China’s official statement has not come yet
But China’s Foreign Ministry has not yet responded to Reuters’ request for an official statement on this. However, Beijing has previously denied such claims by the US government and others of using hackers to break into foreign computer systems. Verizon Communications, AT&T and Lumen Technologies also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Wall Street Journal said the attack was carried out by a Chinese hacking group for the purpose of gathering intelligence. American investigators have dubbed it a “salt typhoon”. U.S. law enforcement earlier this year disrupted a major Chinese hacking group called “Flax Typhoon,” months after confronting Beijing about widespread cyber espionage in a campaign dubbed “Volt Typhoon.” (Reuters)
