CHINA-US: CYBER HACKING

 The New York Times reported on june 20, 2016 that the iSight intelligence unit of FireEye, a company that manages large network breaches, concluded recently that there has been a sharp drop in the almost daily raids on Silicon Valley firms, military contractors and other commercial targets. Kevin Mandia, the founder of Mandiant and now part of FireEye, which first detailed the activities of a People’s Liberation Army cyber-arm, called Unit 61398, that had been responsible for some of the most highly publicized thefts of American technology said “We still see semiconductor companies and aerospace firms attacked” but the daily barrage of attacks has diminished. He added “We still see semiconductor companies and aerospace firms attacked” and the theft of personal information from health care providers continues. The Chinese hacking groups have also focused on non-American targets, including Russia, South Korea and Vietnam, and have sometimes aimed at targets related to the disputes over Chinese claims in the South China Sea.
