CrowdStrike Reports 58% of Cyberattacks Linked to China Entities

CrowdStrike reported that over 58% of state-sponsored targeted cyberattacks aimed at tech companies, particularly their AI assets, originated from China-based entities. This surge in espionage activities is seen as an effort by China to narrow the technological gap with the U.S. amid restrictions on AI training chip access. The analysis tracked cyber events over the 12 months leading up to March 31. Additionally, U.S. AI firms like Anthropic and OpenAI noted incidents of competitive intelligence extraction by Chinese companies. This trend emphasizes the ongoing cybersecurity threat landscape affecting U.S. tech firms.
