'China-Originated Hacking' Announced by US... China Retaliates, "US Hacking Groups Attacked China"
Chinese authorities claimed that their institutions were subjected to cyberattacks by a US hacking group. This statement came amid escalating US-China tensions following the US announcement that its government agency emails were attacked by Chinese hackers, and is interpreted as China striking back.
The Emergency Management Bureau of Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, announced on the 26th that "we received a notification that foreign organizations recently attacked some earthquake early warning data network equipment at the Wuhan Earthquake Monitoring Center."
China's state-run Huanbo Daily reported, "According to the secured primary evidence, the attack on the Earthquake Monitoring Center originated from the United States," adding, "Seismic intensity data is an important indicator to gauge the destructive power of earthquakes, and since military defense facilities must consider this, it is closely related to national security."
