Google has shut down a hacking campaign led by the pro-China hacker group Dragonbridge.  The tech giant shut down thousands of fake YouTube channels and blogs tied to the group. Google stated that most of the content it found did not contain political messages, but a small portion of the YouTube channels and blog posts spread political propaganda that pushed pro-China ideology. Around 5,233 YouTube channels were taken down due to the fact that they were directly tied to operations that are currently under investigation. Google has consistently intercepted Dragonbridge's operations. In July 2022,  the group tried to hack rare earth mining companies in the U.S., Australia, and Canada. Law authorities claim that the group attempted to spark protests against the mining companies. So far, Google has terminated 100,960 accounts tied with Dragonbridge. The group is also tracked as Spamouflage Dragon.
