Tencent, ByteDance, Alibaba Lead China’s Agentic AI Charge Against U.S. Rivals

The development of AI agentic frameworks is being accelerated by Chinas IT giants to compete with American platforms such as AutoGen and OpenAI Swarm.

The development of AI agentic frameworks is being accelerated by Chinas IT giants to compete with American platforms such as AutoGen and OpenAI Swarm. With a score of 71.47% on the WebWalkerQA test, Tencent just made its YoutuAgent, developed by Youtu Labs, publicly available. Alibaba first introduced QwenAgent in March, while ByteDance first debuted Coze Studio in July. These frameworks represent a critical advance in Chinas AI capabilities by enabling autonomous AI agents to plan and carry out difficult tasks. The increasing rivalry in creating scalable, intelligent agent platforms is reflected in the opensource releases. Indicating larger industry momentum, startups like Butterfly Effect are also joining the market with tools like Manus.

Silver Fox Hackers Exploit Trusted Windows Drivers to Deploy ValleyRAT Malware

Check Point Research claims that the Chinese hacker collective Silver Fox is using reliable Windows drivers to get around security measures and spread

Check Point Research claims that the Chinese hacker collective Silver Fox is using reliable Windows drivers to get around security measures and spread malware. After disabling antivirus and EDR software by abusing a weak WatchDog Antimalware driver amsdk.sys v1.0.600, the attackers installed ValleyRAT, a backdoor used for data theft, command execution, and espionage. In order to guarantee compatibility with Windows 7, 10, and 11, they also took advantage of a defective Zemana AntiMalware driver ZAM.exe. Hardcoded termination lists, persistence mechanisms, and antianalysis features are all included in the malware package. The privilege escalation vulnerability was fixed by WatchDog, however arbitrary process termination is still possible. To identify and stop such complex breaches, experts advise IT organisations to implement YARA rules, update Microsofts driver blocklist, and keep an eye on network activities. Read More..
