China reports rise in online attacks
According to the China National Computer Network Emergency Response Center (CNCNERC), between January and June this year, nearly 7.8 billion computers and 27,900 IP addresses were hacked from the United States. The CNCNERC are claiming that Anonymous is behind the majority of the attacks. Anonymous is adding to the claim by announcing that it plans to bring down the websites of five major corporations.
The US House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has recently announced that Huawei and ZTE (China-based firms) equipment may be used to perform espionage against the American people and advised US companies not to use equipment from either company. In addition, the Committee accused Huawei and ZTE of bribery and violation of immigration laws.
