Microsoft reports a Chinese group is threatening critical parts of U.S. cyberinfrastructure. Early analysis indicates their goal is espionage.
Microsoft reports a state-run group is threatening critical parts of the country's cyberinfrastructure. Early analysis indicates their goal is espionage.
There are three U.S. military bases on Guam, which is in a strategic part of the Indo-Pacific, should the Chinese Communist Party look to attack Taiwan, or provide some type of blockade through Taiwan. The general thinking is that Chinese hackers tried to disrupt communications from the U.S. and its Five Eyes allies. That partnership includes the U.K., Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
In a statement, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly said,"For years, China has conducted aggressive cyberoperations to steal intellectual property and sensitive data from organizations around the globe."There's another part of the story that's crucial: the public-private partnership element of the U.S. government, as well as its ability to work with companies like Microsoft.
Jamil Jaffer is the founder and executive director of the National Security Institute at George Mason University's Law School. He's also a venture partner at Paladin Capital Group. He says Thursday morning's data breach is a significant threat and what's interesting out about this particular hack is that the Chinese have come in through in a variety of new methods.
