Unveiling Cyber Intrusions: Chinese Hackers Expose Espionage Operations in Recent Leak

 In a recent cybersecurity revelation, leaked documents have exposed the intricate operations of Chinese state-linked hackers targeting various foreign entities, with India being a prominent victim. The cache of over 570 files, comprising contracts, images, and chat logs, sheds light on the activities of a Chinese firm, iSoon (also known as Auxun), hired by the government for extensive data collection.

Based in Shanghai, iSoon specializes in providing hacking and data-gathering services to Chinese government agencies and entities. The leaked documents, reportedly attributed to iSoon itself, have not been independently verified, and the motive behind the leak remains unclear.

The leaked files primarily focus on the listed targets rather than the actual data stolen. Notable breaches include:

  1. India: The hackers successfully infiltrated and stole 95.2 gigabytes of immigration data, raising concerns about the compromise of sensitive information.

  2. South Korea: The leak mentions the breach of LG U Plus, a prominent telecom provider, where Chinese hackers allegedly pilfered 3 terabytes of call logs.

The exposed documents provide a rare glimpse into the scale and sophistication of cyber-espionage activities orchestrated by Chinese state-linked entities. The extent of the damage caused by these breaches is yet to be fully comprehended.

It's crucial to emphasize that the information in the article is derived from leaked documents and has not undergone independent verification by all parties involved. The cybersecurity community is closely monitoring developments to assess the authenticity of the disclosed details and to understand the potential ramifications of these cyber intrusions. Stay tuned for further updates as the situation unfolds.
