    CANBERRA, July 31 (Xinhua) — For the Australian federal government, recognizing Palestine is a matter of “when, not if,” Treasurer Jim Chalmers told ABC on Thursday.

    “There are still a number of obstacles to recognizing a Palestinian state. For example, the treatment of hostages, their release, ensuring that Hamas plays absolutely no role,” Chalmers said.

    He made the statement shortly before Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced his country’s intention to recognize Palestinian statehood at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in September.

    On Tuesday, foreign ministers from 15 countries, including Australia and Canada, issued a joint statement reaffirming their “unwavering commitment” to a two-state solution for Palestine.

    Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is under pressure from his fellow party members to recognize Palestinian statehood, ABC reported Thursday. –0–

  • Death toll rises in China’s north following extreme rain, state media says

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Extreme weather killed at least eight people in the city of Chengde just outside the Chinese capital Beijing, with 18 still unaccounted for, as heavy rainfall pounded the hilly region over the past week.

    The deaths occurred in villages within the Xinglong area of Chengde in Hebei province, state-run Xinhua reported late on Wednesday citing local authorities, without specifying when or how the people died.

    Work is still underway to locate those missing, Xinhua said.

    Set against mountainous terrain, Chengde was known as a resort town for Qing dynasty emperors to escape Beijing’s heat in the summer centuries ago.

    Extreme rains that began last Wednesday have lashed Beijing and surrounding regions, pouring a year’s worth of rain in less than a week in some areas and killing at least 30 in the outskirts of the capital. Twenty eight of those deaths occurred in hilly Miyun district.

    The deaths in Chengde occurred in villages which border Miyun and sit about 25 km (16 miles) away from the Miyun reservoir, the largest in China’s north.

    The reservoir saw record-breaking inflow and outflow of water, and overall water level and capacity during this round of rainfall which devastated nearby towns.

    At its peak on Sunday, up to 6,550 cubic metres of water – about 2.5 Olympic-sized pools – flooded into the reservoir every second, pushing its capacity to a record high of 3.63 billion cubic metres since it was built in 1960.

    The villages where eight have died sit on higher elevations in a valley, upstream of the Miyun reservoir.

    In another village to the north of the reservoir, a landslide on Monday killed eight people while four remained missing.

    Extreme rainfall and severe flooding, which meteorologists link to climate change, increasingly pose major challenges for Chinese policymakers, with officials partially attributing a slowdown in factory activities to heavy rains and flooding.

  • MIL-OSI China: ‘The Yellow River’ dance epic shines at Xinjiang Intl Dance Festival

    Dance epic “The Yellow River,” directed by renowned Chinese artist Zhang Jigang and created by Shanxi Song and Dance Theatre, was staged at the 7th China Xinjiang International Dance Festival on July 29-30. Marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the work utilizes the Yellow River as its central image, interpreting the unyielding Chinese national spirit through a unique artistic language.

    “The Yellow River” unfolds the spiritual scroll of the Chinese nation in three acts: The first act reproduces the dawn of civilization with primitive and unrestrained dance moves; the second act focuses on the suffering and struggles during the war against Japanese aggression; and the third act outlines the spirit of forging-ahead in the new era with red silk ribbon dancing.

    Director Zhang Jigang emphasized that through chapters such as “The Indignation of the Yellow River” and “Defend the Yellow River,” the work condenses memories of the war into a spiritual declaration that “the Chinese nation cannot be humiliated.”

    As a dance epic, “The Yellow River” breaks the boundaries of traditional dance with its subversive stage language. The performers crawl in mud, fight in water currents and perform difficult lifts on a suspended cloth — these unique movements becoming carriers for interpreting the spirit of the Yellow River.

    Zhang also explained that dancing on the cloth is a metaphor for the resilience of the Chinese nation, and was designed to let the audience feel the weight of history while evoking a sense of awe.

    The fusion of music and dance further highlighted the epic temperament. The passion of the piano concerto interwove with the profoundness of the symphony, forming a perfect dialogue between the “musical” and the “dancing” Yellow River.

    Yang Qian, the lead actress who plays the personification of the Yellow River, mentioned that the biggest difference between a dance epic and a traditional dance drama lies in “striking the heart with a five- or six-minute chapter.”

    Talking about her role, Yang said, “The Yellow River is not a specific river, but a microcosm of thousands of Chinese mothers — having the tenderness of water and the tenacity of the loess land.” In the chapter “The Lullaby of the Yellow River,” she interpreted the river’s nurturing power as the cradle of Chinese civilization with the body language of “taking the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed.”

    As a hub on the ancient Silk Road, Xinjiang has always been a fertile ground for the integration of diverse cultures. As Zhang explained, “The simple beauty of Xinjiang forms a wonderful echo with the profound civilization carried by the Yellow River.” At the 7th China Xinjiang International Dance Festival, “The Yellow River” and the dance arts of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang shone together, jointly interpreting the diversity and unity of Chinese culture.

    Zhang has a deep affection for Xinjiang, recalling how he felt “a peaceful soul as pure as water” when visiting the region’s Sayram Lake. In the dance epic, the concept of simplifying plots, intensifying emotions, downplaying regional traits and enhancing international appeal has elevated the Yellow River from a mere river to a symbol of the world’s great river civilizations.

    By staging the work in Urumqi, the performance served as both a review of the national spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression 80 years ago and a tribute to the present-day cultural integration.

    Myanmar’s National Defense and Security Council (NDSC) on Thursday formed a new union government and State Security and Peace Commission, the state-owned Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV) reported.

    The union government is led by U Nyo Saw as prime minister, and the State Security and Peace Commission is chaired by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the report said.

    The NDSC also decided to annul the order transferring the sovereign power to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services, according to the report.

    Zaw Min Tun, a spokesperson of Myanmar’s State Administration Council, said on Thursday the NDSC had decided to end the state of emergency to hold general elections.

    In February 2021, Myanmar’s then-Acting President U Myint Swe declared a one-year state of emergency and transferred sovereign power to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services. The office of the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services subsequently formed the State Administration Council, with Min Aung Hlaing as its chairman. The NDSC has made multiple six-month extensions until July 31 this year.

    Cambodia on Thursday called on Thailand to release 20 Cambodian soldiers that it captured after a ceasefire took effect, said a Cambodian defense spokesperson.

    Speaking in a press briefing, Cambodian Defense Ministry’s Undersecretary of State and Spokesperson, Lieutenant General Maly Socheata, said the Thai soldiers took 21 Cambodian soldiers under control on July 29 at 7:30 a.m. local time.

    “So far, we have received one dead soldier,” she said. “We call on Thai side to send all 20 military personnel back to Cambodia as soon as possible.”

    Socheata said Cambodia, with the mediation from Malaysia, the current chair of ASEAN, is negotiating with Thailand on this issue.

    The Thai army said on Thursday that the detained Cambodian soldiers would be repatriated after legal procedure.

    The Thai army said the Cambodian soldiers are being handled in accordance with international law and that they will be sent back once legal procedures are completed.

    On July 24, armed clashes erupted between Cambodian and Thai soldiers in border areas. The two countries agreed on an immediate and unconditional ceasefire on Monday afternoon, taking effect at midnight on Monday.

  • At least 60 dead in north China following extreme rain, authorities say

    Extreme weather killed at least 60 people in northern China over the past week, with 31 deaths in an elderly care home in Beijing’s hilly Miyun district in one of the deadliest floods to have hit the Chinese capital in years.

    In Beijing, 44 people were killed and nine were missing as of midday Thursday, deputy mayor of Beijing, Xia Linmao, said at a press conference.

    Heavy rains began a week ago and peaked around Beijing and surrounding provinces on Monday, with Miyun experiencing rainfall of up to 573.5 mm (22.6 inches) – levels local media described as “extremely destructive.” The average annual rainfall in Beijing is around 600 mm.

    In the nearby province of Hebei, 16 people died as a result of the intense rainfall, authorities said.

    At least eight were killed in the city of Chengde just outside Beijing, with 18 unaccounted for.

    The deaths occurred in villages within the Xinglong area of Chengde in Hebei province, state-run Xinhua reported late on Wednesday citing local authorities, without specifying when or how the people died.

    The deaths in Chengde occurred in villages which border Beijing’s Miyun about 25 km (16 miles) from the Miyun reservoir, the largest in China’s north.

    The reservoir saw record-breaking overall water levels and capacity during the rains which devastated nearby towns.

    At its peak on Sunday, up to 6,550 cubic metres of water – about 2.5 Olympic-sized pools’ worth – flooded into the reservoir every second.

    In another Hebei village north of the reservoir, a landslide on Monday killed eight people, with four missing.

    Extreme rainfall and severe flooding, which meteorologists link to climate change, pose major challenges for Chinese policymakers, with officials partially attributing a slowdown in factory activity to such events.

    BEIJING, July 31 (Xinhua) — The number of people crossing the Chinese border at the Tianshan International Airport checkpoint in Urumqi, capital of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, totaled 449,900 in the first half of 2025, up 63.58 percent year-on-year, the Xinjiang Daily newspaper reported, citing data from the airport administration.

    In addition, during the same period, 43 thousand tons of cargo were imported and exported through Tianshan Airport, which is 465 percent more than during the same period last year.

    In the first six months of this year, the checkpoint handled 3,575 inbound and outbound passenger flights, up 51 percent from a year earlier. The airport currently operates 32 international passenger routes, connecting Urumqi with 27 cities in 19 countries.

    From January to June this year, airport customs officers processed 2,549 incoming and outgoing cargo flights, up 620 percent year-on-year. The total value of imported and exported goods passed through the airport checkpoint increased by 221.4 percent year-on-year.

    BEIJING, July 31 (Xinhua) — Beijing is stepping up efforts to restore power, clear roads and deliver essential supplies to residents displaced by flash floods and landslides caused by some of the most intense rainfall in the capital’s mountainous suburbs.

    In Miyun District, one of the hardest-hit areas of the Chinese capital, a temporary supply center in the village of Xizhuangzi was bustling with activity as of the morning of July 30, with supplies of bottled water, instant noodles, sausages and canned eggs ready to be shipped out.

    More than 60 tons of relief supplies were distributed across Miyun District on July 28 and 29, and four helicopters were deployed on the morning of July 30 to further deliver relief supplies. Repair crews were also dispatched to restore damaged communication and power lines, according to local authorities.

    As of midnight on July 28, 30 people had been confirmed dead in Beijing, including 28 in Miyun District and two in Yanqing District. Authorities said the Miyun Reservoir had recorded its highest inflow, highest water level and fastest outflow since it was built in 1959.

    In Yanqing, more than 4,200 people were evacuated. Some 488 rescue teams with a total of more than 8,300 personnel were dispatched to provide emergency assistance. Communications were restored to all previously cut-off villages, while damaged roads were cleared and basic utilities such as electricity were restored.

    Taotiaogou, a remote village in Yanqing, was the hardest hit. After more than 48 hours of rescue work, its 49 residents were gradually brought to safety.

    “I have never seen such a powerful flood in my life,” said 89-year-old Zhai Cheng’an, recalling how his home was quickly inundated by torrents of dirty water.

    Zhai Yonghui, deputy secretary of the Taotiaogou village party branch, said the downpour intensified at 10:20 p.m. on July 26, breaking local rainfall records. Yanqing County plans to help residents of the devastated village start new lives elsewhere.

    “The waters will recede and we will have our homes again. We believe in that,” he added.

    As part of ongoing restoration work, train services on the Beijing-Baotou high-speed railway will resume on Thursday after being suspended due to heavy rains in Beijing and Hebei province earlier this week, China Railway Hohhot Group Co., Ltd. said.

    Heavy rains also hit other parts of northern China.

    In Hebei province, eight people were confirmed dead and 18 were missing in Xinglong County, while eight people were killed after a rain-triggered landslide hit a village in Luanping County. Ten people were confirmed dead in Shanxi province after a mid-size bus carrying 14 passengers went missing on the morning of July 27 amid days of heavy rainfall. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Chinese border town becomes key hub for importing Russian Kamchatka crabs

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    BEIJING, July 31 (Xinhua) — Did you know that out of five Russian Kamchatka crabs eaten by Chinese, four came from the border town of Hunchun, (Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Northeast China’s Jilin Province), which is not actually a coastal town?

    At the King Crab Exhibition Hall located in the Northeast Asia Cross-Border E-Commerce Industrial Park in Hunchun, hundreds of blue and red king crabs from the Bering Strait live comfortably in a huge pool.

    The cool air in the exhibition hall mixes with the faint salty taste of sea water. It turns out that the pool is filled with sea water from the “native land” of king crabs, and its temperature is maintained at about 2 degrees Celsius.

    “The king crabs, which cost more than 320 yuan (US$44.5) per kilogram, were transported to China using original transport and water environment to ensure their longer life,” said Cui Ling, an employee of Hunchun Shengjin International Trade Co., Ltd., adding that July to August is the busiest time of the year. On average, up to 150 king crabs are sold per day through online and offline sales. These king crabs are shipped from here and delivered across the country within two weeks. In many regions, customers who order this seafood delicacy in the morning receive it the next day.

    Why hasn’t the coastal city of Hunchun become the key hub for importing Russian Kamchatka crabs?

    Previously, Kamchatka crabs imported from Russia to China had to be transported through the Republic of Korea and Japan, which led to higher costs and a deterioration in the quality of king crabs.

    After Hunchun Port was approved as a specialized port for importing chilled seafood and edible aquatic animals, this “golden corridor” for importing king crabs into China was opened. In addition, the Kamchatka-Zarubino-Hunchun route made the transportation of aquatic products between China and Russia more stable and smooth.

    To ensure the freshness of imported seafood, Hunchun Customs has opened a “green channel” to provide inspection and release services by appointment all year round and around the clock, speeding up customs clearance.

    “In 2024, about 1.5 million pieces of king crab worth 3.31 billion yuan were imported into China through Hunchun Port, accounting for more than 80 percent of the country’s total market,” said Sun Jufeng, head of the Hunchun Port Management Service Center.

    According to him, in recent years the efficiency of customs clearance has been constantly improving. If the driver registers in advance, the passage through the checkpoint can be completed in a matter of minutes.

    Let us recall that last year, construction of a new terminal began in Hunchun on the territory of the checkpoint in order to meet the increasing volumes of cargo flow between China and Russia. The new terminal with a design capacity of 2 million tons will be put into operation during this year, and then the volume of transportation through the Hunchun checkpoint will increase more than fourfold.

    In recent years, Chinese consumers’ interest in Russian Kamchatka crabs has grown rapidly. According to the General Administration of Customs of China, the total value of China’s imports of live, fresh and frozen crabs from Russia exceeded US$1.14 billion last year, up 16.7 percent from the previous year. -0-

    BEIJING, July 31 (Xinhua) — The two sides had a frank, in-depth and constructive exchange of views on major topics of common interest during the latest round of China-U.S. economic and trade talks in Stockholm from Monday to Tuesday, sending a clear signal that the world’s two largest economies remain committed to dialogue, resolving differences and strengthening global stability.

    Based on the consensus reached during the talks, the parties will continue to promote a 90-day extension of the pause in the 24 percent mirror tariffs of the US side and the countermeasures of the Chinese side.

    The progress achieved in the talks once again demonstrates that as long as both sides follow the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and adhere to the principle of equal dialogue and consultation, they can effectively resolve differences, enhance mutual trust and push bilateral economic and trade relations in a healthy, stable and sustainable direction.

    During the talks, the Chinese side emphasized that the essence of Chinese-American trade and economic relations is mutual benefit. China and the United States benefit from cooperation and lose from confrontation. The American side also stated that stable trade and economic relations between Washington and Beijing are of great importance for the economies of both countries and the world as a whole.

    This shared awareness has become a key foundation for both sides to come together, engage in constructive dialogue and make tangible progress.

    For decades, the two largest economies have been deeply integrated, with broad common interests and enormous potential for cooperation in trade and economic matters. Such strong economic complementarity cannot be easily destroyed by any artificial tariff barriers.

    China approaches the consultations with 100 percent sincerity, firmly adhering to its principles without compromise, and consistently emphasizing the need to respect each other’s core interests. China’s position on the mirror tariffs unilaterally imposed by the United States is clear and consistent: they are essentially acts of unilateralism and protectionism that violate the rules of the World Trade Organization.

    China is willing to properly resolve differences and find solutions through dialogue and consultation. However, such dialogue must take place on an equal basis. China’s right to development is inalienable, and its determination to safeguard its core interests and development rights remains unwavering. Any attempt to pressure China to make concessions on fundamental issues is unrealistic.

    Some of the deeper problems in China-US trade and economic relations are difficult to resolve overnight, but progress begins with concrete steps. /The Chinese side/ hopes that Washington will move in the same direction as Beijing, implementing the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and the positive momentum gained from the talks.

    In this way, both sides can contribute to stabilizing their economic ties, strengthening mutual trust, reducing misjudgments, deepening cooperation, and quickly returning bilateral relations to the track of healthy and sustainable development. –0–

  • MIL-Evening Report: Espionage cost Australia $12.5 billion in 2023-24, ASIO boss Mike Burgess says

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

    Espionage cost Australia $12.5 billion in 2023-24, according to a study by ASIO and the Australian Institute of Criminology.

    The figure includes the direct costs of known espionage incidents, including state-sponsored theft of intellectual property, as well as the indirect costs of countering and responding.

    Details of the Cost of Espionage report were released by the head of ASIO, Mike Burgess, in delivering the annual Hawke Lecture on Thursday night. Espionage is defined as “the theft of Australian information by another country that is seeking an advantage over Australia”.

    Burgess said the Institute estimated foreign cyber spies stole nearly $2 billion from Australian companies and businesses in trade secrets and intellectual property in 2023-24.

    In one instance, spies hacked into a major Australian exporters computer network, stealing commercially sensitive information.

    “The theft gave the foreign country a significant advantage in subsequent contract negotiations, costing Australia hundreds of millions of dollars.”

    Burgess pointed to another espionage incident several years ago when an overseas delegation visited a sensitive Australian horticultural facility.

    A delegation member entered a restricted area and photographed a rare, valuable variety of fruit tree. A staff member intervened and deleted the image but it later turned out several of the tree’s branches had been stolen and smuggled out of Australia.

    “Almost certainly, the stolen plant material allowed scientists in the other country to reverse engineer and replicate two decades of Australian research and development.”

    In another instance, an Australian defence contractor invented and sold a world-leading innovation.

    At first sales boomed but then they collapsed, and “customers began flooding the company’s repair centre with faulty products. While the returns looked genuine, closer examination revealed they were cheap and nasty knock offs.

    “An investigation uncovered what happened.

    “One year earlier, a company representative attended a defence industry event overseas and was approached by an enthusiastic local. She insisted on sharing some content via a USB, which was inserted into a company laptop. The USB infected the system with malware allowing hackers to steal the blueprints for the product.

    “Almost certainly, the ‘enthusiastic local’ worked for a foreign intelligence service. The blueprints were given to a state-owned enterprise which mass-produced the knock-offs and deprived the Australian company millions of dollars in lost revenue – the tangible cost of espionage.”

    Burgess said many entities do not realise their secrets have been stolen by espionage.

    He stressed the institute was deliberately conservative, only modelling costs it could confirm and calculate.

    “That means many of the most serious, significant and cascading costs of espionage are not included in the 12.5 billion dollar figure. The potential loss of strategic advantage, sovereign decision-making and warfighting capacity hold immense value, but not a quantifiable dollar value.”

    “The Institute estimates Australia prevented tens of billions of dollars of additional costs by stopping or deterring spying,” Burgess said.

    He said ASIO estimated the espionage threat “will only intensify. It is already more serious and sophisticated than ever before, so our response must also be more serious and sophisticated than ever before.”

    Russian spies booted out in 2022

    Burgess confirmed that in 2022 a number of “undeclared Russian intelligence officers” were removed from Australia.

    “The decision followed a lengthy ASIO investigation that found the Russians recruiting proxies and agents to obtain sensitive information, and employing sophisticated tradecraft to disguise their activities.”

    Last year, two Russian born Australian citizens were charged with an espionage related offence.

    Russian remained a persistent and aggressive espionage threat, Burgess said. “But Russia is by no means the only country we have to deal with.

    “You would be genuinely shocked by the number and names of countries trying to steal our secrets.

    “The obvious candidates are very active – I’ve previously named China, Russia and Iran – but many other countries are also targeting anyone and anything that could give them a strategic or tactical advantage, including sensitive but unclassified information.”

    Burgess said increasingly foreign intelligence services were broadening their collection efforts beyond traditional categories. They were aggressively targeting science and technology, and public and private sector projects, negotiations and investments. This includes Antarctic research, green technology, critical minerals and rare earths extraction and processing.

    ‘A very unhealthy’ interest in AUKUS

    Burgess said foreign intelligence services were “taking a very unhealthy interest in AUKUS and its associated capabilities.”

    “Australia’s defence sector is a top intelligence collection priority for foreign governments seeking to blunt our operational edge, gain insights into our operational readiness and tactics, and better understand our allies’ capabilities.

    “Targets include maritime and aviation-related military capabilities, but also innovations with both commercial and military applications.

    “And with AUKUS, we are not just defending our sovereign capability. We are also defending critical capability shared by and with our partners.”

    He said foreign intelligence services were “proactive, creative and opportunistic” in targeting present and former defence employees.

    There was relentless cyber espionage, in-person targeting and technical collection.

    “In recent years, for example, defence employees travelling overseas have been subjected to covert room searches, been approached at conferences by spies in disguise and given gifts containing surveillance devices.”

    Two dozen major disruptions in the last three years

    Burgess said that ASIO had detected and disrupted 24 major cases of foreign interference in the last three years alone.

    This was more than in the previous eight years combined. They were just the major disruptions – there were many other cases. Among the examples he gave were:

    • spies recruited a security clearance holder who handed over official documents on free trade negotiations

    • foreign companies connected to intelligence services sought to buy access to personal data sets; sought to buy land near sensitive military sites, and sought to collaborate with researchers developing sensitive technologies

    • foreign intelligence services tried to get someone employed as a researcher in a media outlet, aiming to shape reporting and receive early warning of critical stories

    • spies convinced a state bureaucrat to login to a database to obtain details of people considered dissidents by a foreign regime

    • nation state hackers compromised a peak industry body’s network getting sensitive information

    • a foreign intelligence service had multiple agents and their family members apply for Australian government jobs to get access to classified information.

  • MIL-OSI: Radware Report Reveals Shifting Attack Vectors in Credential Stuffing Campaigns

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MAHWAH, N.J., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a global leader in application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, today released a new research report—The Invisible Breach: Business Logic Manipulation and API Exploitation in Credential Stuffing Attacks. The report reveals a paradigm shift in credential stuffing attacks. It underscores a fundamental transformation from volume-based attacks leveraging a series of repeated password attempts to sophisticated, multi-stage infiltration techniques.

    “To bypass traditional defenses, modern credential stuffing attacks are shifting away from traditional password-spraying techniques in favor of business logic manipulation, cross-platform device spoofing, and strategic API exploitation,” said Arik Atar, senior cyber threat intelligence researcher at Radware. “The message for defending organizations is clear. To match this new reality, they must move beyond credential-centric controls to adopt security strategies that validate entire user journeys, correlate cross-request behavior, and detect suspicious patterns in business logic flows.”

    Radware’s research examined 100 advanced credential stuffing configurations deployed through a well-known account takeover tool called SilverBullet.

    Advanced attack methodologies

    • Business logic attacks: 94% of configurations implement four or more business logic attack elements, with 54% demonstrating advanced orchestration, using 13+ distinct techniques.
    • API exploitation: 83% of configurations contain explicit API-targeting techniques.
    • Multi-device spoofing: 24% of attack scripts alternate between two device types during execution, with 71% employing cross-platform transitions, primarily between iOS and Windows.

    Primary targets

    • Industries: Technology/SaaS emerged as the primary target sector (27%), followed by financial services/government (16%), and the travel/airline (13%) sectors.
    • Online tools: There is a significant shift toward high-value AI tools (44% of all technology targets), potentially exploited by spammers who engage in account cracking to create large-scale phishing content. In addition, corporate tools (30%), including Microsoft 365, OneDrive, and Outlook, are likely targets for ransomware groups pursuing initial access to organizational systems.

    Centralized threat landscape

    • Concentration: 51% of the analyzed configurations, randomly collected over six months, were written by just three advanced threat actors: SVBCONFIGSMAKER, t.me/mrcombo1services, and @Magic_Ckg.
    • Specialization: Each threat actor had over two years of operational experience in distinct areas of specialization, including AI platform authentication bypass, mobile API exploitation, and Microsoft cloud services.

    Radware’s complete report—The Invisible Breach: Business Logic Manipulation and API Exploitation in Credential Stuffing Attacks—can be downloaded here.

    The research methodology was based on an analysis of 100 SilverBullet credential stuffing attack scripts to identify emerging trends, techniques, and tactics in modern account takeover (ATO) campaigns. The scripts were collected from Telegram channels of threat actors and published between December 2024 and May 2025.

  • MIL-OSI China: China’s tally of marriage registrations down in 2024

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    China recorded a total of 6.106 million marriage registrations throughout 2024, down 20.5 percent year-on-year, according to a bulletin of statistics issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs Wednesday.

    The document also shows that the marriage rate among Chinese people was 4.3 per 1,000 people last year, a decrease of 0.11 percentage points from the previous year.

    In 2024, a total of 3.513 million divorces were concluded in China, according to the document.

    After nine consecutive years of decline from 2013 to 2022, China’s marriage registration numbers saw a brief rebound in 2023. However, the downward trend resumed in 2024 and continued into 2025.

    According to statistics released in April, China recorded 1.81 million marriage registrations in the first quarter of this year, marking an 8 percent drop from the same period last year.

    Li Ting, a population expert at Renmin University of China in Beijing, noted that last year’s decline in marriage registrations was partly due to the waning post-pandemic “compensatory” marriage effect and a shrinking population of people within the typical marriageable age range.

    According to calculations based on data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 20 to 39, the core marriageable age group, stood at around 435 million in 2013. By 2023, that number had dropped to approximately 371 million, a decline of about 64 million.

    Experts also point to shifting attitudes toward marriage and financial pressures as contributing factors behind the downward trend. Rising education levels and a growing emphasis on individualism have increasingly challenged traditional views on marriage, Li added.

    The decline in marriage rates is widely believed to be a factor in falling birth rates, trends that are fueling growing public concern. In response, authorities across China have rolled out a series of pro-marriage policies and measures to reverse the trend.

    In May, China’s revised marriage registration rules, which simplify paperwork and offer greater flexibility for couples, came into effect.

    The updated regulations eliminate the need for household registration books, which have long been necessary for marriage applications. Under the new rules, couples can register their marriage at any eligible registry nationwide, regardless of their household registration location.

    Besides, China has rolled out extended marriage leave in at least 27 provincial-level regions as part of ongoing efforts to foster a more family-friendly society.

    Over recent years, China has also launched a persistent campaign against exorbitant bride prices alongside lavish weddings in rural areas, in a bid to address irrational burdens related to marriage.

    A judicial interpretation on handling bride price-related disputes, issued by the Supreme People’s Court, came into effect in February 2024. It prohibited requesting money or other possessions in the name of marriage.

  • MIL-OSI China: Beijing accelerates recovery efforts after rare downpours

    Beijing is ramping up recovery efforts to restore power, clear roads and deliver essential supplies to residents displaced by flash floods and landslides triggered by some of the most intense rainfall in the city’s mountainous outskirts.

    In Miyun District, one of the worst-hit areas, a makeshift supply hub in Xizhuangzi Village was bustling by Wednesday morning, with stacks of bottled water, instant noodles, sausages and preserved eggs ready for dispatch.

    More than 60 tonnes of emergency supplies were distributed across Miyun on Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday morning, four helicopters were deployed to continue airdropping relief materials. Repair crews were also dispatched to restore damaged communication and power lines, according to local authorities.

    As of midnight Monday, 30 people had been confirmed dead in Beijing, including 28 in Miyun District and two in Yanqing District. Authorities said that the Miyun Reservoir recorded its highest inflow, highest water level and fastest outflow since its construction in 1959.

    In Yanqing, more than 4,200 people have been relocated. Some 488 rescue teams, comprising over 8,300 personnel, were dispatched to carry out relief efforts. Communication has been reestablished in all previously unreachable villages, damaged roads cleared, and essential services such as power supply restored.

    Taotiaogou, a remote village in Yanqing, was among the hardest hit. After over 48 hours of rescue efforts, its 49 residents were gradually brought to safety.

    “I’ve never seen such ferocious floodwaters in my life,” said 89-year-old Zhai Cheng’an, recalling how his home was quickly engulfed by muddy torrents.

    Zhai Yonghui, deputy Party chief of Taotiaogou Village, said the downpour intensified at 10:20 p.m. on July 26, breaking local rainfall records. Yanqing District plans to help residents from the devastated village start a new life in other sites.

    “The water will recede, and we will have homes again. We believe in that,” he added.

    As part of ongoing recovery efforts, train services on the Beijing-Baotou high-speed railway will resume Thursday after being suspended due to severe rain in Beijing and Hebei Province earlier in the week, according to China Railway Hohhot Group Co., Ltd.

    The heavy rains have also battered other parts of northern China.

    In Hebei, eight people have been confirmed dead and 18 remain missing in Xinglong County, while eight people were killed after a rain-triggered landslide struck a village in Luanping County. In Shanxi Province, 10 people were confirmed dead after a midsize bus carrying 14 passengers went missing Sunday morning following days of heavy rainfall.

    China’s cyberspace regulator on Thursday summoned U.S. tech giant Nvidia over security risks concerning its H20 AI chip sold to China.

    The company was asked to give explanations and submit relevant proof materials on this issue. This is aimed at safeguarding cyberspace and data security for Chinese users per laws on network and data security and personal information protection, according to the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC).

    Recently, Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips have been alleged to pose serious security risks, and some U.S. lawmakers have called for advanced chips exported abroad to be equipped with “tracking and positioning” functions.

    U.S. artificial intelligence experts disclosed that the “tracking and positioning” and “remote shutdown” technologies of Nvidia chips have matured, the CAC said in a statement.

    YANGON, July 31 (Xinhua) — Myanmar’s National Defence and Security Council on Thursday formed a new union government and a National Security and Peace Commission, state broadcaster MRTV reported.

    The Union Government is headed by Nyo Soe as Prime Minister and the National Security and Peace Commission is led by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the statement said.

    According to the report, the National Defense and Security Council also decided to cancel the order to transfer powers to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

    Myanmar State Administrative Council spokesman Zaw Min Tun said on Thursday that the National Defence and Security Council had decided to lift the state of emergency to hold a general election.

    In February 2021, Myanmar’s then-acting President Myint Swe declared a one-year state of emergency and handed over supreme power to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces subsequently formed the State Administrative Council, chaired by Min Aung Hlaing. Myanmar’s National Defense and Security Council has repeatedly extended the state of emergency for six months, until July 31 this year. –0–
