  • Cyber Pressure Cooker Whistling Loud: China's Hacks Hit Telecom, Govs, and Beyond! Patch Fast or Be Pwned

    Cyber Pressure Cooker Whistling Loud: China's Hacks Hit Telecom, Govs, and Beyond! Patch Fast or Be Pwned
    2025/06/28
    This is your Red Alert: China's Daily Cyber Moves podcast.

    I'm Ting—your cyber oracle with a dash of sass, streaming live from the digital trenches. Let’s not waste time with boring intros; today is June 28, 2025, and we are once again on Red Alert: China’s Daily Cyber Moves. Buckle up, because the cyber pressure cooker is whistling loud.

    The past few days have been nothing short of electrifying in global cyberspace. Taking center stage is Salt Typhoon, the ever-industrious Chinese actor with a taste for network edge devices. The big fireworks started brewing June 25, when the FBI and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security issued an urgent advisory: Salt Typhoon was caught exploiting a catastrophic Cisco IOS XE flaw, CVE-2023-20198, with a perfect 10.0 CVSS score. They breached at least three routers at a major Canadian telecom—not named, but you know who you are—using the access to fish around for sensitive configuration data. They even set up GRE tunnels, effectively siphoning traffic and turning those routers into permanent listening posts. Think of it as planting a bug right in the main conference room of your network.

    And before you ask—yes, the U.S. is right in the blast zone. Recorded Future’s report shows the same flaw hitting U.S., South African, and Italian service providers. Salt Typhoon doesn’t discriminate. Their reconnaissance can turn into full-on data grabs overnight, leveraging any foothold to breach even more systems.

    Yesterday’s emergency bulletins from CISA and the FBI highlighted this as an extremely active threat. The message: patch Cisco devices immediately, audit all configs for sneaky GRE tunnels, and comb through logs for unusual traffic, especially exfiltration to Asia-Pacific IP ranges.

    Now, what’s a cyber chess game without a few extra pieces? Enter PurpleHaze and ShadowPad—two China-backed clusters who recently set their sights on… wait for it… security firms themselves. SentinelOne just rebuffed an attempted breach: in early 2025, ShadowPad malware surfaced in an IT vendor tied to SentinelOne. The campaign—dating back to July 2024—targeted everything from South Asian governments to European journalists, and yes, more than 70 critical infrastructure organizations worldwide. We’re talking finance, energy, healthcare, telecom—a regular grab-bag of high-value targets.

    Events are moving fast. If the escalation continues, we could very well see attempts to disrupt major backbone infrastructure or even U.S. municipal systems, as Chinese-speaking hackers have already probed local government platforms. In the most extreme scenario, China could use these persistent footholds for broader disruption—to rattle public confidence or pre-position for strategic “surprises.” Space and cyber now go hand in hand in the U.S.-China rivalry, and even satellite networks are on the target list.

    So, today’s Red Alert? Patch all edge devices, hunt for tunnels, and don’t assume this is just recon. The threat is active and creative. Stay sharp—because in this game, surprise is their favorite weapon, and forewarned is your best defense.

  • Spicy Sichuan Hacks: China's Cyber Moves Exposed! Port Chaos, Grid Attacks, and More

    Spicy Sichuan Hacks: China's Cyber Moves Exposed! Port Chaos, Grid Attacks, and More
    2025/06/26
    This is your Red Alert: China's Daily Cyber Moves podcast.

    Red Alert: China’s Daily Cyber Moves

    Hey, I’m Ting—cyber obsessive, China watcher, and confessed lover of spicy Sichuan hotpot and even hotter zero-day exploits. Let’s waste no time. If you’re in U.S. critical infrastructure, today’s not a “let’s check the vulnerabilities tomorrow” kind of day. You’re already late.

    Let’s talk Salt Typhoon—a Chinese-linked hacking group that’s been extra-spicy this week. They pounced on a Cisco vulnerability, CVE-2023-20198, targeting telecom giants from the U.S. to Canada. If you blink, your firewall’s toast, and they’re inside, poking through your data pantry. Cisco’s scrambling, and so should anyone with exposed networking equipment. Salt Typhoon’s signature? Rapid exploitation before patches go live. There’s a pattern here: reconnaissance, exploit, pivot, escalate, and, if you’re not monitoring, exfiltrate. Incident response teams: brew more coffee[1].

    Just yesterday, CISA and the FBI pinged out a joint advisory—Salt Typhoon’s been scanning U.S. infrastructure, especially port networks. Think Norfolk, Long Beach, Houston. What’s the play? Softening port defenses, maybe for future kinetic events. The U.S. Cyber Command just rolled out a task force with the Coast Guard. They’re not looking for smugglers—they’re hunting for lateral movement across maritime IT and OT. Emergency drills are underway. Expect port authorities to run tabletop exercises all week[2].

    Timeline-wise: three days ago, abnormal traffic flagged in municipal networks running Cityworks, a platform for local governments. For reference, Cityworks manages everything from waste pickup to water supply. Chinese-speaking hackers got a foothold by exploiting an unpatched vulnerability local sysadmins missed during their morning coffee. It’s not a “lights out” attack—yet—but it’s a clear warning shot[4].

    Zooming out, last month’s Defense Intelligence Agency threat assessment echoed what we’re seeing. The PLA isn’t just hunting secrets: they’re pre-positioning in U.S. networks to disrupt supply lines if things go sideways, especially over Taiwan. Think about it: you wake up one day and your ports, energy grids, and municipal systems all misfire. That’s the escalation scenario. CCP hackers have already hit the U.S. Treasury—specifically the Office of Foreign Assets Control, a nerve center for sanctioning Chinese companies. The timing? Just before the new administration takes office, stoking geopolitics with a dash of malware[3][5].

    What’s next-level? If tensions flare, expect coordinated attacks—cripple military logistics, paralyze ports, sow chaos. In peacetime, it’s espionage and persistent access. In crisis? Sabotage.

    Defensive actions? Patch critical vulnerabilities now, not tomorrow. Segment your networks. Hunt for lateral movement in OT systems. Run red team scenarios like your budget depends on it—because soon, your uptime might.

    That’s your daily red alert. Ting out—now go check your logs.

    Ooh, Ting Spills the Tea: China's Cyber Moves Got Us Shook! Patch Now or Cry Later, Babes 😱🍵💻
    2025/06/24
    This is your Red Alert: China's Daily Cyber Moves podcast.

    Hey, it’s Ting—your favorite cyber sleuth with a soft spot for dumplings and digital forensics. If you haven’t updated your firewall or at least brewed some strong tea, buckle up: the last few days have been a masterclass in China’s cyber escalation, and today, June 24, has set new records for digital high drama.

    Let’s get right to the red alerts. Early morning, CISA and the FBI dropped an emergency advisory: Chinese threat actors, notably the infamous Salt Typhoon, are leveraging the old—but apparently not old enough—Cisco CVE-2023-20198 vulnerability. Their favorite targets? Telecom providers, not just in Asia, but in places like Canada, and, you guessed it, in the US. The attacks are quick, nimble, and precise—think Salt Typhoon with a scalpel, not a hammer. By noon, several US municipal systems using legacy government management tools had also reported intrusions, traced back to Chinese-speaking hacker groups. These actors are known for their subtlety: instead of snatching the jewels, they like to scope out the blueprints and plant quiet backdoors for the long game.

    It gets juicier. The US Defense Intelligence Agency’s latest threat assessment, released late yesterday, confirms what many of us suspected: since early 2024, China’s PLA cyber units have been actively pre-positioning within US critical infrastructure, lying low and ready to flip the digital switch if tensions—say, over the Taiwan Strait—blow up. These are not your run-of-the-mill ransomware kids. We’re talking infiltration of water systems, logistics networks, and power grids. The logic is chillingly simple: cripple supply lines, sow confusion, and slow any US response before the first shot is even fired.

    Timeline-wise, the US Treasury Department’s December breach stands out. It wasn’t just about exfiltrating sensitive files from OFAC or the Treasury Secretary’s inner circle. This was Beijing’s surgical warning: “We can hit where it hurts—economics and sanctions enforcement.” Treasury’s remediation is still underway, with several systems partially offline and under continuous monitoring.

    Today’s pattern? Surge activity targeting municipal networks—think CityWorks vulnerabilities—intertwined with probing of critical vendors connected to the energy and transport sectors. Defensive actions are all-hands-on-deck: mandatory patching, network segmentation, MFA across the board, and live threat hunts by both federal Blue Teams and private sector partners. Expect aftershocks. If this escalates—say, cyber-physical effects or coordinated disinformation—CISA may issue broader shutdown advisories. No one wants to test what would happen if Salt Typhoon decided to go kinetic.

    So, fellow techies, stay patched, stay paranoid, and please—don’t reuse passwords. This is Ting signing off, but in this line of work, ‘offline’ is just a figure of speech.
