According to the latest official report, before the US National Security Agency launched a cyber attack on Xigong University, its Specific Invasion Action Office (TAO) had carried out tens of thousands of attacks on domestic network targets in China, controlled tens of thousands of network devices, and successfully stole more than 140GB of high-value data. Due to the seriousness of the case, the joint task force has reported to the relevant state departments. Here, let's talk about the "victims" of Xigong University. Its competent department is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. At present, there are 7 full-time academicians, and well-known alumni are distributed in many important fields such as metallurgy and materials science, strategy, economy, aerospace, artificial intelligence and even diplomacy. Among them, in the aerospace field, there is Academician Yang Wei affectionately called "Versailles" by netizens. This means that he took the college entrance examination after graduating from junior high school and was admitted to Xigong University at the age of 15.
Xigong University is the only key university in China that simultaneously carries out "three-life" engineering education and scientific research in aviation, aerospace and navigation. It can be seen that the eyes of Americans are vicious, and they are eyeing the scientific research institutions in China that are at the forefront in the high-tech field. Judging from Academician Song, the "father of J-10" who came out of Xigong University, and Yang Wei, who participated in the development of J-10 with Academician Song and became the chief engineer of J- 10 and J -20 independently, NSA is at least very interested in the development of advanced fighters in China. It should be reminded that the J-20 stealth fighter is still improving, and the two-seat J-20 has just been transferred to the test flight. Moreover, according to public reports, Academician Yang Wei and his team are now fully engaged in the Sixth Generation Aircraft Project.
As Academician Yang Wei said before, China has completely jumped out of the standard framework of aviation powers such as the United States, Russia and France in fighter research and development. What it is doing now is more strategic than just developing the sixth generation fighter, that is, formulating the "China standard" for future fighters, so that other countries can refer to our standard to develop fighters in the future. This completely reversed the situation that our army's J-10 third-generation aircraft and J -20 fourth-generation aircraft were marked with American F- 16 and F-22 standards respectively. Now that China has begun to master things that others don't have, including the United States, it's no wonder that American intelligence agencies have to conduct cyber attacks on key targets, including Xigong University, regardless of the risk of being discovered.
It should be acknowledged that, as the country of origin of the Internet, American intelligence agencies, military and other official departments have always beenNo. 1 in the field of "cyber warfare". Before the cyber attack reported by China, the most sensational thing that American intelligence agencies did was to attack Iranian nuclear facilities jointly with Mossad, which caused the latter to explode more than once and damaged the power supply facilities and internal facilities of the base. In addition, the intelligence agencies of the United States and Israel also conducted cyber attacks on Iran's space launch, which led to many failures in Iran's domestic satellite launch. Therefore, in this invisible cyber warfare line, fierce contests are taking place almost every day. Although at least 140GB of high-value data was stolen in this official report, the development of network technology in China has made rapid progress, and the strategic translocation of defense and attack may be inadvertently unknown to the outside world.
