Chinese firm tied to Uyghur rights abuses now training Tibet police on hacking techniques

A watchdog report details that Meiya Pico, a Chinese state-owned digital forensics firm sanctioned by the U.S., is building offensive/defensive cyber and digital forensics labs for Tibet Police College, supplying servers, intrusion simulation software, forensic workstations, and evidence storage; the company’s invasive tools, including the MFSocket spyware, its market dominance, and global training efforts raise concerns that capabilities tested on Tibetans will be exported, aligning with international warnings about spyware used to monitor Uyghur, Tibetan, and Taiwanese communities.
