionage campaign that has been ongoing for months.
But that's not all. In early December, a state-sponsored cyberattack on the US Treasury Department marked the latest escalation in Beijing's use of hybrid tactics to undermine its strategic competitors. The targeted entities, including the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the Office of the Treasury Secretary, had administered economic sanctions against Chinese companies in 2024[4].
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is also using cyber operations to disrupt military supply lines and hinder an effective US response in case of a potential conflict, especially over Taiwan. In 2024, Taiwan bore the brunt of these attacks, with government networks seeing nearly 2.4 million cyberattacks daily[4].
The US has dismantled operations by Chinese state-backed hacker groups, including Volt Typhoon, which gained control of hundreds of internet routers in the US to be used as launch pads for attacks on critical infrastructure systems. Another group, Salt Typhoon, targeted data from numerous US officials, including phones used by Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio[4].
So, what does this mean for us? It means we need to be on high alert. The CCP is testing our defenses, lying in wait for the perfect moment to strike. We need to strengthen our cyber defenses across the commercial communications sector and be prepared for potential escalation scenarios.
In the words of Rob Joyce, former cybersecurity director at the National Security Agency (NSA), these hacks serve "so that they can disrupt our ability to support military activities or to distract us, to get us to focus on a domestic incident at a time when something is flaring up in a different part of the world."
Stay vigilant, folks. The cyber war is heating up, and we need to be ready. That's all for now. Stay safe out there.
