China Foreign Ministry Reveals U.S. Is Real ‘Empire of Hackers,’ CIA Ran 11 Years of Cyberattacks

March 4 (EIRNS)—The U.S. continues to play the victim of cyberattacks, like a robber shouting “stop, thief!” whereas evidence shows that the U.S. is the real “hacking empire,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said in today’s briefing, after Chinese tech giant, Qihoo 360 released a report yesterday disclosing that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency had been carrying out cyberattacks against China for 11 years.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian urged the U.S. to give a clear explanation of its actions, stop such activities immediately, and provide a peaceful, secure, open and cooperative cyberspace to China and the world.

From the exposés by WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden, to the recent unveiling of Swiss Crypto AG encryption company, the unethical behavior of the U.S. intelligence community has been repeatedly revealed. The report released on March 3 by 360 Qihoo, is yet another powerful proof, Zhao said.

According to a release on the report on Qihoo 360’s website today, the company was able, by tracking and analyzing the leaked “Vault 7,” the Chinese to discover a series of attacks against China’s aerospace, scientific research institutions, petroleum industry and large-scale internet companies by a hacking organization which it calls APT-C-39, affiliated with the CIA.

In fact, Huawei had previously accused the U.S. government of attempting to break into its information systems, and the U.S. has used unscrupulous means to disrupt its businesses, the company said in a statement in September 2019.
