Hot Take:

Looks like Uncle Sam’s got a bit of a sneak peek at China’s military doodles. Who knew foreign relations would turn into a high-stakes game of “capture the flag”? But seriously, can we all just agree that cyber espionage is the digital version of peeking over someone’s shoulder during a test? Someone needs to call the teacher.

Key Points:

  • China accuses the US of exploiting a Microsoft Exchange zero-day to spy on a military enterprise.
  • CNCERT/CC claims these cyberattacks pose a risk to China’s national security.
  • Allegations follow recent US claims of Chinese cyber-snooping.
  • US used multiple international IP addresses to mask attacks.
  • Microsoft Exchange zero-day vulnerability was a key entry point.
