"Leaked Chinese Hacking Documents Reveal State Surveillance and Spyware Operations"
Chinese police are investigating a significant online leak of documents from a private security contractor, I-Soon, linked to China's top policing agency, revealing methods used for state surveillance and hacking activities targeting both Chinese and foreigners. The leaked documents detail tools used to surveil dissidents overseas, hack other nations, and promote pro-Beijing narratives on social media. The leak, considered highly impactful, includes hundreds of pages of contracts, marketing presentations, product manuals, and client and employee lists. The source of the leak is unknown, and I-Soon's website is fully offline. The leaked documents indicate that I-Soon's sponsors include the Ministry of State Security and China's military, the People's Liberation Army.
