A massive data leak from a Chinese cybersecurity firm has offered a rare glimpse into the inner workings of Beijing-linked hackers. Analysts say the leak is a treasure-trove of intel into the day-to-day operations of China’s hacking programme, which the FBI says is the biggest of any country.
I work in the government and specifically do cybersecurity audits regularly. The DoD isn’t going to publicly broadcast their cyber warfare capabilities. If you’ve been paying attention, you should know that the entire developed world has been engaged in cyber warfare for pretty much the last 15+ years. Unfortunately, a lot of what’s going on behind the scenes isn’t unclassified.
Anyway, I’m not going to go out of my way to try and convince random people on the Internet that the US isn’t some backwards ass country when it comes to cybersec. I don’t care what you believe. Just realize that there are numerous contracts worth billions of dollars altogether relating to various IT services, including cybersecurity, both offensive and defensive.
