‼️ China's largest cybersecurity firm, Knownsec, was breached, exposing details of China's state cyber operations.
The data includes cyberweapon documentation, internal hacking tool source code, and global target lists covering over 20 countries, including Japan, Vietnam, and India.
A spreadsheet lists 80 hacked foreign organizations, plus evidence of 95 GB of stolen Indian immigration data and 3 TB of call records from South Korean mobile operator LG U Plus.
One of the documents mention a malicious power bank, disguised as a charging device.
Knownsec is key to China's cybersecurity, providing advanced defense and offensive capabilities, including espionage tools.

Knownsec also provides tools and services for data collection as can be seen in the slides.
Slides also indicate collecting data and mapping critical digital infrastructure of adversarial nations.
It's interesting to note the listing of critical Taiwanese edge devices. Reports confirm nation-state actors are attacking these devices.
