U.S. and Allied Agencies Warn of Chinese Covert Hacker Networks Targeting Infrastructure
A coalition of U.S. and international government agencies has issued a warning about a significant shift in Chinese hacker tactics. These hackers are now using large-scale covert networks composed of compromised everyday devices, such as routers and IoT devices, to conduct cyber attacks. The advisory, which includes input from agencies like the U.K. National Cyber Security Centre and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), highlights the creation and constant updating of multiple covert networks. These networks are used for reconnaissance, malware delivery, and information theft, posing a threat to critical infrastructure. The advisory emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt robust cybersecurity practices to defend against these evolving threats.
