US is now taking
serious steps against cybercrimes of China and has officially warned Chinese
Government on their repeatedly cyber attacks on US based website.
From the starting of
new year 2013 many United States based famous companies’ website (including
Facebook, Twitter, Apple, several Newspapers etc) were hacked through using
different sources like malware, Trojan horses, virus or worms. Read my earlier
article about the Chinese cyber attacks on different US based companies by a private US cyber security company “Mandiant”. Mandiant report showed that
more than 150 US companies and famous institutions/organizations including
Banks were hacked and data was theft secretly.
After facing several
cyber attacks and had found their bases in China, US seems very serious towards
this issue. A high senior White House official today warned china for its cyber
crimes and said this is a new challenge for United States of America and this
should be eliminated by talking to China. US official forces Chinese government
to take necessary actions eliminating cyber attacks originated from China
otherwise, it could harm US-China relations. Moreover, Tom Donilon (US security
official) forced China to start serious talks with US about this issue.
On the other hand, Chinese
government in their response to talks said that China is not behind those cyber
attacks and questioned the validity and proof about the reports of Mandiant
(Publicly Cyber Security Company of US). Mr. Hua Chunying (Spokesperson of
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs) said, China is always ready to talks but
we strongly rejects and persisted that China is behind any attacks. He further
said that, China believed in mutual respect and trust with rest of the world
and we appreciate meaningful talks on any international platform or any country
even US for cyber security issues and to maintain peace.
United States top
officials are continuously blaming China over cyber attacks and hacking
indirectly on different forums but they don’t blame China directly. Today US have
officially forces China to overcome this issue and stop cyber crimes against
US. Now information technology officials are in a hope that forcing China will be
a good sign for betterment.
A high class security
official of US said, we are aware of these attacks and we want to let know
China about this and this is not a bad thing. Mandiant report was not published
by government rather it came from a private organization that helped government
to think seriously and hence, today government has officially forced china to
talk on this issue.
Now, we can hope for
the best and I am sure talking with China will really gives a good result. It
might help in minimizing cyber attacks. Attacking companies and personal
computers of different companies is a crime and this issue should be settled by
other countries of the world before they got attacked. So be ready and make
people ready to counter any possible attacks.
