Where do "digital" spies come from? What moves are there? The National Security Department is bottoming out!
The current rapid development of network technology, coupled with the emergence of new things such as 5G, metaverse, and ChatGPT, makes people exclaim that the future has arrived. Along with it comes a large number of hidden network security risks and hidden dangers.
As a specialized agency for maintaining national security and a competent department for anti espionage work, the national security organs continue to strengthen the tracking, monitoring, and prevention of related activities, effectively safeguarding our network security, and allowing "digital" spies to be exposed in their true form and have nowhere to hide!
Where did the attack come from?
Heavy spy shadows thousands of miles away
Currently, cyberspace has become an important battlefield for foreign espionage and intelligence agencies to carry out cyber espionage work against China, and China has become the main victim of sustained high-level threat attacks. In recent years, national security agencies have discovered dozens of espionage and intelligence agencies from different countries and regions conducting cyber attacks within our territory. They may form specialized agencies, establish "cover companies", develop professional means to directly carry out cyber attack infiltration operations against me, or use "behind the scenes manipulation" and "service outsourcing" to instruct professional company institutions and hacker organizations to carry out operations, or use "purchasing" data, vulnerabilities, tools and other methods to lure domestic institutions and personnel to carry out operations. Some countries also use the pretext of "going out hunting" to persuade other countries to jointly implement them.
Who is the potential target?
Knife and sword shadows within reach
From the perspective of attack targets, in addition to continuing to carry out cyber attacks on traditional targets such as government agencies and classified units in our country, foreign espionage and intelligence agencies are also constantly strengthening their attack infiltration into our key information infrastructure and major infrastructure network systems, and further extending their black hands to institutions such as higher education institutions, scientific research institutions, large enterprises, high-tech companies, as well as corporate executives, experts and scholars.
From the perspective of the attack situation, it involves various software systems such as email, office automation, user management, security protection, as well as various hardware devices such as servers, computers, switches, routers, as well as civilian household devices such as mobile phones, WIFI, cameras, etc., which can be described as "no hole, no entry".
What techniques are there?
A highly threatening "professional team"
Unlike general hackers in society, foreign espionage and intelligence agencies have the ability to mobilize resources, strong technical capabilities, rich experience in network attack activities, and more covert methods.
Some of them collect and steal personal information data, use social engineering to accurately forge phishing emails and websites targeting their target audience for deception attacks; Some directly attack and infiltrate me by mining and purchasing critical software systems and hardware devices with zero day vulnerabilities; Some first invade and control the network of our supply chain enterprises or operation and maintenance service institutions, and then use this as a "springboard" to attack downstream user units; Some have infiltrated and controlled our civilian and household network equipment on a large scale, establishing "positions" to carry out cyber attack activities against me and other countries. Behind highly professional and covert attack techniques, there are often more dangerous attempts!
Common methods of overseas cyber attacks on me
How much harm does it cause?
Security issues that cannot be underestimated
The network attack activities of overseas espionage and intelligence agencies are large-scale, deep in scale, and highly persistent. Once the network systems of our country's government agencies, confidential units, and other important enterprise institutions are attacked or invaded, the stored and processed state secrets, important data, file materials, etc. may be completely wiped out. Once my critical information infrastructure and major infrastructure network systems are invaded and controlled, they will face the risk of being interfered with and destroyed at any time. Foreign espionage and intelligence agencies engage in cyber attacks to steal commercial secrets and intellectual property rights of our corporate institutions, monitor the content of our citizens' online communication for a long time, and seriously infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of our citizens and organizations.
