You’re listening to Digital Frontline: Daily China Cyber Intel, and I’m Ting—your favorite byte-sized expert on all things China, cyber, and, of course, hacking. Today is June 14, 2025, and the digital chessboard just keeps getting more intense, so let’s slice into the latest intelligence and keep this tight.
Right off the top: SentinelOne, a major American cybersecurity firm, just had to fend off not one, but two attempts at intrusion by Chinese state-backed hackers. First up, the PurpleHaze group—think of them as the cyber ninjas linked heavily to APT15—was caught poking around SentinelOne’s exposed servers last fall. The goal? Reconnaissance. Mapping out what’s vulnerable, which is like sticking a cyber toe in the water to prep for bigger splashes later.
Not satisfied with just peeking, these actors came back for more with ShadowPad malware, targeting an IT vendor connected to SentinelOne right at the start of this year. ShadowPad, by the way, is the Swiss Army knife of Chinese malware: modular, versatile, and notoriously tough to root out once it embeds itself. And SentinelOne’s not alone. According to their own experts Aleksandar Milenkoski and Tom Hegel, more than 70 organizations across government, finance, manufacturing, telecom, research, energy, healthcare, food, and engineering have been targeted by these clusters between July 2024 and this spring.
But wait, the plot thickens for critical infrastructure. The Department of Homeland Security and The Soufan Center both flag persistent Chinese cyber intrusions across America’s backbone: municipal systems, energy grids, and even sensitive government sectors like the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Why the interest? Disrupting sanctions, scooping intelligence, and ultimately prepping for any geopolitical flare-up—especially over Taiwan.
Now, what should you do if you’re in the cyber hot seat? First, patch, patch, patch—especially anything publicly accessible or managed by third-party vendors. Many breaches start with a weak link in remote management or cloud services. Next: monitor for lateral movement—these actors love to infiltrate, settle in, and then move quietly across networks. Deploy EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solutions that can catch unusual admin behavior, and if you can, double up on threat intelligence feeds tailored to Chinese APT tactics, techniques, and procedures.
And here’s my Ting Top Tip: Don’t just look for malware signatures. Watch for behavioral anomalies and set up segmented networks, so a breach in one corner doesn’t let attackers waltz through the rest of your digital house.
Expert consensus? These campaigns aren’t slowing down. If you’re in government, energy, manufacturing, or finance, assume you’re a target and act like it. The next frontier is not just defending the castle, but making it too expensive and too visible for attackers to linger undetected.
Stay sharp, stay patched, and check back tomorrow for more cyber intrigue with me, Ting, on the Digital Frontline.
