Chinese Spy Group Recruiting Cambodian Translators

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Chinese Spy Group Recruiting Cambodian Translators

Post by techietraveller84 »

Since last week, online security forums have been writing about a Chinese spy/hacker group that was recruiting Cambodian translators through a front company called Hainan Xiandun.

The efforts started in March 2018, just before the July 2018 elections.

This is just another news splash that's making work that much tougher for Chinese businessmen and Chinese projects.

The new information gives the names of the companies that were trying to recruit Cambodians, as well as a few more details. This is what makes it interesting.

Because it's an article I remember reading a couple months back. A poster asked if anyone knew anything else. I shared.

Any other dumbass questions?
