Rethinking the External Attack Surface: Managing the Growing Risk of Open Cyber-Physical Data

China-aligned operational relay box infrastructure is harvesting open sensor data at scale, with most defenders lacking visibility into these operations. A report examines how these relay boxes exploit publicly accessible telemetry for data collection and related purposes.

Why it matters: Organizations operating industrial control systems and cyber-physical infrastructure face exposure to Chinese state-aligned reconnaissance through unprotected sensor data; defenders should audit and restrict external access to telemetry endpoints.
