Blog on Chinese cyber operations, online surveillance, always on the hunt for leaked documents : |

[NetAskari @NetAskari]

Has China hacked the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) or did we just witness a false-flag operations ? An anonymous source presented us with some data and claims that CN hackers associated with the MSS have gained access to the emails of the pan-asian organization. But the data was not as conclusive as we thought. So, we tried to separate the truth from fiction. 1/3

Must-read by @NetAskari - the online half of how the UFWD is engaged in “strengthening coordinated supervision of the two battlefields, home and abroad, and the two fronts, online and offline” as noted in @SafeguardDefend A Formula for Repression. 👇👇👇

The Chinese United Front Work Department has had people like Jensen Huang on the radar for quite a while. They built a full data analysis system around the attempt to identify key players in the Taiwan-US semiconductor nexus 1/2 : "Profiles, Network Characteristics, and Recommendations for Leading Ethnic Chinese Talent in the Chip Industry"

China's shadowy "United Front Work Department" uses an AI powered Big-Data Center at Jinan University to help with expansion of its global influence operations, internal documents reveal. A 160 sqm installation, including six departments use mass OSINT collection and analysis to expand the Communist Party's reach around the world. 🧵 1/6

DeepMind researchers were able to formally verify that the widely used encryption protocol works as intended. Their stretch goal? Do the same for “all the software of the world.” https://t.co/DDiA8sG5RA

It will be funny when the MPS operations run into MSS operations :D

Throughout 2026, our @ESETresearch team has observed various Chinese threat actors conduct espionage operations that seemed directed at the Southeast Asian scam compound industry. We believe these are part a wider anti-fraud crusade initiated by 🇨🇳 law-enforcement (MPS)… 1/

During our investigation we followed one possible trail to a Chinese IP that is associated to KeyPlug ( and maybe APT41 ), using @Huntio . But many questions are still unresolved. Some red-flags and some genuine observations await. 2/3

报告指出，这套“镇压公式”的具体做法是“借鉴中国国内网格化基层社会治理经验，以海外大型社团为主干，以社团负责人、海外华侨华人党员、海外警侨联络员为节点，形成海外涉侨网格化管理模式。”

Well, that report was just not really factual it seems. The 'GraphenOS' was a self-made fork of a reseller that lacked serious security audits: https://t.co/Bij1flf7zo

We are going to have two big reports coming out this coming week. One concerning the upcoming APEC summit and one concerning another high profile project concerning Big-Data analysis for global mass surveillance by the Chinese government. Stay tuned...
