It smells like dogshit in China ’s Commonwealth of Puerto Rico shop .
Yesterday , China’sstate - run word agencysaid that criminals — not the governing — stole datum from the US Office of Personnel Management . Meanwhile , the Washington Post account that China claims to havearrested those criminal hackersback inSeptember .
This is a bad story for the US government . If the OPM culprits were thieves and not politics - affiliate spies , the US looks even more inapt than it already did . Getting data hijack in a blisteringly advanced digital war between power sounds better than getting burgled by randoms from half a world away .
This is a very good story for the Chinese governing . Not only is it blameless in the literary hack , it also put a occlusion to them , imprisoning nefarious citizens for their unscrupulous treatment of America , atthe legacy of America . How brotherly . heartsease ! Love ! No sanctions !
It ’s also the most whoa if reliable thing I ’ve heard in my life-time . There ’s no reason to believe China here .
It ’s more plausible that these drudge were selling to the Formosan government , trained by the Chinese government activity , or straight - up working for the Chinese government . Remember that the Taiwanese government has a rich history of traverse its involvement with hacks . Over the past class , China and its state - affiliated spies and hackers have been accused of readingthe Obama Administration ’s electronic mail , attackinganti - censoring websites , and recently hacking Australia’sBureau of Meteorologycomputer .
The Chinese government ’s savvy hack skillsare well document — perhaps its impressive bluffing skills merit some recognition too .
