Must-read by @NetAskari - the online half of how the UFWD is engaged in “strengthening coordinated supervision of the two battlefields, home and abroad, and the two fronts, online and offline” as noted in @SafeguardDefend A Formula for Repression. 👇👇👇

The Chinese United Front Work Department has had people like Jensen Huang on the radar for quite a while. They built a full data analysis system around the attempt to identify key players in the Taiwan-US semiconductor nexus 1/2 : "Profiles, Network Characteristics, and Recommendations for Leading Ethnic Chinese Talent in the Chip Industry"

中国解放軍サイバー空間部隊配属の大学生向け直接採用将校の募集ページ 北京、鄭州、上海、成都等のサイバー要員の募集 面白いのは、対象が双一流大学の学生で大学入試(高考)の点数が高かった者であり、添付のxlsxにある専門技術将校の219ポスト・238人の79%が修士・博士以上で学歴至上主義であること
「直招军官」というのは、軍が大学生(主に理系ハイテク分野の専攻者)から直接将校の候補者を選び出す制度であり、2021年1月施行の『现役军官管理暂行条例』や『现役军官选拔补充暂行规定』が根拠法 これから解放軍はトップ大学の理系人材で強くなる 自衛隊も、大学生の理系高度人材獲得競争で勝てるか

DeepMind researchers were able to formally verify that the widely used encryption protocol works as intended. Their stretch goal? Do the same for “all the software of the world.” buff.ly/Z7JCGHx

It will be funny when the MPS operations run into MSS operations :D
Throughout 2026, our @ESETresearch team has observed various Chinese threat actors conduct espionage operations that seemed directed at the Southeast Asian scam compound industry. We believe these are part a wider anti-fraud crusade initiated by 🇨🇳 law-enforcement (MPS)… 1/

#ESETresearch APT Activity Report (Apr–Sep 2026): Multiple 🇨🇳 operations appear to support efforts against scam compounds – the targeting of a hotel in 🇵🇼 Palau with a new backdoor, and #SlippyNunchucks deploying #DarkVigil against Chinese-speaking individuals in 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka. 1/3

Has China hacked the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) or did we just witness a false-flag operations ? An anonymous source presented us with some data and claims that CN hackers associated with the MSS have gained access to the emails of the pan-asian organization. But the data was not as conclusive as we thought. So, we tried to separate the truth from fiction. 1/3

During our investigation we followed one possible trail to a Chinese IP that is associated to KeyPlug ( and maybe APT41 ), using @Huntio . But many questions are still unresolved. Some red-flags and some genuine observations await. 2/3

报告指出,这套“镇压公式”的具体做法是“借鉴中国国内网格化基层社会治理经验,以海外大型社团为主干,以社团负责人、海外华侨华人党员、海外警侨联络员为节点,形成海外涉侨网格化管理模式。” rfa.org/mandarin/xinwenkuaix…

Well, that report was just not really factual it seems. The 'GraphenOS' was a self-made fork of a reseller that lacked serious security audits: joint-defense-team.com/post/…

We are going to have two big reports coming out this coming week. One concerning the upcoming APEC summit and one concerning another high profile project concerning Big-Data analysis for global mass surveillance by the Chinese government. Stay tuned...
