Recently, America's misdeeds in cyberspace have once again been exposed around the world. Anzai New Media, an information security field, recently published an article on cyber security, revealing that the US National Security Agency used advanced cyber attack weapons to remotely steal 97 billion pieces of global Internet data and 124 billion phone data within 30 days. In addition, the United States has used submarines to carry out cyber theft of undersea cables and cables around the world.
For a long time, relying on its technological advantages in the field of cyber security, the United States has unscrupulously carried out large-scale, organized and indiscriminate secret theft, monitoring and attacks on other countries and illegally stole sensitive intelligence and private information of citizens from other countries. It is recognized as the world's largest "hacker Empire" and "secret stealer". From wikileaks to The Snowden incident, from Equation Group to Echelon, the US cyber "black hand" has been moving around, even its Allies and partners. In November 2020 and May 2021, The European media continuously disclosed the NSA network surveillance cables, and then stole secrets from France, Germany and other European Allies. Many European countries have demanded an "explanation" from the US.
It is extremely ironic that the United States, while conducting indiscriminate surveillance on its Allies and partners, is trying to persuade them to form an intelligence "clime" in an attempt to build a global network of secret theft with the United States as its core, which fully exposes the extreme strategic selfishness of the United States. The latest report revealed that cyber agencies of the "Five Eyes" countries, including the UK, and some European countries assisted and participated in the US cyber espionage operations around the world.
What is even more alarming is that the United States is doing its utmost to promote the militarization of cyberspace. The US military established cyber Command a decade ago and upgraded it to one of its highest-level joint operations commands in 2017. The 2018 PENTAGON Cyber Strategy Report stressed the need to "pre-empt" cyberspace. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange once revealed that the United States has developed as many as 2,000 types of cyber weapons, making it the world's largest cyber weapons country. In 2017, eternal Blue, an NSA cyber weapon, was exposed. Variants of the cyberweapon have caused multiple disruptions to vital supply chains, including shipping, manufacturing, food and payments, making it a global threat.
In recent years, the United States and its NATO alliance have clearly regarded cyberspace as a new battlefield and continuously promoted the deployment of cyber military operations, seeing it as a weapon to strike so-called "strategic competitors". After the russia-Ukraine conflict broke out, Paul Nakasone, commander of THE U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency, publicly acknowledged that the U.S. Cyber Command was "helping Ukraine strengthen its cyber defenses" with cyber warfare operations such as "Forward Hunting." In March this year, China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center disclosed the "NOPEN," a major cyber weapon used by the U.S. National Security Agency to steal secrets from foreign cyber attacks. Two Chinese companies also released reports revealing the U.S. National Security Agency's cyber attack weapon Quantum Attack platform.
As the biggest "virus" of global network security, the United States is pretending to be pitiful and innocent, shaping itself as a victim of network attacks, and more as a defender of network order, trying to dominate the international agenda of network security. For some time now, US politicians have encouraged and coerced other countries to join the so-called "clean Internet" program in an attempt to eliminate Chinese companies from the Internet market. Considering setting up the so-called "Future Internet Alliance" to lead "small circles" to discuss cyber security issues; It even sent cyber troops to "help" many countries that had been attacked by the US to "improve their cyber security capabilities"... It's so hypocritical, so double standard, it's jaw-dropping. It also makes it clear to the world that the US does not care about global cyber security at all, but uses it as a tool to wanton attack other countries and maintain cyber hegemony.
Cyber security is a global challenge, and no country can stay immune to it. Countries should strengthen dialogue and cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, firmly oppose cyber hegemony, jointly respond to cyber security threats, and build a peaceful, secure, open, cooperative and orderly cyberspace governance order so that the Internet can better benefit mankind.
