China News Service: Who is the "Matrix" and who is the biggest threat to global network security

　　On the issue of cyber security, a new round of smearing against China by the United States has begun again.

According to the "Wall Street Journal" report, the National Security Agency (NSA) recently issued a statement stating that "malicious cyber activities supported by the Chinese government pose a threat to the U.S. national security system, defense industrial bases, and the information network of the Department of Defense."

The agency also detailed the security vulnerabilities being used by malicious cyber actors for the first time.

　　However, the "Wall Street Journal" report was not led by the NSA. It also pointed out two facts-the U.S. military, defense contractors, and U.S. universities engaged in defense research have been "stealing military secrets from China" for many years. Regarded as an important national security issue; the United States has also frequently issued accusations about hackers against Russia. The NSA has hinted that the Russian government is trying to use one of the loopholes to steal new crown vaccine research and development materials.

　　The implication is that the cyber security issue is not so much a technical issue as it is an ideological issue.

　　NSA's notoriety is familiar to many people: the main implementer of the "Prism Project", the US top-secret surveillance program, the world's largest cyber-secret agency, and the center of the US intelligence agency.

Former NSA agent Snowden has publicly stated that NSA should be listed as "the worst criminal organization."

He wrote in an open letter titled "Declaration of the Truth", "The world has learned a lot of the truth about this irresponsible security organization in the near future, and even some illegal surveillance projects."

The NSA played a key role in the construction of the "Matrix Empire" by the United States, and countless cyber attacks and surveillance activities were launched, including naked surveillance of close allies.

　　The Brazilian President has recently gotten closer to the United States, and danced with the United States in suppressing Chinese companies.

A Brazilian think tank recently published a warning article on the Fórum website. It mentioned: In 2013, according to documents leaked by Snowden, the media claimed that the National Security Agency invaded Brazil’s Presidential Palace and Petrobras, apparently the United States Internet providers have put "backdoors" in their equipment to allow the United States to engage in espionage activities.

The think tank believes that Trump knows very well what he was talking about when he accused Chinese technology companies of espionage plans because this is what the United States did.

　　The "Wall Street Journal" also exposed the specific operations of the United States to eavesdrop on the world.

A small US company connected to the US defense and intelligence community has embedded its software into more than 500 mobile applications, enabling it to track the location data of hundreds of millions of users worldwide.

This small American company based in Virginia is called Anomaly Six and was founded by two American veterans with intelligence background.

The company’s marketing materials stated that they were able to extract location data from more than 500 applications, and part of the data was obtained through software development kits directly embedded in the applications.

If the consumer allows the application containing the software to access the GPS coordinates of the phone, the company can obtain the location information of the phone through a software development kit (SDK).

　　On the issue of cyber security, it cannot be assumed that the United States is right just because the United States shouts loudly, frequently and vividly.

More and more countries have come forward to expose the U.S. behavior in cyberspace.

China recently released an analysis report on China’s Internet network security monitoring data for the first half of 2020. The report pointed out that China’s cyber attacks from outside China continue to increase, and the United States is the largest source country for cyber attacks against China.

In terms of the number of captures of malicious computer programs abroad, the number of control servers for malicious programs abroad, the number of foreign denial-of-service attacks (DDoS), and the implantation of backdoors into Chinese websites, the United States ranks first.

　　From a technical perspective, the United States occupies a leading position in information technology software and hardware, and has the most software and hardware vulnerabilities. It has a natural advantage in using vulnerabilities to engage in cyber attacks and steal secrets.

From the perspective of values, the US eavesdropping on the world also occupies an unparalleled moral high ground.

U.S. politicians once said, "The Internet world is like the West in the barbaric era. The U.S. government should become the sheriff there." The National Information Infrastructure Action Plan of the United States also publicly stated: "The goal of opening up a cyber battlefield is to use the West. Values ​​rule the world and achieve ideological conquest."

　　The United States dares to think and do so. The United States is currently the biggest threat to the security and stability of global cyberspace.
