Chinese Hackers Targeting Ukraine Says Google

Posted in Commentary with tags , on March 20, 2022 by itnerd

Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) says that China has gotten involved in the Russia/Ukraine war by having its hackers target Ukraine. Google TAG Security Engineer Billy Leonard posted this to Twitter:

In case you’re wondering who Intrusion Truth are, they are a secretive group known for its work on exposing suspected Chinese hacking operations. So if they’re saying something that Google is confirming, then it’s pretty much fact.

This was backed up by Shane Huntley who runs Google’s Threat Analysis Group:

I wonder what the US Government thinks of these reports as US President Joe Biden has recently warned Chinese President Xi Jinping not to get involved in the Russian/Ukraine war. He was talking about weapons and the like. But maybe he should add this to the list as clearly China isn’t neutral when it comes to this war.
