world. – The United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom have on Monday accused China as responsible for a set of computer attacks in collusion with groups of cybercriminals dedicated to the extortion of companies and public bodies.
NATO condemns the events and calls China to responsibility, validating the complaint, but without directly accusing the Chinese regime of the crimes. This is nato’s first declaration against cyber aggression. The authorities’ statements, which do not propose any sanctions or retaliation against Beijing, mark the turn toward a tougher tone by Washington’s allies. Joe Biden’s Administration specifically accused the Asian giant of hacking Microsoft’s email systems, made public a few months ago.
“An unprecedented group of allies and partners, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and NATO, will join the United States in exposing the malicious cyber activities of the Chinese Ministry of Security,” a US Administration source said in a phone call to the press prior to the formal announcement.
