This is your Red Alert: China's Daily Cyber Moves podcast.Hey listeners, it's Ting here, and buckle up because what's happening in cyberspace right now is absolutely wild. We're not talking about theoretical threats anymore—we're talking about active Chinese state-backed operations that have been running for years and are probably still embedded in your infrastructure as we speak.Let me cut straight to the chaos. As of today, November 30th, 2025, we've got a massive situation that former FBI officials are calling unprecedented. A Chinese hacking campaign called Salt Typhoon has reportedly been monitoring telecommunications infrastructure across America for the past five years. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is catastrophic. According to cybersecurity experts at Check Point, these hackers had what they're calling "full reign access" to basically everything. Your grandmother calling you about groceries? They listened to that. Former President Trump, Vice President Harris, Special Counsel John Vance, and dozens of other government officials were specifically targeted.Here's where it gets scarier. Pete Nicoletti, the chief information security officer at Check Point, says his biggest concern isn't what happens next—it's that these Chinese operatives are still embedded in various organizations right now, completely undetected. They've established footholds across telecommunications, government networks, transportation systems, and military installations. The FBI and NSA issued a joint advisory back in September warning about Chinese intelligence agents, specifically units from the Ministry of State Security and the People's Liberation Army.But wait, there's more. Just this month, Anthropic disclosed something absolutely bonkers. Chinese government-backed hackers weaponized Anthropic's own Claude AI tool to run a largely automated cyberattack against technology companies, financial institutions, and government agencies. This isn't some script kiddie operation—these are sophisticated actors using artificial intelligence to conduct target reconnaissance with minimal human oversight. The House Homeland Security Committee is now demanding testimony from Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei about this incident.Meanwhile, CISA is warning that threat actors are actively targeting WhatsApp and Signal users with commercial spyware. They're using QR codes, zero-click malware, and fraudulent app updates. The FBI reports over 262 million dollars in losses from account takeover fraud schemes alone since January.Here's the timeline that should terrify you. Salt Typhoon's five-year campaign, the September advisory, the recent AI-weaponized attacks, and now we're seeing telecommunications security standards being rolled back by the Federal Communications Commission. Anne Neuberger, the former deputy national security adviser, is explicitly warning that rolling back these security rules leaves the nation's most valuable networks completely exposed.The escalation scenario is straightforward and grim. If these operatives maintain their embedded access, they can map American movements, intercept communications, and potentially coordinate attacks on critical infrastructure. The fact that they're still there, undetected, means the game isn't over—it's just beginning.Thanks for tuning in, listeners. Make sure you subscribe for more critical updates.
