Chinese state-sponsored hackers are increasingly using networks of compromised devices, known as botnets, to carry out cyberattacks. This approach allows them to conduct operations with minimal costs and risks, while maintaining plausible deniability. The use of botnets amplifies their capabilities, enabling them to launch large-scale attacks against various targets without the need for extensive resources. This trend poses significant risks to organizations worldwide, as it complicates detection and response efforts. Companies and users should be vigilant about securing their devices to prevent them from being hijacked for these malicious purposes.
