[People News] Recent announcements from hackers indicate that they have breached the Chinese Communist Party's supercomputing centre, offering over 10PB of data for sale on the dark web, which contains sensitive information related to aerospace and military sectors. The authenticity of these claims remains uncertain.
Reports from New Tang Dynasty reveal that screenshots shared on overseas social media show a post by a user named 'FlamingChina' on a hacker forum, claiming to have accessed the Chinese Communist Party's National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) research facility and downloaded over 10PB (approximately 10 million GB) of extensive data, covering topics such as aerospace, military, bioinformatics, and nuclear fusion simulation.
The hackers' advertisement states that buyers can acquire a complete list for 10XMR (Monero, a type of cryptocurrency), with the highest bidder receiving the entire dataset. The ad also provides an XMR address, email, and links to sample data.
The data samples reportedly include military secrets.
According to information circulating online, this advertisement was released as early as the beginning of February. It is reported that the hackers initially breached the supercomputing centre in Tianjin and subsequently infiltrated other nodes from there.
The National Supercomputing Centre in Tianjin is a government-owned data centre that provides complex data simulations, virtual testing systems, scientific computing models, and more for other state-owned enterprises and universities.
Experts have analysed some of the data samples released by hackers, revealing that the leaked data varies in value. Many of the documents are binary files that record test results, making it challenging to assess their true worth. Some data is labelled as 'public' information, while others are classified as 'confidential for ten years'.
Among the classified information is a military study focused on testing damage simulation systems for weapon systems against various armoured targets, including the HIMARS system and aircraft carriers. The research seems to aim at evaluating the effectiveness of high-penetration weapons on specific types of armour and targets, including optimal hit zones and variations in armour density.
Furthermore, some experts have reviewed a portion of the document list and concluded that if this leak is authentic, the security measures at the Chinese Communist Party's supercomputing centre are alarmingly inadequate.
The analysis points out that the leaked screenshots display the Windows operating system, including older versions like Win 7. Additionally, there is a lack of security isolation within the supercomputing centre, resulting in a scenario where 'breaching one area leads to breaching all areas'. This level of security is described as being at a 'fool's' standard.
Some experts assert that, based on the available information, it can be confirmed that the Chinese National Supercomputing Centre has indeed been compromised, but it remains uncertain whether more than 10PB of data has been leaked.
There are suggestions that downloading 10PB of data could trigger traffic monitoring alerts. However, others contend that if hackers could so easily penetrate the system without detection, then traffic monitoring may have already become ineffective.
Some have ridiculed the national supercomputing centre for its inadequate security measures, suggesting that the leaked data may include numerous military secrets related to aerospace, submarines, missiles, and more. It seems likely that 'someone will face consequences' in this 'makeshift troupe' of the supercomputing centre.
There was a previous incident involving the Shanghai Public Security Bureau where '1 billion citizens' data' was leaked. At that time, hackers also advertised and sold the data. Subsequently, as the relevant data was gradually released, its authenticity was confirmed over time.
In contrast to democratic governments that prioritise transparency, the Chinese Communist Party authorities have consistently refused to respond to such serious public safety incidents.△
