Potential for China Cyber Response to Heightened U.S.-China Tensions

Abstract: 

In response to increasing tensions between China and the United States, the CISA released this cybersecurity advisory that details the tools and techniques used by cyber actors affiliated to the Chinese government to steal information. The Chinese government is known to use its cyber capabilities to steal intellectual property in order to increase its global technological and economic presence. Reports show that these attacks are not limited to a particular sector, as they seem to attack networks belonging to a variety of industries. The government recommends organizations to consistently keep their software up-to-date, disable unnecessary services that could be potential avenues of attack for adversaries, and to diligently monitor their networks for signs of possible intrusions.Potential for China Cyber Response to Heightened U.S.-China Tensions
