“Contractors and companies are more or less speculative and motivated to create a vast network,” the Ministry of Justice official said. The official says, “This official is” targeting and indifferent to vulnerable computers around the world, even if it does not, or get those hacks. This leads to a safer and more vulnerable environment. “
The company based in Shanghai I-Soon, the Chinese Department of State Security Contractor (MSS) and the MPS Department of Justice (MPS) that the Ministry of Justice says it has used eight of the alleged hackers, in some cases, based on several email inboxes, can use $ 10,000 and $ 75,000 per fund. The company, which has more than 100 employees, has earned tens of millions of dollars in some years, and its executives have predicted that according to the indictment, it would earn about $ 75 million by 2025. The prosecutors also point out that the company worked with 43 different MSS offices and MPs in 31 China provinces that were operating independently and often purchased similar products from I-Soon.
According to the indictment, the I-Soon, which the hacker operation to hire him had previously been leaked in its internal documents and communications, offered his clients “the day-to-day arsenal” of unbearable and hacked defects. It is also said that the program sells password packaging tools and is named “infiltration testing”-which prosecutors say is actually intended to be used for unwanted victims-which is said to include targeted phishing tool kits as well as a malware.
The company is also said to have committed its goal of victims, which the Ministry of Justice says, including specific media, opponents, religious leaders and scholars who had criticized the Chinese government, as well as the New York State Assembly, a representative of an anonymous religious group banned in China.
Yin Kucheng and Zhou Shui, a alleged colleague in APT27 or Silk Tops, are accused of hacking a wide range of defense contractors, thoughts, a law firm, a managed communication service provider and other victims. In December, the BeyondTrust Software Contractor warned the US Treasury that the agency was violated due to infiltration into the BeyondTrust network – an act that was later attributed to Typhoon Silk. Regarding today’s allegations of the Ministry of Justice, Microsoft also released guidance on Typhoon Operations Techniques and highlighted how he was looking for an information technology supply chain.
In Yin’s communication with a colleague in an indictment against him, a colleague shows that instead of directly looking for large -scale victim organizations, they target their subsidiaries and point out that “they are the same and easier.” Yin replies, agrees that the strategy is “correct”.
All 12 Chinese nationals who have been accused of indictment remain large – and they are likely to never see a US court. But the State Department has announced a reward for information that led to their arrest between $ 2 and $ 10 million.
Brian Worrandran, Assistant Director of Cyber Division FBI, writes in a statement that using the term CCP to refer to the Chinese Communist Party, “These charges must use all the tools available to identify you, imagine you as you, and use all the tools available to all available, all available tools. We will use the tools available for all that is available.
