BREAKING: Biden administration blames China for massive Microsoft Exchange email hack, discloses other cyberthreats from Beijing.

Even though the finger-pointing was not accompanied by any sanctions of Beijing, a senior administration official who disclosed the actions to reporters said that the U.S. has confronted senior Chinese officials and that the White House regards the multination public shaming as sending an importance message.

The European Union also blamed China for what it said were malicious cyber activities with “significant effects” that targeted government institutions and political organisations in the EU and its 27 member states, as well as key European industries., the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the hacking was “conducted from the territory of China for the purpose of intellectual property theft and espionage.

by private sector groups. An administration official said the government’s attribution to hackers affiliated with China’s Ministry of State Security took until now in part because of the discovery of the ransomware and for-profit hacking operations and because the administration wanted to pair the announcement with guidance for businesses about tactics that the Chinese have been using.

Chinese nationals have attacked the EU and the UK as well. The EU became alarmed when 'significant effects' targeted European industries and the UK's navy and defense industries have been the victims of Chinese aggression.'

'The U.S. has credible evidence that China has engaged in cyberextortion, including a ransomware attacks for milliosn of dollars. Cyberthreats mount as Beijing goes on a rampage.'

Well, no big thing, it’s another case of US tricks on China and Russia. US gov prepares to cyberattack China and Russia, so they blame China and Russia for doing so first, then they have the reason to “fight back”

i blame BTS

Although I don't think it's true, many Chinese living in the United States say that many things in the United States are written 'made in China'.China has a solid foundation and the Chinese people love peace.

Is freedom of speech in the United States? I'm afraid my account will be banned. I dare not make objective comments!

What is Biden going to do?

So do you think China's power has become extraordinary?

Biden aint gonna do shit China has Hunters laptop and they are ready to put it out on state tv

China: I'm tired.

Wait'll they hear about this whole COVID thing LOL

China and US should work together on vaccine and economic crisis or something like that

Is this just another ploy to get more Americans to hate the Chinese?

When donaldtrump was US President, Biden loved China Now he hates So Donald trump was 100% correct IvankaTrump

China is behind phonetapping fiasco in India.

Sometimes we can speculate or just ignore, but we will never know the truth

Where's the Nado333 TomatoNation?

China is Western Taiwan.

Can blame them for Covid as well.

We’ll never catch them. They all look the same

It appears some systems need no maintenance as any failure is attributed to China or someone else. These espionage allegations don't make a distinction to the fallibility of man made systems

Please take action against China, and protect U.S. farms from China.

You can blame them for this but not Covid?

mchovden1785 I blame Microsoft for Microsoft vulnerabilities. No one else.

But what about Israel's NSO hacking campaign against people Iphones? Israel gets away with everything.

Not Russia!! Clowns 🤡

Yet we will continue to do business with them. Cut all ties to China. Take money and greed out of the equation.

hide yo kids hide yo wife

I guess China’s last check to Biden bounced.

Big Deal! What's Biden going to do about it, not one fucking thing! He's divided our military & it has the worst morale since the 80s. All the experience soldiers have gone or been ran off. Russia & China know that this country is Fucked up so they can do whatever they want!

Donald Trump never would’ve allowed this to happen.

Aqui um deputado disse isso 6 meses atrás, foi duramente criticado e quase ficamos sem vacina…. Cuidado hein….

oh no, Biden? blames China? the horror! i remember the insane media uproar when a very recent president also “blamed China” 🤔

Blame America!!!⬇️⬇️🌎

What is China doing to ensure our Democratic Republic?

China:Oops,i didn't know that before you tell me

Used to be innocently ignorant thinking *leaders weren’t on the same team. Oligarch is powerful. Mainstream media is only deception. Truth

China is our enemy. You either know it, or you will know it.

ccp_is_terrorist had already spied on different countries for a long time in order to ease their infiltration. The world should wake up earlier and find some concrete solution to combat this shameless countries which never care about reputation.

Can anyone explain to me why is China and many others having a field day on hacking the USA under this administration..

WAY MORE TO COME. STAY TUNED.

Lmao🤔, you mean USA? Isn't this the country which even wiretaps the Chancellor of Germany Merkel😂?

Data is the new oil. Crypto is the new gold.

McCarthyism is alive and well.

Inside job by a US hacker that happens to work for the gov...

It’s a fair game. United States spies on its own citizens and the world. And then lies to Congress about it.

China is a treat to humanity.

B b b b but daddy Donald said that Biden was working for China

Doesn't surprise me at all.

How many Chinese citizens on work visas employed by Microsoft were in involved in Microsoft Exchange hack?

But 'they're not bad folks, folks'.

Biden is not going to do anything about it.

Raiding holy places is never acceptable. Say stop to this raid. StopTheRaid

Time for the world to unite to subdue China. Don't pay their debts, start campaigning in US to start weeping Americans off Chinese cheap goods, start penalizing companies with massive operations in China. China needs to be nipped in the bud NOW! Notice they're in Pakistan now?

Now BytedanceTalk tiktok gotta go

Some journalist should start investigating Chinese owned TikTok where misinformation is kept on the platform and those that push back are banned and videos taken down. There are lots of medical professionals who are constantly being suspended while misinformation thrives.

GQP now protecting China cuz Biden is against China. Just incredible lmao

Holy crap, Biden and his team have guts!

That’s racist. There’s already enough Asian hate! Oh wait Biden is president. Way to put America first president! Lol.

Great. And now, what exactly is the Biden administration doing to China in retaliation? Hopefully something meaningful and not just a bunch of diplomatic language…

There’s a new👇anti hacking system that the U.S. & Allies can use to put an end to these pestering thieving sons of bitches..

Wonder when the US is going to take the on going cyberwar seriously. We have the talent in the US, time to harness that power and exact back the same. EYE FOR AN EYE. China needs to stop thinking they can rule the world.

Are we supposed to believe that China and Russia are the only aggressors in cyber warfare? We never get to hear about the US attacks. Maybe China are just responding to an American attack but we will never know I guess.

Russia and China are scared to death of Biden🙄😂😂😂😎

First Russia, now it's China.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 trump blame Russia Biden blame China... Yall starting this again 🤣🤣🤣

Good thing Microsoft installs all those security updates every day.

More US bullshit....

Microsoft Exchange is a shitty old server platform filled with prehistoric legacy code. What could possibly go wrong? Just delete the crap.

I hope it is true!

About time…

The Microsoft Exchange email server hack compromised tens of thousands of computers around the world earlier this year. The U.S. says other cyberthreats include ransomware attacks from hackers affiliated with the Chinese government.

We need to cyberhack the crap out of Russia and China. Why are we waiting?

China bots are weak and predictable

Better write them a letter, with a list of businesses not to attack 😂🤣😂🤣

Cloud based backups are useless against Ransomware even if the catalogue isn't encrypted no 1 wants to wait days for a restore. Now China is after ANOTHER CLOUD based product most used by Office 365 connecting to exchange servers. SOME IT SERVICES SHOULD NEVER BE ON THE CLOUD

At least the election was the safest and most secure of all time 😂🤣🤣😂. MakeItMakeSense

So not action from President Biden. That’s his history of ineffective leadership!

Time to build a firewall and make China pay for it.

Looks like Joe Biden has his hands full with China. Sure would have been nice if Trump had done anything to stand up to China himself.

I don't trust China either
