Leaked Files Tie Chinese Cybersecurity Firm to Government Censorship hackread.com/leaked-fi…

A data leak from TopSec, a prominent Chinese cybersecurity firm, has exposed details about the company’s operations and its probable involvement in internet censorship for the Chinese government.

This was revealed by SentinelOne whose SentinelLABS threat research team analysed the leaked data including over 7,000 lines of work logs and code used for DevOps practices. The data revealed scripts connecting to Chinese government hostnames, academic institutions, and news sites, suggesting TopSec’s services extend to a wide range of organizations.

The latest allegation against a Chinese company came just a few months after the United States sanctioned two Chinese firms, Integrity Technology Group and Sichuan Silence Information Technology, for cyber attacks and cybercrime.
