Chinese Hackers Suspected of Intruding into US Government Computer System, National Security Employees at Risk of Personal Data Breach
Reuters quoted five sources on 3 February as saying that hackers suspected to be of Chinese origin have taken advantage of vulnerabilities in SolarWinds’ software to intrude into US government computers last December. This was the second time the American government computer system was reported to have been compromised since the Russian invasion last December.
According to two sources, FBI investigators have recently discovered that the National Finance Center, the USDA-administered unit responsible for the federal payroll, was one of the government agencies under attack. This has led to worries that the data of tens of thousands of US government employees’ data might have been stolen.
The National Finance Center is responsible for handling the wages of the employees of multiple government organizations, which include agencies involved in national security matters like the FBI, the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Treasury. The Center holds the employees’ identity card numbers, phone numbers, personal email addresses and banking information.

The most famous Chinese cyberattacks
Cyberattacks have become a well-polished weapon in China’s armoury over the past decade.
Used as methods of espionage, state-sponsored data breaches and server hacks pose a significant threat to global security and public safety. And far-reaching attacks have established China as “one of the world’s pre-eminent cyber players”, says cybersecurity firm IronNet.
Cybercrime worldwide has risen by 600% during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to research published by business insurance company Embroker.

Critical race theory “divides people based on … skin pigmentation, or ethnicity, something that people have no control over,” says Republican Congressman for Alabama Mo Brooks. This meets his definition of #Racism.
And with #China threatening to “crack the heads” of its enemies, a recent Russian #Cyberattack on a U.S. pipeline, and terrorist activity rife in the Middle East, is learning critical race theory really the highest priority for U.S. troops? Rep. Brooks doesn’t think so.

USA and NATO Condemn China's Malicious Cyberattack
The Guardian reported that the USA and NATO along with the European Union, United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand condemned Malicious Cyberattacks by China.

On the same day, the US Department of Justice prosecuted four China citizens, including three security department officials and one criminal hacker contractor, accusing them of extorting and endangering the USA national security. Between 2011 and 2018, they invaded the computer system of various organizations, universities and government institutions, asking for trade secrets of aeronautics, national defence, education, government, medical, biopharmaceutical and maritime.

#SouthKorea’s Intelligence Agency Has Joined NATO’s Cyber Defense Unit; #China Isn’t Happy
//On Thursday, May 5, 2022, South Korea’s spy agency became the first in Asia to join #NATO’s Cyber Defense Group in a move that risks inflaming tensions with regional superpower China.
In response, #HuXiJin, the strident editor of Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) mouthpiece The #GlobalTimes, tweeted that the move was an affront to Beijing and even lays the groundwork for war in Asia. “If South Korea takes a path of turning hostile against its neighbors, the end of this path could be a #Ukraine,” he wrote.
Despite hosting some of the world’s top tech companies, like #LG and #Samsung, South Korea has been a surprising laggard regarding cybercrime and only launched a National Cybersecurity Strategy under the #MoonJaeIn administration in 2018.
This is despite South Korea being the principle target of increasingly frequent cyberattacks from across the DMZ. A crack squad of 6,800 North Korean agents are engaged in fraud, blackmail and online gambling that together generate some $860 million annually, according to the Korea Institute of Liberal Democracy in Seoul. Many attacks originate from inside China.//
