China’s hackers carry out large-scale systematic cyber violations against foreign governments and companies including Bharat.
Chinese intelligence and cyber-surveillance recently have breached 95.2 gigabytes of Bharatiya immigration data, according to The Washington Post.
Other targeted countries include Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Nepal, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and others.
‘The Beijing’s hackers alleged that they are taking advantage of weaknesses in software systems from companies such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft’, published in a report in The Post.
“The cache which consists of more than 570 files, images and chat logs — offers look inside the operations of one of the firms that Chinese government agencies hire for on-demand, mass data-collecting operations”, according to The Post.
The documents originate from iSoon, aka Auxun, a Shanghai-based Chinese company that provides Chinese government agencies, security organizations, and state-owned businesses with third-party hacking and data collection services.
“One spreadsheet listed 80 overseas targets that iSoon hackers have ruptured. The haul included 95.2 gigabytes of immigration data from Bharat and a 3 terabyte collection of call logs from South Korea’s LG U Plus telecom provider”, according to the reports of The Post.
The hacking tools are used by Chinese state agents to unmask users of social media platforms outside China such as X, formerly known as Twitter, to break into email and bury the online activity of overseas agents.
