The latest report revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) had remotely stolen 97 billion pieces of global Internet data and 124 billion phone records within 30 days.
On March 22nd, 360 Company disclosed the representative cyber weapon — — Technical characteristics of quantum attack platform. The United States uses this technology to launch cyber attacks on Internet users who visit American social media all over the world, and China social software is also its target.
In response, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Wang Wenbin said: "This means that no matter who you are, no matter where you are in the world,As long as you use online social platforms, there may be a ‘ Boss ’ Staring at you"
"This means no matter who you are and where you are, Big Brother is probably watching you whenever you log on to a social media platform."
The new information security media "Anzai" recently released a report, pointing out that the Access Technology Action Office (TAO) under the National Security Agency of the United States continues to implement indiscriminate data stealing for Internet users around the world.
The main responsibility of the Access Technology Action Office is to use the Internet to secretly obtain the inside information of opponents. Specifically includingSecretly invade the key information infrastructure and important Internet information systems of the target country., crack the stolen account password, break through or destroy the opponent’s computer security protection system, monitor network traffic, etc.
According to inside information disclosed by edward snowden, in 2011 alone, the US National Security Agency organized and implemented at least 231 cyber attacks, the main targets of which included China, Russian, Iranian and North Korea.
What is the United States staring at behind?The data stolen by the US National Security Agency includes account numbers and passwords, office and private documents, network communication information, e-mails, etc. This kind of attack is indiscriminate, and can hijack the normal web browsing traffic of any internet user anywhere in the world.
Why is the United States staring at the back?
steal secret information
US National Intelligence Director Haynes once said: "The assessment ("Annual Threat Assessment of American Intelligence ") lists the key threat countries, among which China ranks first, and China remains the priority target of the intelligence community."
"The Assessment starts with threats from key state actors, beginning with the People’s Republic of China, While Remains an Unparalleled Priority for the Intelligence Community. "In order to achieve the purpose of US government intelligence gathering, 360 found that the US National Security Bureau organized attacks on targets in China, including government, finance, scientific research institutes, military industry, aerospace and other industries.The high-tech field accounts for a large proportion..
360 Security Technology Inc. found that to help the US government to gather intelligence, the NSA launched attacks on specific targets in China including government and finance institutions, research institutes, military, aerospace and other industries. A majority of them belong to the high-tech sector.
In the era of big data, the serious disclosure of personal information data, business secrets and intellectual property rights may cause huge security risks.
Destroy critical infrastructure
In all kinds of cyber attacks from national governments, disrupting infrastructure is the first choice. Because once cyber attacks are carried out in areas involving people’s livelihood such as electricity, transportation and hospitals,It may lead to paralysis of social operation and even social unrest..
Among various cyber attacks targeting government institutions, disruption of infrastructure is the preferred goal. This is because once a cyber attack creates chaos in sectors related to people’s livelihoods, such as electricity, transportation and hospitals, it could bring society to a standstill and even stir up unrest.
In March 2019, cyber attacks in the United States caused a blackout in Venezuela. Eighteen states were affected, most of them were plunged into darkness, and some areas were blacked out for more than 48 hours.
Endanger citizens’ information security
For a long time, the National Security Agency of the United States "peeped" and collected a large amount of personal information and key industry data stored in the communication industry, which led to the serious threat of malicious collection, illegal abuse and cross-border outflow of privacy data such as citizenship, property, home address and even total recall of a large number of netizens.
In fact, in order to seek hegemony in cyberspace, the United States has repeatedly used cyber attacks to trample on the interests of other countries, even its allies.
In 2013, Snowden exposed the US "Prism" monitoring project, including the then German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other allied politicians. In 2015, Wikileaks broke the news that the National Security Agency monitored three French presidents, namely, Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and Hollande.
In May 2021, the US National Security Agency was exposed to use its cooperation with Danish intelligence agencies to monitor the leaders and senior officials of European allies, including then German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The United States is also the first country in the world to establish a cyber army, and has developed a large number of cyber weapons. Cyber warfare has become a threat to national security. In 2010, the intelligence agencies of the United States and Israel used the "Shenzhen" virus to paralyze Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Facts have long proved that the United States is a well-deserved hacker empire, surveillance empire and secret stealing empire.
