A new report revealed a Chinese hacking campaign that targeted Muslims beginning as early as 2013 and continues to this day. It shows the lengths to which China’s minders were determined to follow Uighurs as they fled China for as many as 15 countries. https://t.co/mh41EtFiPf

From another discontented borderland...new research shows long before Xinjiang was covered in cameras, Chinese hackers built huge amounts of malware targeting Uighurs. Beginning in 2015, the campaign shows hacking was an early cornerstone of surveillance. https://t.co/ri9OPgGBvb

Chinese government hackers have been installing eight types of malware on the phones of Uighur Muslims going back at least to 2013. Now Beijing's surveillance state also collects Uighur blood samples, voice prints, facial scans and other personal data.https://t.co/RAHJ9Y9ogK pic.twitter.com/Ms6yj8rFPP

“The tools the hackers assembled hid in special keyboards used by Uighurs and disguised themselves as commonly used apps in third-party websites. Some could remotely turn on a phone’s microphone, record calls or export photos, phone locations and conversations on chat apps.” https://t.co/ED7EVzk72C
