(MENAFN- AzerNews)
By
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin on Wednesday
said evidence proved that the United States is the greatest threat
to global cyber security, calling for joint effort against U.S.
infringement on cyber sovereignty and international rules, reports citing .
Wang made the remarks at a regular press briefing when asked to
comment on a new investigation report on the cyber attacks by the
U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) released on Tuesday by China's
National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center.
The report detailed how the NSA's Office of Tailored Access
Operation (TAO) controled key infrastructure facilities in China
and infiltrated into China's Northwestern Polytechnical
University's internal network by using servers in countries such as
the Netherlands and Denmark to host cyber weapons through
stepping-stone attack via Japan, Germany, the Republic of Korea and
other countries. This enabled the TAO to steal sensitive data and
information of people with sensitive identities.
The U.S. also secretly controled the telecom carriers of at
least 80 countries and conducted indiscriminate wiretapping on
global telecom users, according to the report.
Wang said that this has been the third investigation report
issued by the relevant Chinese institution this month on the NSA's
malicious cyber attacks on China's Northwestern Polytechnical
University.
According to Wang, China has in recent weeks demanded
explanation from the U.S. and asked it to immediately stop illegal
action through various channels. So far, however, the U.S. has been
silent.
'The U.S. could not have been more bombastic and motivated when
propagating the lies about 'Chinese hackers', yet it has
deliberately chosen to be blind and mute in the face of the solid
evidence collected by the Chinese institution. What exactly is the
U.S. hiding from the world?'
Noting that the U.S. has long been known as 'the empire of
hacking and champion of secrets theft,' Wang said with its absolute
dominance in the field of Internet technology, the U.S. has
exercised indiscriminate cyber control and theft on a global scale
to benefit itself politically, militarily, diplomatically and
commercially.
The bullying practices of the U.S. in cyberspace have become a
growing concern shared across the international community, Wang
added.
'There is ample evidence that the U.S. is no doubt the greatest
threat to global cyber security,' Wang said, calling on countries
to unite, stand up to U.S. hegemonic act which damaged cyber
sovereignty and international rules and work together to create a
peaceful, secure, open and cooperative cyberspace.
