Human Rights Watch reports that Chinese authorities in Xinjiang deploy the Integrated Joint Operations Platform (IJOP), a big-data predictive-policing and surveillance system that aggregates CCTV (including facial recognition and infrared), Wi‑Fi sniffing, checkpoint data, and personal records to monitor, identify, and contribute to the detention of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities; the piece documents intrusive data collection and arbitrary detentions rather than detailing a technical cyberattack or indicators of compromise.
