Hey, did you hear? China's hackers are at it again! SentinelOne spills the tea on their latest cyber snooping. Tune in for the juicy deets!

This is your Red Alert: China's Daily Cyber Moves podcast.

I'm Ting, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on China's latest cyber moves. Let's dive right in.

As of today, June 12, 2025, it's clear that Chinese cyber actors are on the move, targeting a wide range of sectors. SentinelOne, a major cybersecurity firm, recently revealed that it was surveilled by China-linked hackers. These hackers, associated with the PurpleHaze and ShadowPad threat clusters, aimed to breach SentinelOne's systems by compromising an IT vendor managing their hardware logistics. This happened in early 2025, and the campaign started as early as July 2024, with multiple intrusions into over 70 organizations across sectors like manufacturing, government, finance, and telecommunications[1][2].

The U.S. Department of Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) warned in its 2025 threat assessment that China is focusing on cyber warfare, pre-positioning for potential attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure. This strategic move could enable China to disrupt U.S. operations if a conflict were imminent[3]. Just last December, the U.S. Treasury Department faced a state-sponsored cyberattack from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), highlighting the escalating hybrid tactics used by Beijing[5].

Both the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI have been watching these developments closely. They've issued alerts about ongoing threats and emphasized the need for robust defensive measures. As Aleksandar Milenkoski and Tom Hegel from SentinelOne noted, the malicious activity is linked to China-nexus threat actors, overlapping with groups like APT15 and UNC5174[2].

Looking ahead, there's a potential for escalation. China's PLA reorganization signals a strong focus on cyber and space warfare[3]. The U.S. must remain vigilant, as these attacks could become more sophisticated and targeted. Taiwanese government networks, for instance, faced nearly 2.4 million cyberattacks daily in 2024, showing the scale of operations[5]. Stay alert, folks It's time to beef up those defenses and keep a sharp eye on China's cyber moves.
