CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.68

Daxin is a Windows kernel-level rootkit that hijacks legitimate inbound TCP connections to exfiltrate encrypted C2 commands, evading traditional network monitoring.

WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because PRC hackers are already sitting inside the phone networks, power grids, and water systems Americans rely on, positioned to shut off or spy on critical services the moment a Taiwan or South China Sea crisis turns hot.

ithome.com.tw — 高階後門Daxin、Stupig鎖定臺灣製造業發動攻擊

"Daxin為Windows核心層級的rootkit,最大的特徵在於C2連線機制,該程式不會主動對外建立連線,而是監控傳入的TCP流量,然後挾持既有的合法連線,來傳出經加密處理的C2指令"
