“A new
report shows that the US National Security Agency has targeted
intelligence networks of many countries for what it calls 'active
defense.'”
“A New
York Times report has revealed that the NSA has hacked into 100,000
foreign computers to target China, Russia, the European Union
members, as well as Saudi Arabia, India and Pakistan. China was the
most frequently targeted country on the list, with the NSA describing
its spying on the Asian country as 'active defense.'”
“All
countries that are not part of the 'Five Eye' alliance are considered
potential targets for use of this technique -- even Germany. The
'Five Eyes', often abbreviated as 'FVEY', is an intelligence alliance
between Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the
United States.”
“The
Chinese government in 2013 had accessed sensitive US military
documents, including the designs for F-35 fighter jet engines,
exhaust systems and radars, according to Der Spiegel. The US Army,
Navy, Marines and Air Force have already established their own cyber
forces, while the NSA, officially a military agency, leads the
American cyber warfare.”
