Was joking when I say the hack was 'casual'. According to Facebook:

"This activity had the hallmarks of a well-resourced and persistent operation, while obfuscating who's behind it," (bit.ly/3lLi8wY).

'Earth Empusa' or 'Evil Eye' targeted ~500 activists, journalists and dissidents in hopes to install spying software on their devices.

Guess they want to keep tabs on them even they are out of CCP's grips? Disgusting.

#Facebook: #ChineseHackers Attempt to Breach #Uyghurs Communication Devices for #Surveillance

Facebook reported that groups of Chinese hackers tried to set up fake accounts on Facebook in order to get in contact with Uyghurs overseas. After gaining their trust, they send their victims malicious links disguised as Uyghur news sites or online stores, in an attempt to install spyware on their phones for surveillance.

The report on the hacking activities was published on March 24, 2021 in which Facebook did not directly link the incident to the Chinese government, but said that the activity "had the hallmarks of a well-resourced and persistent operation". The hacking groups involved, known in the cybersecurity industry as Earth Empusa and Evil Eye, have also been involved in other surveillance activities in the past.

The hackers mainly target Uyghur human rights activists, journalists, and dissidents from Xinjiang. Most of them currently live in Turkey, Kazakhstan, the United States, Syria, Australia and Canada.

China’s version of Uber, called #DiDi, entered the U.S. market to sell its stock shares. At first, it was exciting news for Wall Street and looked like a big investment opportunity.

But in less than 48 hours, #Beijing dropped its hammer on DiDi. It announced a #Cybersecurity review of the company, and later took down some of its software from app stores. The move sent DiDi’s stock price plummeting over 30 percent.

#FBI Raids Chinese Point-of-Sale Giant #PAX Technology

On October 26, 2021, FBI and #MI5 in the US raided the Florida offices of PAX Technology, a Chinese provider of point-of-sale devices used by millions of businesses and retailers globally. There are reports saying that PAX’s systems may have been involved in cyberattacks on U.S. and E.U. organizations.

The sources came from the payment processor, revealing that "the PAX terminals were being used both as a malware “dropper” — a repository for malicious files — and as “command-and-control” locations for staging attacks and collecting information.”

It is pointed out that “two major financial providers — one in the United States and one in the United Kingdom — had already begun pulling PAX terminals from their payment infrastructure.”

Federal investigations are under way.

Facebook takes down China-based network spreading false COVID-19 claims

//The parent company of #Facebook and #Instagram said on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, it has taken down more than 600 accounts, pages and groups connected to a Chinese influence operation spreading #COVID19 #disinformation, including an account purporting to be a fictitious Swiss biologist.

The China-based network was one of six #Meta, formerly know as Facebook, removed in November for abusing its platforms, a reminder that bad actors around the world are using social media to promote false information and harass opponents.

The China-based operation came to light after the company was alerted to an account purporting to be a Swiss biologist named Wilson Edwards (no such person exists). The account posted claims on Facebook and Twitter in July that the U.S. was pressuring World Health Organization scientists to blame China for the COVID-19 virus. The posts alleging U.S. intimidation soon appeared in Chinese state media stories.//
