China accuses Cisco of supporting US cyberwar efforts

  • China is attacking secret surveillance programs of the U.S. government with harsh words from its state-controlled press, accusing Cisco of helping the U.S. in cyberespionage.

    The criticisms come a week after the U.S. indicted five Chinese military personnel for allegedly hacking into several U.S. companies for trade secrets. It marks the first time the U.S. has tried to criminally charge China for state-sponsored cyberattacks. But so far, the indictments have done more to damage relations between the two nations, compelling China to accuse the U.S. of hypocrisy with its own spying programs.

    China hit back again Monday when state-controlled media released a government report about the "unscrupulous" U.S. surveillance activities.

    "These operations have flagrantly breached International laws," said the report, adding, "They deserve to be rejected and condemned by the whole world."

    The government report, authored by China's Internet Media Research Center, largely cited leaks from former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, as well as articles written by foreign press groups. But it added that China had carried out its own investigation over several months and confirmed the spying activities.

    The report claims that China has been the main target of U.S. surveillance programs. "Chinese government offices are a particular target of U.S. spy operations," the report said, adding that local banks, telecommunication companies and schools have also suffered cyberattacks from the U.S.

    China Youth Daily also published an editorial Monday alleging that U.S. networking gear supplier Cisco had aided the spying activities. While the company has helped build China's Internet infrastructure, Cisco also deliberately installed backdoor surveillance tools into its equipment, the editorial said.

    The company "has played a disgraceful role, becoming a pillar to help spread the U.S.'s power over the Internet," it added.

    The editorial demanded that all Cisco equipment be checked for security threats and that China create an organization to inspect networking gear, especially imported products.

    China is already moving in that direction. The government said last Thursday that it would create a "vetting system" to check major IT products for security threats. Products that don't pass will be banned from the Chinese market.

    Cisco sent a letter earlier this month to U.S. President Barack Obama, asking that he work to restore trust in U.S. technology sales. This came after reports that the National Security Agency intercepted telecommunication equipment from Cisco and others to plant surveillance tools inside.

    Cisco could not immediately be reached for comment.


    BIZ
    .BIZ is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. It is intended for registration of domains to be used by business. The name is a phonetic spelling of the first syllable of business. The .biz TLD was created to relieve some of the demand for domain names in the .com top-level domain, and to provide an alternative for business whose preferred domain name in .com had already been registered by another party. There are no specific legal or geographic qualifications to register a .biz domain name, except that it must be for "bona fide business or commercial use". It was created in 2001 along with several other domains as the first batch of new gTLDs approved by ICANN in the expansion of the Domain Name System following the increased interest in Internet commerce in the late 1990s. The TLD is administered by NeuStar and registrations are processed via accredited registrars.
