Anonymous 64 announced on X on October 22 that it had relaunched operations, with its first wave targeting four websites including the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade’s Creative Design Industry Development Center and Asia-Pacific News Economy, planting slogans such as “Without the Communist Party, there can be a new China” on their homepages. The group claimed it intercepted confidential talks among top-level CCP officials and accused the “15th Five-Year Plan” of being a “blueprint turned scam.”
According to images released by Anonymous 64, the hacked homepages were replaced with anti-CCP graphics and lengthy articles that dissected the meeting agenda point by point, accusing the authorities of using “common prosperity” to mask resource monopolies. Anonymous 64 said it would submit the intercepted materials to international human-rights organizations and media outlets for verification, emphasizing “let the truth be revealed to the world.”
Facing the sudden breach, the affected institutions have yet to issue formal statements. Several cybersecurity consultants assessed that the sites likely relied on outdated content management systems lacking multi-factor authentication, creating exploitable gaps. Anonymous 64 urged global citizens to monitor the policy directions emerging from the Fourth Plenum and warned that, if Beijing continues to censor information, it will disclose more negotiation details.
