Last night, I was reading some articles before I went to sleep, and there was one that was quite interesting in regards to China’s hacking team.
Seems like this has been going on since the president took over and they’ve got great talent according to the article.
The article comes from Cyberscoop, a site that coversgovernment and cybersecurity.
The article is titled How Xi Jinping leveled-up China’s hacking teams.
It starts with the timeline starting in the early 2000s. We know that they were responsible for the Breach at OPM, a breach at Mariot hotels, and other links to others in a “many many others” as part of that particular sentence.
If you search China on this blog, I bet you’ll find articles leading to tons of information so don’t feel that I’m picking on Russia. I’ve said this publicly, China and Russia are both feared and both can do a lot of damage.
One paragraph says it all. Its a one sentence paragraph and it really could hit home. It says:
But if Chinese President Xi Jinping has his way, this litany of breaches represents only the beginning of China’s digital prowess.
That speaks volumes since this has been worked on for quite awhile. I wonder if Russia has been doing the same thing? Hmmm. Only time may tell to see if that comes out at some point.
There’s more in this very interesting article, feel free to comment on it either on the blog, or by sending an email. Thanks for reading!
