Chinese hackers target Russian agencies for war secrets: Report
The Times of IndiaFriday, June 20, 2025 at 3:33:37 AM
Despite China and Russia's so-called "no-limits" partnership, cybersecurity experts report that Chinese state-linked hackers have been quietly targeting Russian military and government networks since the Ukraine war began. Their goal? To scoop up classified war-related intelligence. A leaked Russian security document even hints at Moscow’s growing distrust, labeling China as a potential threat—suggesting their alliance might be shakier than it appears.
Editor’s Note: On the surface, China and Russia are tight allies, but this report peels back the curtain on some serious behind-the-scenes espionage. It’s a reminder that in geopolitics, even "friends" spy on each other—and that cyber warfare is now a key battleground for secrets, especially during conflicts like Ukraine. For Russia, the bigger worry might not just be the West, but also its so-called partner.
