Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and UK Accuse China of APT10 Hacking Spree (zdnet.com)
A day after the US Department of Justice charged two Chinese nationals for being members of a state-sponsored hacking group and accused the Chinese government of orchestrating a string of hacks around the world, five other governments have stepped in with similar accusations. From a report: Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and the UK have published official statements today formally blaming China of hacking their government agencies and local companies. All statements are in regards to the supposed involvement of the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) in supporting the activity of a hacking group known as APT10. In a DOJ indictment yesterday, the US says this group hacked companies in 12 countries, and later breached cloud service providers, wormed through their infrastructure, and hacked even more companies. US officials said the primary purpose of these hacks was to steal trade secrets and intellectual property that the Chinese government later passed to local Chinese companies, helping create an unfair advantage for local firms on the global market.
spent half the time and energy securing their resources as they do whining about people stealing them we would not have an issue.
Obviously, I don't know what our security agencies get up to.but it seems that we have a cyber-war going on that is being fought by only one side.
I wonder how many dead-in-the-brain Trump supporters will extend their defense of Russia's hacking crimes to China, using the exact same bullshit arguments? (*Grabs popcorn)
So the ECHELON countries are crying they are being hacked.
Wow, the irony.
Your issue is comprehension of the issue.
No. PP's comprehension is spot on. If the NSA and other TLAs worried more about securing domestic assets and less about how they were going to poke around themselves, we (and our 5 Eyes partners) wouldn't be in the sorry state we are in now.
Fuck off moron,
Fuck off, Putin puppet. We know whos mouthpiece you are.
Well done! You've added a lot to the discussion here as well.
Time to unplug China from the rest of the world.
We should find and EXECUTE any known persons who do this regardless if they acted alone, with a group, or state-backed.
Yup, it would start a real war. The average person has no clue any of this state-sponsored espionage is an every day thing.
Start executing people for doing it and the world would maybe see what is exactly happening.
Fuck, why are governments so fucking shitty and evil.
I understand it is never going to stop, but the idealist in me knows and longs for a better world.
I kinda secretly wish all governments would spiral into failure and the world economy would just cease to be a thing.
Enter the keyboard "badass"
Did I somehow slip sideways into YouTube comments? I gotta quit scrolling down. Nothing but petulant antagonists in these threads anymore.
trump should say any one hacking china will get an auto pardon.
I guess the false flag operations are working.
No. PP's comprehension is spot on. If the NSA and other TLAs worried more about securing domestic assets and less about how they were going to poke around themselves, we (and our 5 Eyes partners) wouldn't be in the sorry state we are in now.
Again you express your ignorance. If the NSA didn't spend time learning how to poke around systems, how the fuck would they know what kinds of attacks to secure OUR systems against?
Says the China puppet...
All governments conduct or sponsor hacking. The principal difference between the United States and China is that American hacking is subject to review by the judicial branch of government. Hence, the American Civil Liberties Union can sue Washington to curb American hacking or to expose its extent.
Chinese hacking is not subject to such constraints. China is a brutal, authoritarian society.
So, hacking by Westerners is not morally equivalent to hacking by Chinese or even Indians.
I submitted USA's own mass surveillance program 'Hemisphere' and that story NEVER got published. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/
Does CIA/NSA has / . on its payroll?
LEARN THE LESSON MORON : Don't be stupid, don't fall for the bullshit advertisement, demand proof and accountability - or just take it up the ass like a Trump supporter on the way to the gallows.
Damn, those communists are too good at capitalism.
purpose of these hacks was to steal trade secrets and intellectual property that the Chinese government later passed to local Chinese companies
Fortunately, NSA would not do this (hint: to Airbus, for Boeing)
You have zero information or insights about the NSA. Yet you blather as if defending them?
China has twice the population of all the other countries mentioned combined.
If they spend their time on infiltration research, espionage, and exfiltration of IP, I don't give a toss how bad you think you are on the internet or on the political world stage, they will outman you and out maneuvre you with twice (or far, far more) the manpower than you can field against them.
Grow up.
these amazingly talented government hackers who knows how to break into every system... I would say it's the U.S. doing it, because it does spy on everyone, and then "discovers" that another country was hacked (how do you do that exactly?) and then amazingly, there's always a little clue left behind. Aha! China must have done it!
But don't let me disturb your precious echo-chamber with my illogical thinking.
You are saying xBSD is too hard for NSA to hack and it must be badmouthed ?
Your owners are sacrosanct.
America is responsible for millions killed in Iraq and Syria. For NO good reason whatsoever. Except "pleasing Israel", of course.
