China responds to report on cyber attack
BEIJING, June 2 (Xinhua) – If overseas hacking organization OceanLotus is proven guilty for stealing government information, it will further evidence that China falls victim to hacker attacks, a Chinese spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying’s comment came after a report released Friday by Chinese Internet company Qihoo 360’s SkyEye Labs accused OceanLotus of launching “elaborately organized” online attacks on China’s marine agencies, scientific research institutions and shipping companies since April 2012.
“If this is true, it will just prove that China is a victim to hacker attacks,” Hua said at a daily news briefing.
She reiterated China’s opposition to hacking in any form and said the most effective way to cope with them is international cooperation.
China is willing to better cooperate with the international community on cyber space security on the basis of mutual respect and trust, formulate national norms to jointly combat cyber attacks and foster a peaceful, secure, open and cooperative cyber space.
