Chinese police are investigating an unauthorized and highly unusual online dump of documents from a private security contractor linked to the nation’s top policing agency and other parts of its government — a trove that catalogs apparent hacking activity and tools to spy on both Chinese and foreigners.
Among the apparent targets of tools provided by the impacted company, I-Soon: ethnicities and dissidents in parts of China that have seen significant anti-government protests, such as Hong Kong or the heavily Muslim region of Xinjiang in China’s far west.
The dump of scores of documents late last week and subsequent investigation were confirmed by two employees of I-Soon, known as Anxun in Mandarin, which has ties to the powerful Ministry of Public Security. The dump, which analysts consider highly significant even if it does not reveal any especially novel or potent tools, includes hundreds of pages of contracts, marketing presentations, product manuals, and client and employee lists.
You are right, but also a lot of people here blindly support what the US is doing while shitting on countries like China, middle east and some south Asian countries (specifically about immigrants from there), ig I have been riding waves of emotions lately just seeing peoples blind support for the US, even if not directly done (instead by shooting down any criticism of the US)
You are right about me being off-topic though, I think this entire discussion doesn’t belong here, it is neither about digital privacy nor about China
