Cybersecurity research firm SentinelOne has identified more than 10 patents held by companies that are associated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-backed hacking campaign known as Hafnium, or Silk Typhoon, revealing “highly intrusive forensics and data collection technologies.”

“These technologies offer strong, often previously unreported offensive capabilities, from acquisition of encrypted endpoint data, mobile forensics, to collecting traffic from network devices,” the researchers wrote in a July 30 report.
