A security firm of USA Mandiant has
shocked the world after publishing its report about the attacks of Chinese
hackers on US economy and its security in couple of weeks before.
According to Mandiant (security firm)
report which was published last week and consisted of 60 pages told that, the Chinese
hackers has made a mind to demolish US economy and unfortunately Chinese
government is doing nothing as they know everything about the hackers in China.
Mandiant blamed that, Chinese company
APT1 is consists of many hackers working together from 6 years (started in
2006) and this group of hackers are being funded by Government of Chinese
through People’s Liberation Army Unit No. 61398. I myself can’t say anything
about this blame that whether it is true of just a source of pressuring China.
Mandiant further told the media that
this group of hackers is working in Chinese popular city Shanghai and like a
hidden snake for US economy and security of our nationals. He said there are
more than 141 attacks identified on different US companies websites including
intellectual property, security secrets and banks accounts of our nationals. Hackers
are trying to steal secret data, business documents.
When this hacking was come into known to
US officials they said that, we know who are behind this hacking and all the
symbols and fingers are going towards China and its likely seems that Chinese Government
is hidden behind this. Moreover they said that now it’s up to Obama that he
must take some serious action against China and its hackers dangerously.
In last Mandiant report also pointed
some necessary points for US government to take some actions seriously like
- Make aware the people, organizations that not are conscious of the scope of this hacking.
- Use full diplomacy actions to put pressure on Chine put down the process because enough is enough now.
- All Politicians and citizens should be given information immediately that how to protect their websites and data before attacks works.
In short, Mandiant report is a wakeup
call for whole USA, its economy and security. China is a hidden super power now
and trying to demolish USA in order to become worlds no 1 super power. So, US have
to be serious in this issue others it’s also come in my mind that China could
start its war with hacking instead of weapon.
Best of Luck for
United States and the peace for its nationals.
