China Nexus Covert Networks Built From Compromised Edge Devices
CISA and NCSC warned that China nexus actors are increasingly using botnet style covert networks made up of compromised routers and edge devices for reconnaissance, delivery, command and control, and exfiltration. The advisory highlights a low cost and deniable infrastructure model that can be reshaped quickly, reducing the value of static blocking alone.
