China-Nexus 'LapDogs' Campaign Infects SOHO Devices for Cyber-Espionage

The China-Nexus 'LapDogs' campaign has infected SOHO devices in the United States and Southeast Asia to create an operational relay network (ORB) used as cyber-espionage infrastructure. The compromised devices serve as relays for cyber-espionage operations, allowing attackers to mask their activities and bypass security measures. The main impact is the use of these devices for surveillance and espionage activities, compromising the security of networks and data of affected users.
