Hey there, tech warriors! Ting here with your Digital Dragon Watch for June 12th, 2025. Let's dive right into this week's China cyber shenanigans, shall we?
The biggest story breaking this week comes from SentinelOne, who just revealed they were targeted as part of a massive China-linked hacking campaign. Between July 2024 and March 2025, Chinese threat actors went after more than 70 organizations across multiple sectors including manufacturing, government, finance, and telecommunications.
What makes this particularly sneaky is how the attackers operated. Rather than going straight for SentinelOne, they compromised a third-party IT services company that managed hardware logistics for SentinelOne employees. Talk about the digital equivalent of poisoning the well! According to SentinelOne's spokesperson, the attackers could have used this access to infect employee laptops before shipping or compromise OS images.
SentinelOne researchers Aleksandar Milenkoski and Tom Hegel have attributed these attacks to threat clusters they're calling "PurpleHaze," which overlaps with known Chinese espionage groups APT15 and UNC5174. The good news? SentinelOne confirmed their investigation showed the attackers were unsuccessful in compromising their systems.
This campaign isn't isolated. In October 2024, the same actors targeted a South Asian government agency and performed reconnaissance on SentinelOne's internet-facing servers. And remember, this comes just months after the UK's National Cyber Security Center named China as the dominant threat to national cybersecurity following a series of breaches in May.
Let's also not forget what's happening in Taiwan, where Chinese cyberattacks doubled to a staggering 2.4 million daily attempts in 2024, according to Taiwan's National Security Bureau. These primarily targeted government systems and telecommunications firms, with successful attacks rising by 20% compared to 2023.
For those of you wondering how to protect yourselves, here's my quick tech advice: scrutinize your supply chain relationships, implement zero-trust architecture, and monitor for the indicators of compromise related to PurpleHaze and ShadowPad malware that SentinelOne has published.
The sheer scale of these operations shows China's cyber capabilities continue to evolve. As someone who's been watching this space for years, I'd say we're seeing a clear pattern of targeting the supply chain to get to high-value targets.
That's all for this week's Digital Dragon Watch! Stay vigilant, update your systems, and remember: in cyberspace, the Great Wall isn't keeping threats in—it's projecting them out. This is Ting, signing off until next week!
