Ep. 55 - The 'Typhoon' Hack: How China Hid Inside Your Home Router

Your home router isn’t just sitting there. It might already be part of a global cyberattack.

In Part 2 of our deep dive into Chinese cyber operations, Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley unpack the “Typhoon” threat groups—Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, and Flax Typhoon—and how they’re quietly reshaping modern cyber warfare.

This isn’t about stealing data. It’s about staying hidden, pre-positioning, and being ready to strike.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How hackers are living inside networks for years without detection
• What “living off the land” really means—and why security tools miss it
• How compromised home routers became a global proxy network
• Why telecom systems—and even lawful surveillance tools—were targeted
• The real strategy behind China’s cyber operations: preparing for future conflict

From power grids to personal devices, this episode reveals how the battlefield has already expanded—and why most organizations still aren’t ready.
