Revealing investigation: details of cyber attacks against Huawei revealed by China's Ministry of State Security
China's Ministry of State Security accuses the United States of hacking into Huawei's servers, stealing sensitive data and installing spying backdoors. The US NSA is accused of conducting systematic cyber attacks against China.
China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) has accused the United States of hacking into Huawei's servers, stealing sensitive data and installing backdoors since 2009, amid rising geopolitical tensions between the two countries.
The American NSA accused of systematic cyber attacks against China
In a message posted on WeChat, the government authority said that US intelligence agencies have "gone to great lengths" to conduct surveillance, secret theft and intrusions in many countries around the world, including China, using a "powerful arsenal of cyber attacks". No specific information was provided about the attacks allegedly perpetrated.
The Second Date malware and accusations of cyber espionage
Furthermore, it is claimed that China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center (NCVERC) isolated a spy software called Second Date while dealing with an incident at Northwest Polytechnic University, which was allegedly developed by the NSA and stealthily installed on "thousands of network devices in many countries around the world." Second Date has been described as a cross-platform malware capable of monitoring and intercepting network traffic and injecting malicious code.
Accusations against the United States and the "network cleansing"
The MSS also stated that the United States has forced technology companies to install backdoors in their software and equipment to conduct cyber espionage and steal data, citing as examples the companies X-Mode Social and Anomaly Six, which have demonstrated the ability to locate users' mobile phones. China has criticized the United States for trying to portray itself as a victim of cyber attacks and said Russia, Iran, China and North Korea are its main targets. Finally, the MSS issued a call to strengthen anti-espionage efforts and encouraged citizens to report suspicious activity, promising rewards and protection for their reports.
