Chinese state-sponsored hackers, linked to the Silk Typhoon group, are utilizing advanced adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) techniques to target diplomats by hijacking web traffic and redirecting users to malware-serving sites. This method effectively bypasses traditional defenses, aiming to compromise sensitive communications and exfiltrate information, particularly from government and military targets. The incident underscores the growing sophistication of Chinese cyber operations, necessitating enhanced security measures like secure browsing and traffic inspection tools. This highlights the urgent need for countries, including India, to bolster their cyber defenses to protect against such espionage activities and safeguard national security.
