这篇报道揭示了中国不断扩大的网络攻击行动，同时也指出了一个突显的漏洞。中国的网络攻击活动在国际舞台上引起了极大关注，其背后的技术和策略日益成熟。然而，报道也突显了一个令人担忧的现实，即中国在进行网络攻击时也面临着一些漏洞，这可能成为其他国家进行反制的机会。这不仅强调了网络安全的紧迫性，也提醒了国际社会在制定反制措施时应保持高度警惕。在数字时代，强调国际合作与规范制定的重要性，以维护全球网络安全与稳定。
The Chinese hacking tools made public in recent days illustrate how much Beijing has expanded the reach of its computer infiltration campaigns through the use of a network of contractors, as well as the vulnerabilities of its emerging system.
The new revelations underscore the degree to which China has ignored, or evaded, American efforts for more than a decade to curb its extensive hacking operations. Instead, China has both built the cyberoperations of its intelligence services and developed a spider web of independent companies to do the work.
Last weekend in Munich, Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director, said that hacking operations from China were now directed against the United States at “a scale greater than we’d seen before.” And at a recent congressional hearing, Mr. Wray said China’s hacking program was larger than that of “every major nation combined.”
“In fact, if you took every single one of the F.B.I.’s cyberagents and intelligence analysts and focused them exclusively on the China threat, China’s hackers would still outnumber F.B.I. cyberpersonnel by at least 50 to one,” he said.
U.S. officials said China had quickly built up that numerical advantage through contracts with firms like I-Soon, whose documents and hacking tools were stolen and placed online in the last week.
The documents showed that I-Soon’s sprawling activities involved targets in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India and elsewhere.
