China says: Found ‘irrefutable evidence’ of US hacking computers of its State agency

China’s Ministry of State Security has announced that it has uncovered “irrefutable evidence” of cyberattacks by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) targeting the country’s National Time Service Center, a critical facility responsible for timekeeping. The allegations, detailed in a statement on the ministry’s official WeChat account, claim that the NSA has been exploiting vulnerabilities in employees’ mobile phones since March 25, 2022, to steal sensitive information.

China’s national security authorities said that investigations showed that private servers all over the world were used to conceal the source of the attacks, the ministry said.
