CISA Publish Hunting and Mitigation Guide to Defend Networks from Chinese State-Sponsored Actors

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), alongside the NSA, FBI, and a broad coalition of international partners, has released a comprehensive cybersecurity advisory detailing a widespread espionage campaign by People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored actors targeting critical networks worldwide.

Techniques include modifying access control lists, capturing network traffic to steal credentials, and using on-box Linux containers like Cisco’s Guest Shell to hide their tools and activities from standard monitoring.
