Spyware-as-a-Service: What the i-Soon files reveal about China’s targeting of the Tibetan diaspora
In February 2024 a leak of documents from i-Soon, a Chinese cybersecurity firm tied to the nation’s security apparatus, gave new evidence of People’s Republic of China’s (China or PRC) large-scale and shadowy cyber espionage activities. The data dump provides valuable insight into the priorities of the Party state in hiring hackers to target peripheral communities, including the Tibetan exile administration in Dharamsala, Uyghurs in the diaspora, pro-democracy advocates in Hong Kong, as well as official entities in neighbouring countries such as the Mongolian police, and India’s customs agency.
