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

Hey listeners, Ting here, your go-to cyber sleuth on all things China hacking chaos. Buckle up, because the past few days have been a red-hot frenzy of Beijing's digital ninjas pounding U.S. targets like it's Black Friday for backdoors.

It kicked off December 3 when React maintainers dropped the bomb on CVE-2025-55182, the max-severity React2Shell flaw letting unauthenticated creeps remotely execute code on exposed servers. Google's Threat Intelligence lit up the wires Friday, pinning at least five fresh Chinese spy crews on it—UNC6600 sl...

I’m Ting, and listeners, we are on red alert.

Over the past few days, U.S. agencies have been in near-constant firefighting mode against Chinese state-backed operators and their friends. According to CISA and FBI joint updates summarized by Western Illinois University’s Cybersecurity Center, investigators tied multiple Chinese-nexus groups to exploitation of the new React2Shell bug in React Server Components, tracked as CVE‑2025‑55182. CISA first added React2Shell to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on December 6, then by December 12 was warning of “large‑scale global...

I’m Ting, and listeners, we’re going straight into today’s red alert on China’s cyber moves against the US.

Across the last week, the loudest alarm is a perfect storm: Chinese state-linked groups pushing the new React2Shell exploit while quietly parking long‑term implants like BRICKSTORM deep inside US networks. According to The Hacker News, React2Shell, tracked as CVE‑2025‑55182, is a 10.0‑rated remote code execution flaw in React Server Components that went public on December 3 and was weaponized by at least two China‑nexus...

Hey listeners, Ting here, your go-to cyber sleuth on all things China hacking chaos. Buckle up, because the past few days have been a red-alert frenzy with PRC hackers dropping digital bombs on US targets like it's their daily workout. Let's dive into the timeline that's got CISA and FBI scrambling.

It kicked off hard on December 5th when CISA dropped the bomb on BRICKSTORM, this sneaky backdoor from People's Republic of China state-sponsored crews. According to CISA's alert, BRICKSTORM is built for VMware vSphere and...

I’m Ting, and we’re going straight to Red Alert on China’s daily cyber moves against the United States.

Over the past few days, the big story has been quiet, long-term Chinese positioning inside U.S. critical infrastructure, not flashy ransomware. Check Point Software’s new report, “Threats to the Homeland: Cyber Operations Targeting US Government and Critical Infrastructure,” lays out how state‑aligned Chinese groups are shifting from smash‑and‑grab to “strategic access” operations, burrowing into electric grid control systems, telecom backbones, and federal networks t...

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

Okay listeners, I'm Ting, and let me tell you, the past 72 hours in the cyber world have been absolutely bonkers. We're talking about China's threat actors moving faster than a delivery drone in Shanghai, and frankly, it's giving everyone in critical infrastructure some serious heartburn.

Let's jump straight into the chaos. Starting around December 5th, CISA and the NSA dropped a joint advisory about something called BRICKSTORM, and this isn't your average malware. We're talking about a sophisticated Go-based backdoor that China-linked groups like UNC5221 and...

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

I’m Ting, and listeners, we’re going straight to battle stations.

In the last 96 hours, the big red blinking light is a perfect storm of Chinese state-backed activity: Brickstorm inside US infrastructure, Warp Panda prowling VMware, and Chinese APTs pile‑driving the new React2Shell bug that just detonated across the JavaScript world.

Timeline first, because I know you’re all running incident response playbooks in your heads.

December 3: according to coverage of AWS threat intel and the AWS Security Blog, Chinese...

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

Alright listeners, Ting here, and buckle up because Beijing's cyber operations against American infrastructure have hit another fever pitch. We're talking about a coordinated intelligence effort that would make your average spy thriller look quaint.

Let me paint you the picture. According to a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing that just wrapped, China's been running what they're calling Volt Typhoon, this sophisticated group believed to be run by China's state security service. These aren't your script-kiddies. They're embedding themselves deep into our energy systems, water...

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

Hey listeners, it's Ting coming at you live on another absolutely wild December first, 2025. If you haven't been paying attention to what's happening in the cyber world right now, buckle up because China's hacking operations just hit a level that makes previous breaches look like a warm-up round.

Let me paint you the picture. According to Mandiant, Google's cybersecurity firm, we're looking at a coordinated Chinese cyber-espionage campaign that has infiltrated US software developers and law firms with surgical precision. These aren't random attacks, listeners. This...

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

Hey listeners, it's Ting here, and buckle up because what's happening in cyberspace right now is absolutely wild. We're not talking about theoretical threats anymore—we're talking about active Chinese state-backed operations that have been running for years and are probably still embedded in your infrastructure as we speak.

Let me cut straight to the chaos. As of today, November 30th, 2025, we've got a massive situation that former FBI officials are calling unprecedented. A Chinese hacking campaign called Salt Typhoon has reportedly been monitoring telecommunications infrastructure ac...

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

Hey listeners, Ting here, and buckle up because the past week has been absolutely wild in the China cyber space. We're talking about the kind of escalation that makes cybersecurity professionals lose sleep, and trust me, they should be losing sleep right now.

Let's cut straight to the chaos. On November twenty-second, the China-linked APT group known as APT31 was caught launching stealthy cyberattacks directly on Russian IT sector companies. These aren't random targets either—we're talking about contractors and integrators working with government agencies. They us...

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

Alright listeners, this is Ting coming to you live on November 26th, 2025, and let me tell you, the cyber threat board is absolutely lighting up with Chinese state-sponsored activity. I'm not exaggerating when I say we're witnessing a coordinated escalation that demands immediate attention.

Let's start with what just dropped. APT24, a China-linked threat actor, has been running a sophisticated three-year espionage campaign that literally flew under the radar until Google's threat intelligence team exposed it. We're talking about a previously undocumented malware strain called BadAudio...

Hey listeners, Ting here with your must-hear update on China’s daily cyber moves—and trust me, today’s timeline reads like a dystopian script Hollywood wishes it wrote. Let’s jump right into the digital nitty-gritty.

So, rewind to November 10th: the CodeRED emergency alert system, that stalwart lifeline used in thousands of US municipalities, tanked in Montana during a scheduled county-wide test. INC Ransom, not Chinese but worth mentioning, bragged about busting the system’s defenses just days later, exposing a catastrophic single point of failure...

Ting here! It’s Monday, November 24, 2025, currently 2:32am, and if you’re awake like me, you already saw that today is another wild one for cyber watchers tracking China’s digital maneuvers. Forget spy movies: this week’s cyber drama is all zero-day flaws, botnets, and the world’s fastest cyber arms race. Grab your virtual popcorn, listeners.

Let’s talk priority number one: the hack on the Congressional Budget Office. CNN reports US officials squarely suspect Chinese state-backed hackers breached the CBO just two days ago, yanking...

Listen up, because what I'm about to tell you is absolutely wild. We're talking about a turning point in cyber warfare that just happened, and it's not some theoretical future scenario anymore. It's happening right now, in September of this year, and China just showed the entire world what the next generation of hacking looks like.

Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, detected what they're calling the first large-scale autonomous AI cyberattack in mid-September 2025. And here's where it gets interesting. Chinese state-sponsored hackers didn't just use...

Ting here—witty, caffeinated, and ready to break down China’s cyber chess game this week. If you’re imagining the usual script of boring breaches and “please patch now” advisories, buckle up, because the last forty-eight hours have been anything but routine.

Yesterday hit with a bang: Google slapped a massive federal lawsuit on Lighthouse, that infamous China-based “phishing-as-a-service” empire. The Lighthouse gang is not your garden-variety cyber crooks. They gave the middle finger to MFA, SMS gateways, and even spoofed legit brands like E-ZPass and USPS, flee...

Ting here, your favorite cyber detective with a dash of sass, fresh from another wild day in the trenches of digital warfare. Listeners, the past 72 hours have felt like chaos, but in cyber, that’s just Monday, right? In case you missed the sirens, today is October 31, 2025, and the folks behind China’s so-called Typhoon operations did not take Halloween off.

Listeners, it’s Ting with your Red Alert: China's Daily Cyber Moves—grab your cyber-coffee, let’s break down the wild ride of the past few days. If you thought October was going to quietly fade, wrong again. Let’s start with the big one: just yesterday, US steel sector darling Metal Pros announced it was hit by the Play ransomware group.

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

Hey listeners, Ting here, and wow do I have a wild one for you today. Sunday night dropped what might be the biggest cyber accusation of the year, and it's got all the hallmarks of a geopolitical powder keg.

So China's Ministry of State Security just went full public with claims that the NSA, yes, America's National Security Agency, has been conducting what they're calling a premeditated cyber campaign against China's National Time Service Center.
