On the 16th of December, the United States government released a statement that hackers affiliated to the governments of China, North Korea, and Turkey have moved to exploit a severe vulnerability in software used by major technology companies throughout the world.
Experimentation with the flaw, integration into established hacking tools, and \"exploitation against targets to meet the actor's aims\" are among the activities carried out by foreign hacker groups, as reported by CNN.
A software vulnerability has recently been discovered, according to the US Cybersecurity<\/a> and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA<\/a>) and this could compromise hundreds of millions of devices worldwide.
In response to the threat, CISA has instructed all federal and civilian entities to upgrade their software. The vulnerability is in the Java-based program \"Log4j<\/a>,\" which is used by enterprises all over the world to log data in their applications. From Cisco to Amazon Web Services to IBM, the list of vulnerable software vendors reads like a who's who of tech behemoths. Despite the fact that US officials are on high alert as a result of the software weakness, Eric Goldstein, a senior CISA officer, told the media that there was no proof that federal networks had been hacked using this vulnerability.
Earlier this year The United States, the United Kingdom, and their allies publicly blamed the Microsoft Exchange intrusion on Chinese government actors, accusing the Chinese government of a wide range of \"malicious cyber actions,\" intensifying tensions between the White House and Beijing. According to this coalition of nations, the Chinese government is behind several harmful ransomware, data theft, and cyber-espionage assaults against public and commercial businesses, including the massive Microsoft Exchange compromise earlier this year. The attack was attributed to China by Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, and NATO, marking it the first time that the North American-European alliance has condemned China's cyber actions, according to a senior Biden administration official.
As per a public statement from the European Union, the declaration was added to a long list of disagreements between the US and China, including economic, military, and political concerns. Between 2011 and 2018, the United States prosecuted four Chinese citizens linked with the Ministry of State Security for hacking into the computer systems of dozens of firms, colleges, and government institutions in the United States and internationally. The indictment claimed that the hackers had also targeted Ebola vaccine development among other things.
China's policymakers were further taken aback by the US administration's decision to keep tariffs set by former President Donald Trump<\/a> in place, as well as it's backing for reopening an investigation into how the Covid-19 outbreak began — and if it originated in a Wuhan lab. The United States hopes to demonstrate how China's Ministry of State Security deploys criminal contract hackers to undertake unsanctioned cyber operations throughout the world, including for personal gain, in a report recently published.
China has always maintained that it is a victim of cyberattacks rather than a perpetrator. The National Security Agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation detailed more than 50 tactics used by Chinese state-sponsored cyber hackers to attack US and allied networks, including spear-phishing emails with malicious attachments, exploitation of public-facing applications, and drive-by compromise, as part of this program.

USA-China紧张局势可能加深在指控中国黑客的角色
在12月16日,美国政府发表了一份声明,中国黑客隶属于政府,朝鲜,和土耳其已经利用严重安全漏洞在软件使用的主要科技公司在世界各地。
黑客从中国据说已经在最近的前沿窃听事件见证了美国在华盛顿和北京之间日益紧张的局势。
在12月16日,美国政府发表了一份声明,中国黑客隶属于政府,朝鲜,和土耳其已经利用严重安全漏洞在软件使用的主要科技公司在世界各地。
实验的缺陷,融入了黑客工具,和“剥削与目标满足演员的目标”的活动由外国黑客组织,据CNN。
软件漏洞最近被发现,据美国网络安全和基础设施安全机构(中钢协),这可能会妥协全世界数以百万计的设备。
为了应对威胁,中钢协要求所有联邦和民用实体升级他们的软件。java程序中的漏洞是“Log4j”,被世界各地的企业在他们的应用程序日志数据。从思科Amazon Web Services IBM,脆弱的软件供应商的名单读起来像的科技巨头。尽管美国官员高度警惕由于软件的弱点,Eric Goldstein中钢协的一位高级官员告诉媒体,没有证据显示联邦网络被黑客利用这个漏洞。
今年早些时候,美国,英国,和他们的盟友公开指责微软Exchange入侵对中国政府的演员,指责中国政府广泛的“恶意网络行动,”白宫与北京之间的紧张关系加剧。根据这一联盟的国家,中国政府背后几个有害ransomware数据盗窃,和网络间谍攻击对公共和商业企业,包括大规模的Microsoft Exchange今年早些时候妥协。这次袭击是归因于中国,澳大利亚,加拿大,新西兰,日本,和北约,标记它第一次朝鲜欧美联盟谴责中国的网络行为,根据拜登政府的一位高级官员。
从欧盟每一个公开声明,声明了一长串的美国和中国之间的分歧,包括经济、军事和政治问题。在2011年至2018年之间,美国起诉四名中国公民与国家安全部侵入计算机系统的许多公司,大学和政府机构在美国和国际。起诉书称,黑客也针对埃博拉病毒疫苗开发。
中国的政策制定者们被美国政府进一步吃惊的决定让前总统制定的关税唐纳德·特朗普到位,以及支持重启调查Covid-19爆发如何开始——如果它起源于一个武汉实验室。美国希望证明中国国家安全部刑事契约网络黑客进行未经批准的行动部署在世界各地,包括为了个人利益,在最近发表的一份报告。
中国一直坚称它是网络攻击的受害者,而不是罪犯。国家安全局、网络安全和基础设施安全机构,和美国联邦调查局(Federal Bureau of Investigation)详细的中国国家支持超过50所使用的战术网络黑客攻击美军和盟军网络,包括鱼叉式网络钓鱼电子邮件和恶意附件,开发面向公众应用程序,和驾车妥协,作为这个项目的一部分。
