"Asia In Brief Chinese infosec blog MXRN last week reported a data breach at a security company called Knownsec that has ties to Beijing and Chinas military. MXRN says the company leaked over 12,000 classified documents, "including information on Chinese state-owned cyber weapons, internal tools, and global target lists." The trove also apparently included evidence of Remote Access Trojans that can crack Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The Android code can reportedly extract information from popular Chinese messaging apps, and from Telegram."
"Also in the haul was a spreadsheet that lists 80 overseas targets Knownsec has successfully attacked, plus 95GB of immigration data obtained from India, 3TB of call records stolen from South Korean telecom operator LG U Plus, and 459GB of road planning data obtained from Taiwan. The blog says attackers posted some of the documents to GitHub, which quickly removed them. India tech services exports keep growing Indian tech services companies earned over $218 billion in software-related revenue in FY24/25, 6.4 percent higher than the previous year, according to an annual survey conducted by the nation's Reserve Bank."
"Published last week, the annual Survey on Computer Software and Information Technology Enabled Services Exports drew responses from 2,206 companies. The Bank sent its survey to over 7,000 organizations, but isn't too fussed that so many didn't respond, as it feels those that did participate represent over 90 percent of tech services exports. The survey also covers work done in India, meaning the bank doesn't count work done offshore by tech services giants such as Infosys, Wipro, and Tata Consulting Services."
