【新唐人2014年06月13日訊】美國國安局和美國安全公司日前確定，又一支中共部隊對美國、歐洲和日本的政府機構、軍事承包商和太空衛星行業研究公司，進行黑客攻擊。他們系統SA性入侵已經七年。這個部隊番號是61486，位於上海閘北區。
美國《紐約時報》6月9號報導，就在幾週前，美國司法部起訴5名中共軍官之後，加州網路安全公司「雲反擊」(CrowdStrike)又發佈一份新的報告，提供更多證據顯示﹕中共從外國機構盜竊商業和軍事機密的廣度和野心。
這份報告說，「對幾十個公共和私人機構的攻擊，可以追溯到一群上海黑客那裏」。
美國國安局和它的合作夥伴已經確定，這些黑客們來自中共61486部隊。研究人員表示，受害企業可能有數百家，乃至數千家。
報導說，黑客常常使用狡猾的誘餌。比如，一封電子郵件附件，看起來像是來自法國圖盧茲一家瑜伽工作室的小冊子。一旦郵件附件被打開，它就允許黑客繞過網絡安全系統並盜竊被嚴密保護的技術。
而隨著美國曝光中共黑客入侵行為，美國和中共就網絡間諜的衝突正在升級。
雙方的緊張已經醞釀多年，但是去年變得更加尖銳，當時美國網絡安全公司「曼迪昂特」(Mandiant)確定﹕中共「61398部隊」是數千起針對外國公司攻擊的黑客源頭。
美國「紐約城市大學」政治學教授夏明認為，美國安全公司和美國司法部相繼曝光和指控中共黑客，對於美國對華政策有著重要意義。
紐約城市大學政治學教授夏明：「我覺得，美國最新披露的信息，第一個，讓美國企業更多的了解他們的脆弱性。我想這個對美國企業的影響是非常大的。尤其現在美國企業對中國的投資環境，都在出現各種懷疑和悲觀的時刻。我想這種事報導出來，應該對美國企業可能會引起很大的警覺。而美國企業的反應，應當說又會成為美國企業支持美國政府政策的轉變。」
夏明相信，從去年「曼迪昂特」(Mandiant)公司曝光61398部隊，到上個月司法部起訴5名中共軍官，到現在「雲反擊」(CrowdStrike)曝光61486部隊，是美國政府有意在釋放信息。
夏明：「美國現在跟中國關係有些地方在惡化。你可以看到歐巴馬政府在強化他的對華政策，尤其是在強化他對中國和俄國聯手進行某種回擊和報復。我相信，美國公布的這些信息，跟我們看到的，不久前美國司法部起訴五個中國軍官是有關係的。」
夏明表示，對美國的公共輿論來說，當有兩傢俬營公司發現同樣問題的話，它的說服力是很強的。它對公眾輿論的影響力是很大的。夏明認為，美國政府如果想在對華政策進行調整的話，第一需要贏得商業界支持，第二需要贏得公共輿論的支持。
夏明認為，美國和中共的網絡間諜活動有根本的區別。美國的間諜活動基本上是用於國家安全。
夏明：「但是中國不一樣。它針對美國的目標，不完全是從國家安全角度來說，它很多還從商業利益，從美國技術專利等等。這裡面可以看出中國國家，它對它的國營企業的扶持，用國家機器通過諜報機關，來偷取信息情報，來扶持它自己的國營企業，這裡面恐怕跟美國是不一樣的。」
此外，夏明指出，美國所有的做法，都受到另外一個權力的監控。美國的所作所為是由行政部門進行運作，而行政部門會受到國會的很多批評和監督。
美國官員說，國安局和它的合作夥伴正在追蹤中國20多個黑客團體，其中一半以上是中共軍隊，因為它們闖入公共和私人公司，包括衛星、無人機和核武器元件製造商，到科技能源公司和研究機構。
「雲反擊」(CrowdStrike)公司共同創始人喬治•庫爾茨(George Kurtz)說，「如果你看看我們在中國追蹤的所有團體，（上個月的）起訴只是冰山一角。」

US Exposes Yet Another Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
Hacker Unit
U.S. National Security Bureau and U.S. security companies,
recently identified another CCP unit working
against many networks.
These included European, American and Japanese
government entities,
military contractors and research companies in the space
and satellite industry,
all of which have been systematically broken
into in the past seven years
A US NY Times report on June 9, just weeks after
the Justice Department indicted five members
of the Chinese army,
accusing them of online attacks upon United
States corporations,
a new report came through from CrowdStrike,
released on Monday,
offering more evidence of the breadth and ambition
of China´s campaign to steal trade and military
secrets from foreign victims.
The report stated, attacks made against dozens
of public and private sector organizations,
were traced back to a group of Shanghai-based hackers.
The National Security Agency and its partners have identified the hackers as Unit 61486.
The researchers say, the list of victims could number in the hundreds, if not thousands.
The report claimed hackers always use some clever
cover up to deceive its recipient.
One email attachment looked like a brochure for a yoga
studio in Toulouse, France,
the center of the European aerospace industry.
But once opened, allowed hackers to sidestep their victim´s network security and steal closely guarded satellite technology.
With exposure of CCP hacker intrusions by the US,
US and CCP are upgrading their network spying tactics.
Tensions have been simmering for many years, but grew more
heated last year when American CybersecurityCo, Mandiant,
identified Unit 61398 as source of thousands of attacks
upon foreign companies.
The City University of New York, professor of political
science Xia Ming,
believes that it´s important for the U.S. policy of security
and Justice Department,
to make clear and expose the alleged CCP hackers.
Xia Ming: “I think firstly, the latest disclosed information from
US, makes US companies more aware of their vulnerability.
I believe it has a big impact upon the business side
connected to the US.
Considering now, how US companies have all kinds
of skepticism and pessimism to China’s investment
environment right now.
I think this report could cause U.S. companies to take more
action within the areas of vigilance.
While U.S. companies´ reaction may make changes on the
support to US policy from US enterprises.
Xia Ming believes, with Mandiant´s exposure of the five
CCP officers from Unit 61398, and being sued
by the Justice Department,
and also the exposure of unit 61486 from CrowdStrike,
the U.S. government now intends to release information.
Xia Ming: “U.S. and China´s relationship is worsening
in some places.
You can tell the Obama government is strengthening it´s policy
towards China,
especially in their return and revenge ploy of the alliance
between China and Russia.
I believe it is related, with the released information from US
and U.S. Justice Department suing the five Chinese
military officers."
Xia Ming said that it is highly persuasive to public opinion,
when two private companies find the same problem.
It could have a huge impact upon public opinion.
Xia Ming believes, to adjust the US policy to China, first the
government needs to win the support in the business community;
secondly it needs to win the publics support of opinion.
Xia Ming also believes, that the big difference in cyber espionage
between United States and China,
is US espionage is basically for national security.
Xia Ming: “But China is different. China targeted more at business
interests and US technical monopoly, etc, but not only from
the national security aspect.
We can tell the CCP used state machine technology through
intelligence agencies,
to steal information and support its state-owned
enterprises, which is totally different from US."
In addition, Xia Ming pointed out that all U.S. practices
are monitored by another power.
U.S. operations are carried out by the executive branch; and the
executive branch can be criticized and supervised by Congress.
US officials say the N.S.A. (National Security Agency)
and its partners,
are currently tracking more than 20 hacking groups in China,
with over half of the units connected to the People´s
Liberation Army, as they break into public and private
sector companies,
ranging from satellite, drone and nuclear weapon component
makers, to technology and energy companies and research groups.
George Kurtz, co-founder of CrowdStrike:
“If you look at all the groups that we track in China,
the indictments are just the very tip of the iceberg,”
