Srsly Risky Biz: China's botnets are worth disrupting
China has shifted toward contracting private companies to build botnets for cyberespionage operations, though recent US disruption efforts have targeted these networks. The Qilin ransomware group reportedly stole data from the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) lawful intercept system. US water sector security improvements require more comprehensive approaches beyond free tools.
Why it matters: Practitioners managing critical infrastructure and federal networks must understand China's persistent botnet tactics and the ATF breach exposes gaps in communications security; water utility operators need actionable security strategies beyond basic tools.
