BPFdoor in Telecom Networks: Sleeper Cells in the backbone | Rapid 7 Labs
#China #Network #Cellular #BPFdoor #RedMenshen
A months-long investigation by Rapid7 Labs has uncovered evidence of an advanced China-nexus threat actor, Red Menshen, placing some of the stealthiest digital sleeper cells the team has ever seen in telecommunications networks. The goal of these campaigns is to carry out high-level espionage, including against government networks.
Telecommunications networks are the central nervous system of the digital world. They carry government communications, coordinate critical industries, and underpin the digital identities of billions of people. When these networks are compromised, the consequences extend far beyond a single provider or region. That level of access is, and should be, a national concern as it compromises not just one company or organization, but the communications of entire populations.#China #Network #Cellular #BPFdoor #RedMenshen
