The Illicit Chinese "Pantsless Data" Trade
Uncovering Chinese-language actor TTPs for data access, acquisition, and exfiltration.
Historically overshadowed by cybercrime in Western countries and Russia, the Chinese cybercrime ecosystem is increasingly targeting international people and businesses.
As Chinese threat actors’ cyber-capabilities continue to grow, it’s important to understand how they operate, and how their exploitation methods contribute to their ability to consistently leak and disseminate large amounts of data.
In this webinar, SpyCloud Labs’ researchers Ashley Allocca and Kyla Cardona share recent findings on Chinese cybercriminal activity and cover:
- More about Chinese cybercriminals’ targets, methods of exfiltration, and other TTPs.
- Slang terms and keywords that can help identify and categorize leaked data.
- Examples of data leaks, and other red flags to be on the lookout for.
