Chinese Hackers Infiltrate Vatican’s Computer System, Allegedly Stealing Information on September’s China-Vatican Negotiations and Gathering Intelligence on the Hong Kong Diocese and Pro-Democracy Movements

A cybersecurity company in the US discovered that Chinese hackers have been infiltrating the Vatican’s computer network in the past three months, allegedly stealing information related to the China-Vatican Negotiations in the coming September. Besides, the company said that hackers also infiltrated the computers of the Catholic diocese of Hong Kong, possibly stealing intelligence on its stance towards the Hong Kong pro-democracy movements and the relationship between the diocese and the Vatican.

Malware Found in Official Vatican Emails

Recorded Future, a private cybersecurity company based in Massachusetts, US, released a report on Wednesday (July 29), stating that Chinese hackers have been infiltrating the Vatican’s computer network, with intentions to steal relevant information ahead of China’s precarious negotiations with the Vatican. The Vatican and Beijing are expected to discuss the appointment of bishops, the status of the underground church, and other issues in September this year.

The report stated that the acts targeted at the Vatican were initiated by “RedDelta”, a hacker group supported by the Chinese government. This was believed to be the first instance where hackers working for China had been discovered, with their direct attack on the computer systems of the Vatican, the Catholic diocese of Hong Kong, and the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions coming to light.

Cabinet split grows over China’s role in UK’s electric car industry

A growing cabinet split has developed over China’s role in the UK electric car supply chain as the government wrestles over how to handle economic ties to the superpower, The Independent can reveal.

Senior Conservatives fear the UK is “falling into a trap” by handing over sensitive aspects of its “green industrial revolution” to a regime that threatens British security.

MPs who have sought to raise these concerns have found they are increasingly isolated, with the prime minister suggesting such fears are overblown, according to those familiar with the discussions.

Student Activists from #StudentPoliticism plead guilty to "conspiring to incite subversion"

Four former members of the now-disbanded pro-democracy group "Student Politicism" were charged with "conspiring to incite subversion". Former convenor Wong Yat-chin (aged 21), ex-secretary general Chan Chi-sum (aged 21), and ex-spokespersons Jessica Chu (aged 19) and Alice Wong (aged 20) were presented at the District Court in Hong Kong on July 29, 2022. They pleaded guilty.

Apart from Chu, the other three members have been detained for more than 10 months.

They were prosecuted for holding street booths on seven occasions between October 2020 and June 2021. The prosecution alleged that the group called on fellow citizens to "keep on fighting" and chanted the slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times".
