These observations are worth a footstomp as China’s forays back into economic espionage through cyber has been less publicly quantified as of recent. The AI race is more than models: natural resources, supply-chains, compute, ability to sell, pricing, and, of course, intellectual property. Miniscule developments move markets in dramatic ways, shift how we use the tech, and sets the stage for long-term competitive advantage.
And cyberespionage plays a significant role in it. Every month or so, our APT research team sees China-aligned hackers groups target organizations active in the semiconductor industry (especially in Taiwan). And you can tell it is a persistent, well-targeted, cross-group effort.
Registration and CFP for 🆘VOLUME II is officially OPEN! On October 22, 2026, we return to Brussels to showcase a day of community and discussions on the latest developments in state-sponsored operations and the actors & institutions that champion them.
@HostileSpectrum @vxdb Camden, New Jersey to be precise
@greglesnewich Quit it, ideas to retire on shouldn't be tweeted.
solorider is effectively a proof-of-concept still in beta but it's orchestration is robust and ready to meet your vertical classification needs. Fork it, submit an issue, and take it for a test drive. If you're a @rationaledge user, solorider is part of the new Supply Chain Analysis tool: rationaledge.io
Welcome to Supply-Chain Summer ☀️ With ongoing attacks against CI/CD spilling over to the open-source ecosystem, I've put together a light and extensible tool to help defense & intel teams profile packages. Meet solorider, built for pipelines & you: medium.com/@matonis/solor…

‼️At the end of last year, there was a series of coordinated attacks in Polish cyberspace. 📌Today, our team is publishing a report describing the technical analysis of these events. We show the scheme of operation and the tools used by the attackers. ➡️cert.pl/uploads/docs/C…
Germany will strike back against cyberattackers, including abroad, enabling countermeasures with a low threshold for activation. A new defense center against hybrid threats will consolidate intelligence along with defense strategies. It is being prepared by the domestic intelligence agency and expected to begin operations this year. The government will implement a "turning point for intelligence services," having been too dependent on foreign partners for information. Intelligence services will receive new powers to gather information independently and act operationally. Germany will also restrict public access to sensitive infrastructure data. A new framework law will reverse the current transparency principle, with full transparency applying only in special cases. This follows the Berlin power grid attack, which demonstrated how vulnerable critical infrastructure remains. sueddeutsche.de/projekte/artik…
