Hello, cyber sleuths—Ting here with your Digital Dragon Watch, and trust me, this past week in China-linked cyber activity has been one for the books. Let’s jack in!
First off, let’s talk about the headline-grabber: the SentinelOne saga. Between July 2024 and March 2025, more than 70 organizations got tangled in a sweeping set of attacks, with SentinelOne, a US cybersecurity firm, right in the crosshairs. The attackers? SentinelOne is putting the blame squarely on China, linking the activity to notorious clusters like PurpleHaze, APT15, and UNC5174. The victim list reads like a roll call for the global economy: government agencies, manufacturing giants, financial institutions, telecom players, research centers, and—get this—even the logistics company handling hardware for SentinelOne’s own team. These weren’t just drive-bys; some intrusions lasted for months, others got stomped out quickly, but all point to a sustained, high-stakes espionage campaign.
What’s the big risk here? The hardware supply chain attack is especially chilling. The threat actors gained access to systems that could’ve been used to infect employee laptops before they even left the box, compromise OS images, or siphon off personal and location details. If you thought plugging in that brand new laptop was safe, well, time for a second opinion.
While SentinelOne dodged a bullet, the threat vector rings alarm bells across the industry: third-party vendors have become a favorite playground for Chinese threat groups. The attackers focused on hardware logistics—knowing that if you own the supply chain, you own the company.
Zooming out, this ties into a wider pattern. Chinese hackers have lately doubled down on reconnaissance—mapping internet-facing servers, sizing up vulnerabilities, and then pouncing. Just ask the government of Taiwan, where attacks have doubled and the targets are always high-value: government systems and telecom infrastructure. This dovetails with the UK’s own warnings earlier this month, naming China as the top national cybersecurity threat following a spate of breaches.
US government response? Besides tightening its own third-party risk management, the Feds are beefing up requirements for vendors and pushing for zero-trust frameworks. The recommendations from experts are laser-focused: scrutinize your supply chain, segment your networks, keep an eye on internet-facing assets, and, above all, never underestimate reconnaissance. Today’s mapping is tomorrow’s breach.
Final thought: As tensions keep simmering between China and its neighbors, cyber is the invisible front line. Stay patched, stay paranoid, and don’t let your guard down—because the digital dragons aren’t sleeping. Until next week, this is Ting, signing off but never logging out.
