    Hey there, I'm Ting, and welcome to my Red Alert update on China's daily cyber moves. It's Christmas Eve, but the cyber world doesn't take holidays. Let's dive right in.

    Recently, the FBI and CISA issued a joint statement warning about China's targeting of commercial telecommunications infrastructure. This isn't just about stealing trade secrets; it's about compromising our critical infrastructure. Think water treatment plants, electric grids, and transportation systems. The threat is real, and it's escalating.

    Director Christopher Wray of the FBI and Director Jen Easterly of CISA have been sounding the alarm. They've testified to Congress about the sheer scale of China's hacking program, which outnumbers the FBI's cyber personnel. It's like a cyber army, and we need to be prepared.

    The latest alerts reveal that PRC-affiliated actors have compromised networks at multiple telecommunications companies. They're stealing customer call records data, compromising private communications of individuals involved in government or political activity, and even copying information subject to U.S. law enforcement requests. It's a broad and significant cyber espionage campaign.

    But here's the thing: China's not just on the offense; they're also playing defense. Their national cyber incident response center, CNCERT, accused the U.S. government of launching cyberattacks against two Chinese tech companies. They claim these attacks were aimed at stealing trade secrets. It's a classic case of "you did it too."

    Now, let's talk timeline. In February, the FBI and CISA issued an advisory warning about Chinese cyber actors targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. In October, they issued another joint statement about PRC activity targeting telecommunications. And just last week, CNCERT made their allegations against the U.S.

    So, what's the takeaway? China's cyber activities are a daily threat, and we need to be on high alert. We need to strengthen our cyber defenses, and we need to do it now. CISA's Cybersecurity Performance Goals and advisories are a good place to start. And if you're a company, don't wait until it's too late – report any cyber incidents to the FBI or CISA immediately.

    As we head into the new year, let's be clear: the cyber war is on, and we need to be ready. Stay vigilant, and stay safe. That's all for now. Stay tuned for more updates from me, Ting.
