Tonight I read about something that made me reflect a bit. It seems that the cybersecurity teams of 16 countries, including our NCSC, have issued a coordinated warning about cyber operations originating from China. And it's no small matter.

The interesting point is the method these actors are using: botnets built with compromised internet devices. They basically turn routers, cameras, and other devices into invisible weapons for their attacks. One of these botnets, called Raptor Train, has already infected over 200,000 devices worldwide just in 2024. Imagine the scale of this operation.

What’s even more concerning is the report from the Department of Justice they mention: the Volt Typhoon group has already strategically positioned itself within American and allied critical infrastructure. This isn’t a random intrusion; it’s a structured infiltration.

The news about China and these cyber warfare operations are becoming increasingly sophisticated. It’s no longer just espionage; it’s direct access to critical systems. It’s worth paying attention to how these risks evolve.
