Speaker 1: Listeners ting here with your hypercharged Beijing bites. Buckle up,
Speaker 1: because US China tech tensions have just gone quantum. In
Speaker 1: the past two weeks. Cyber warriors and policymakers on both
Speaker 1: sides have gone from code read to code What the
Speaker 1: heck just happened? Let's sip through the news. Last week,
Speaker 1: every major cyber agency from the US to Australia put
Speaker 1: out a panicked advisory about Chinese state sponsored hackers names
Speaker 1: like salt Typhoon pop up. These aren't pokemon. These are
Speaker 1: threat actors burrowing their way across American telecoms, government, even utilities.
Speaker 1: The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency called out campaigns
Speaker 1: targeting over two hundred organizations and warned that these apt
Speaker 1: actors are executing a slow burn. How the actor's budget
Speaker 1: from typelins costs a single size post price to support
Speaker 1: them the impact. Last year, seventy three percent of US
Speaker 1: critical infrastructure organizations reported successful intrusions with breach costs averaging
Speaker 1: five dollars and fifty six cents, and those numbers are
Speaker 1: still climbing. Water treatment plants, police systems, university servers. Nothing
Speaker 1: is sacred. This is espionage. Tailor made for twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five folks. Fresh off the policy assembly line, the Biden
Speaker 1: administration revoked validated end User ve EU status for tech
Speaker 1: giants Sansun and s k Heinex, making Korean chip operations
Speaker 1: in China look shakier than a new Linux dro on
Speaker 1: launch day. The revocation could hasten a split in the
Speaker 1: global semiconductor chain that neither Soul nor Beijing wants to see,
Speaker 1: and China not content to play Defense, is closing out
Speaker 1: its fourteenth five year plan with a wild West flourish
Speaker 1: expect to spike in AI powered fishing, zero day expoints
Speaker 1: and stealth campaigns into Q four. If you work in
Speaker 1: State IT anywhere in the US, now's the time to
Speaker 1: audit your network twice and panic later. Meanwhile, European agencies
Speaker 1: sound claxons about data transfers to China controlled territories. Czech
Speaker 1: intelligence publicly named and shamed Chinese group APT three one
Speaker 1: for attacks on their Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the
Speaker 1: National Cyber and Information Security Agency warns that the very
Speaker 1: devices wiring up European critical sectors think smart meters, EV's
Speaker 1: cloud servers could be quietly phone home tools for Beijing.
Speaker 1: Turning to high drama in hardware. A lavish Beijing military
Speaker 1: parade yesterday was like China flexing its digital and kinetic
Speaker 1: muscles for the world to see. With President Shijin Ping
Speaker 1: declaring China will not be bullied and that it is
Speaker 1: rejuvenating the nation, the message is not just for the
Speaker 1: domestic crowd, but straight at Washington's strategic planners. Former China
Speaker 1: correspondence remind us that the real signal is Beijing's intent
Speaker 1: push the world towards a tech order less centered on
Speaker 1: the US more integrated with well Beijing on the industry front.
Speaker 1: Despite Ali Baba's rally wowing markets, global analysts like Investment
Speaker 1: Week point out that China remains a distant second to
Speaker 1: the US in AI and especially semiconductor prowess. The US
Speaker 1: holds the upper hand in critical chip manufacturing capabilities and
Speaker 1: the weaponization of chip supply chains. Sanctions restrictions, the works
Speaker 1: remains the favorite tool on both sides. Strategically, it's clear
Speaker 1: both countries are preparing the ground for a drawn out
Speaker 1: tech cold war. Experts forecast more targeted restrictions, more state
Speaker 1: aligned cyber intramusions, and if geopolitical tensions spike over Taiwan
Speaker 1: or the South China Sea. Expect hackers to play kingmakers,
Speaker 1: not mere thieves. That's your whirlwind, bite sized scoop. Thank
