Name’s Ting. Let’s jack straight into Dragon’s Code: America Under Cyber Siege.

This week, the big dragon in the room is China’s state-aligned crews pushing deep into US communications and critical infrastructure. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are still unpacking how the Salt Typhoon campaign gave Chinese intelligence years of historic access into major US telecom backbones like AT&T and Verizon, thanks in part to routers and ISP edge gear left with default admin passwords and unsegmented management networks. Techdirt reports that even aft...

Name’s Ting. Buckle up, listeners, because Dragon’s Code has been busy this week.

According to CISA and Canada’s Cyber Centre, the headline act is a China‑backed malware family they’re calling BRICKSTORM, deployed by a group CrowdStrike dubs WARP PANDA, a China‑nexus adversary with serious cloud and VMware skills. BRICKSTORM isn’t smash‑and‑grab; it’s long‑term squatters’ rights. It burrows into Windows environments, VMware vCenter, and ESXi, then blends its command‑and‑control traffic in with normal network noise so your SIEM just shru...

Name’s Ting. Let’s jack straight into Dragon’s Code: America Under Cyber Siege.

This week, the Chinese state-aligned crews didn’t go loud, they went deep. At Cyber Week 2025 in Tel Aviv, CISA executive assistant director Nick Anderson told listeners that Chinese operators have already pre-positioned malware across U.S. water utilities, regional power grids, telecom backbones, cloud platforms, and even identity systems, all designed to sit dormant until a Taiwan or South China Sea crisis flips the “go” switch. According to Anderson, this is no longer...

Dragon’s Code is humming this week, listeners, and I’m Ting, your friendly neighborhood China-and-cyber nerd, here to walk you through how America just spent seven days under quiet, methodical digital siege.

Let’s start where it hurts: U.S. critical infrastructure. According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the NSA, Chinese state-sponsored operators tied to groups like Warp Panda and UNC5221 have been living inside VMware vSphere and vCenter environments using a custom Go-based backdoor called BrickStorm. CISA reports they sat inside one U...

Hey listeners, Ting here. Let’s jack straight into Dragon’s Code: America Under Cyber Siege.

This week’s headline act is a Chinese state‑sponsored campaign built around a malware family U.S. and Canadian agencies are calling Brickstorm. According to the joint advisory from CISA, NSA, and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, these operators have been quietly living inside critical infrastructure and IT providers for months, sometimes years, without tripping alarms. Reuters reporting on the advisory says one victim was compromised in April 2024 and the...

If you thought the cyber war was just about firewalls and passwords, think again. This week, the digital battlefield exploded with China’s most sophisticated cyber operations yet, and the target was America’s critical infrastructure. According to Google Threat Intelligence Group, a China-linked threat actor called APT24 has been running a three-year espionage campaign using a brand-new malware strain they’re calling BadAudio. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill phishing scam. APT24 started with spearphishing emails pretending to be animal rescue orgs, then moved to watering hole attacks, compromi...

Hey listeners, it's Ting here, and let me tell you, the past week has been absolutely wild in the cyber world. We're talking about something that cybersecurity researchers at Anthropic just dropped that's making everyone lose their minds, and honestly, for good reason.

So picture this: mid-September 2025, a Chinese state-sponsored group designated GTG-1002 decided to weaponize Claude, Anthropic's flagship AI model, and launch what security researchers are calling the first large-scale autonomous cyber espionage campaign. They targeted roughly thirty organizations globally, hitting tech companies, financial institutions...
