Highly Alarming! China Tried to Hack Group Linked to THAAD Missile Defense System! WTH! (Video)

4-28-17

The spying on the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system was likely done for intelligence purposes, not to disrupt it, Hultquist said.

“If it were done in retaliation we’d expect some sort of follow on disruption or destruction of it, which we didn’t see. Typically, when we see cyber espionage actors, they prefer to stay quiet and remain on target where they can gather as much intelligence as possible,” Hultquist said.

JL: Can that be trusted and how would they know it was not for a disrupted/misdirected purpose?! WTH!

China tried to hack group linked to THAAD missile defense system

A cybersecurity firm in the United States believes state-sponsored Chinese hackers were trying to infiltrate an organization with connections to a US-built missile system in South Korea that Beijing firmly opposes.

Hong Kong (CNN)A cybersecurity firm in the United States believes state-sponsored Chinese hackers were trying to infiltrate an organization with connections to a US-built missile system in South Korea that Beijing firmly opposes.

“China uses cyber espionage pretty regularly when Chinese interests are at stake to better understand facts on the ground,” John Hultquist, the director of cyber espionage analysis at FireEye, told CNN’s News Stream.

“We have evidence that they targeted at least one party that has been associated with the missile placements.”

A spokesperson with South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs told CNN there was an attempted cyber attack last month on their systems originating from China, but would not comment when asked if THAAD was targeted.

The official said “prompt defensive measures” blocked the hackers.

China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs told CNN the Chinese government opposes any form of cyber attack, and fights against all form of hacker activity.

“This position is consistent, clear, and serious,” it said in a statement.

The statement reiterated China’s opposition to THAAD and called on the US and South Korea to halt its deployment. On Wednesday, the top US commander in the Pacific said the defense system would be operational in days.

When asked if the group could be North Koreans posing as Chinese hackers, Hultquist said his team has gathered plenty of evidence to prove the group’s origins, including their use of the Chinese language.

“We’ve known these actors for several years now and we’ve watched their activities.”  READ MORE
