Leaked files reveal Chinese firm's role in international hacking efforts

A local government in southwest China reportedly spent under $15,000 to access the private website of Vietnam's traffic police. Separately, software used for disinformation campaigns and hacking accounts on platforms like X cost around $100,000. Leaked files from a Chinese firm reveal evidence of an extensive international hacking effort. The trove of information shows that Chinese security services encourage competition among private hacking companies. Multiple foreign governments have reportedly been targeted by these hacking efforts. Additionally, intelligence and military groups from China are targeting India and other foreign countries according to various reports.
