Caught in the act?
#20
In the video linked below, FBI are even calling out how the CCP is using cyber and infrastructure attacks against American and it's Allies. They are also called out for using human resources in this affair, but It doesn't come from the FBI so while the dangers are being presented, I don't know how trustworthy the possible solutions are going to be.

Important topic to know in this thread about exposing China's covert actions and exposing them to the public.
People's Republic of China State-Sponsored Cyber Actor Living off the Land to Evade Detection | CISA (a government website)

Quote: The United States and international cybersecurity authorities are issuing this joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) to highlight a recently discovered cluster of activity of interest associated with a People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored cyber actor, also known as Volt Typhoon. Private sector partners have identified that this activity affects networks across U.S. critical infrastructure sectors, and the authoring agencies believe the actor could apply the same techniques against these and other sectors worldwide.
 
This advisory from the United States National Security Agency (NSA), the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), the Communications Security Establishment’s Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), the New Zealand National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NZ), and the United Kingdom National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK) (hereafter referred to as the “authoring agencies”) provides an overview of hunting guidance and associated best practices to detect this activity.

And from Microsoft about this Volt Typhoon.
Volt Typhoon targets US critical infrastructure with living-off-the-land techniques | Microsoft Security Blog

Quote:Microsoft has uncovered stealthy and targeted malicious activity focused on post-compromise credential access and network system discovery aimed at critical infrastructure organizations in the United States. The attack is carried out by Volt Typhoon, a state-sponsored actor based in China that typically focuses on espionage and information gathering. Microsoft assesses with moderate confidence that this Volt Typhoon campaign is pursuing development of capabilities that could disrupt critical communications infrastructure between the United States and Asia region during future crises.
 
Volt Typhoon has been active since mid-2021 and has targeted critical infrastructure organizations in Guam and elsewhere in the United States. In this campaign, the affected organizations span the communications, manufacturing, utility, transportation, construction, maritime, government, information technology, and education sectors. Observed behavior suggests that the threat actor intends to perform espionage and maintain access without being detected for as long as possible. Microsoft is choosing to highlight this Volt Typhoon activity at this time because of our significant concern around the potential for further impact to our customers. Although our visibility into these threats has given us the ability to deploy detections to our customers, the lack of visibility into other parts of the actor’s activity compelled us to drive broader community awareness and further investigations and protections across the security ecosystem.
 
To achieve their objective, the threat actor puts strong emphasis on stealth in this campaign, relying almost exclusively on living-off-the-land techniques and hands-on-keyboard activity. They issue commands via the command line to (1) collect data, including credentials from local and network systems, (2) put the data into an archive file to stage it for exfiltration, and then (3) use the stolen valid credentials to maintain persistence. In addition, Volt Typhoon tries to blend into normal network activity by routing traffic through compromised small office and home office (SOHO) network equipment, including routers, firewalls, and VPN hardware. They have also been observed using custom versions of open-source tools to establish a command and control (C2) channel over proxy to further stay under the radar.

 
So not only is China getting caught with it's pants down by You Tubers and being exposed by the people on the street, but it's at a point where even the media and special interest groups (FBI and such) are being forced in calling China out. 

Just the other day there was a report that Nancey Pelosi had stated that the group "Code Pink" was a CCP front. Even though she backed off that statement when it was shown that she was taking money from them, the statement still stands. Add this to the fact that a Chinese appointed Judge ordered a major CCP backed company to file for bankruptcy, and we have the starting points of a massive collapse in Chinese Government.

Story on that here:  Evergrande: Crisis-hit Chinese property giant ordered to liquidate (bbc.com)
Quote: Judge Linda Chan said "enough is enough", after the troubled developer repeatedly failed to come up with a plan to restructure its debts.
The firm has been the poster child of China's real estate crisis with more than $300bn (£236bn) of debt.

I believe that China is now entering a state of free fall, and the question remains if they are going to quietly close up it's borders, or try and fight a war to hide their crimes? Let's stay on top of this exposure so that we have both a record of what China did, as well as how they did it.

Probably my last video posting today, but when this came up I thought it should be included with all this Chinese exposure.



It covers a bit of how the CCP treats their own people. What should be kept in mind though, is that even these videos show China in a realistic light, these might be propaganda in order to make people feel like China isn't very fit to fight. My tip off is when people who claim to know that the inside story of China but fail to state that the population is only 400 million people.

Yes, China is hiding the fact that it's short about a billion people that never existed.
