The US has found itself in an Oh shit no you did n’t internet espionage moment , blaming China and Russia for one million million of dollar bill in online stealing , the Washington Post reports . Their response ? Was n’t us ! It ’s like a geopolitical high school prom malicious gossip .
The setup is simple : a new government write up on international hacking — Foreign Spies steal U.S. Economic Secrets in Cyberspace — boldly fingers China and Russia , who in all frankly probably are responsible for most of America ’s pilfered data point . They ’re well the two most sophisticated ( to say nothing of large ) entities in online assaults . The object are diverse — US authorities agencies , potbelly , and universities , all of which sit on giant golden eggs of trade secrets and other noetic property .
The Russians worsen to even react to the accusation . China , however , is pissed , Reuters report : “ Identifying the assaulter without carry out a comprehensive investigation and making inferences about the assaulter is both unprofessional and irresponsible , ” say Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei . Hm , a comprehensive investigation such as “ Foreign Spies slip U.S. Economic Secrets in Cyberspace , ” which was acquire by 14 American spy agencies ?
Again , there ’s no reasonableness to doubt the US charge — China ’s beencaughtbefore . But it ’s also naive to assume the US is n’t doing the exact same matter . The Post cite “ a 2009 resume of Chinese computer security measure master , [ in which ] 89 percentage aver they were most upset about the United States penetrating their networks , but the U.S. government says its insurance policy is not to carry such espionage . ” Oh , right , it ’s not our official policy to hack China . Just like it ’s not China ’s official policy to attack the US , because who would ever borrow that official insurance policy .
