【新唐人2014年10月31日訊】一段時間以來，美國聯邦調查局一直指控中共當局暗中支持黑客，從美國政府和企業竊取數據，但都遭到了中共的激烈否認和駁斥。日前，一個由美國眾多知名網絡安全公司組成的安全聯盟，發佈的最新研究報告顯示：一個由中國政府支持，擁有最尖端黑客技術的網絡間諜組織，多年來不僅入侵全球政府和企業竊取商業數據，還長期針對大陸境內外的異議人士，以及民運團體，發動網絡攻擊和監控。
據《美國之音》報導，一個以諾瓦塔(Novetta Solutions)公司為首，微軟、思科、火眼、賽門鐵克等十多家美國知名網絡安全公司組成的「網絡安全聯盟」，10月28號發佈報告指稱，已經查明一個代號為「Axiom」的中國黑客間諜組織，在過去六年來，一直在對全球政府機構、企業（包括財富500強公司）、記者、戰略能源相關組織、人權團體和大陸境內外的異議人士，發動網絡襲擊和監控。截止到目前，已經有至少4萬3千臺電腦被植入了惡意軟體。
稍早前，美國聯邦調查局（FBI）也曾發出警告稱，一群擁有尖端技術的中國政府黑客，長期從美國企業和政府竊取有價值的重要情報。
FBI指出，由國家支持的「Axiom」網絡間諜組織，不但資源充足，還有著專業、精良的技術和豐富的網絡作戰經驗，比去年被曝光的中共軍方61398網絡戰部隊更為隱蔽、機敏和複雜。
對此，諾瓦塔等公司組成的「網絡安全聯盟」得出了和FBI 完全一致的結論。據《華盛頓郵報》10月28號援引諾瓦塔公司首席執行官拉蒙達尼（LaMontagne）的話指出，「Axiom」看來是由國家支持的，也是他們「所見過的中國網絡間諜組織中的最尖端的技術」。
此外，「安全聯盟」的網絡專家和FBI還發現，與61398部隊的任務不同的是，「Axiom」組織更側重對異見人士的監控和工業間諜活動，極有可能屬於中共負責國內安全的情報部門。
旅美中國社會問題研究人士張健：「中共所有派出的黑客部隊這些單位和人員，他們所幹的事情無非是幾方面，一在政治方面打壓對手、抹黑對手。第二在經濟方面套取大型跨國公司的經濟情報和信息來增加自己本國的經濟實力。第三，對於流亡海外的異議人士、宗教人士進行大面積監控和抹黑行動，這樣來凸顯在海外流亡人士他們被中共所鎮壓是有道理的。」
很多異議人士和政治評論人士也曾表示，他們經常會發現自己使用的電腦出現異常情況。
張健：「當很多記者採訪我的時候，我自己本身的電腦就受到攻擊了，我家裏的網絡也受到攻擊。我也發現很多記者的網絡有很多很多的問題。當然我們無法到現場證明你的電腦是受到攻擊的，但是從我們採訪的情況所持續的效果來看，我能判斷出來，你的電腦應該遭受到了攻擊。」
除了異議人士，海內外很多民運組織和人權團體也發現，每逢舉辦涉及對中共當局提出抗議或揭露真相的活動時，都會受到各種的干擾與破壞。例如今年6月2號舉辦的「全球紀念六四25週年網絡大會」，就遭到了中共當局空前的攻擊。不但參加者的電腦被木馬病毒入侵、電子郵件被盜用，開會使用的通信網站Paltalk的伺服器更是被攻擊到癱瘓，實況轉播的網站也無法使用，致使會議的規模及直播受到了極大影響。
中國民主陣線主席盛雪：「我們做了不少的防範，但是必須得承認它的攻擊的力量太強大了！在會議開始的那個時間，我們全部都被『踢』出會場，然後每一個人的Paltalk在自己的電腦上就崩潰了。甚至我們有的朋友電腦就完全黑屏，就打不開了！」
另據《觀察網》報導，在即將到來的11月，美國總統歐巴馬將前往北京參加亞太經合組織首腦會議。有消息說，會議的議程預計將包括網絡安全問題。但結合此前中共當局的態度，外界對此並不樂觀。

Chinese Cyber Espionage Group Reported
For some time, the FBI has accused CCP-backed cyber
espionage activities of stealing government and industry data,
but the CCP has denied such activities.
An alert from FBI, obtained by Washington Post, indicated
that a coalition of security researchers has identified a Chinese
cyber espionage group that appears to be the most sophisticated
of any publicly known Chinese hacker unit and targets not only
U.S. and Western government agencies but also dissidents
inside and outside China.
Novetta Solutions, a cybersecurity firm that heads the coalition,
reported on Oct.28 that, the research consortium has
detected Axiom malicious software on at least 43,000 computers
around the world belonging to law enforcement and other
government agencies, journalists, telecommunication and
energy firms, and human rights and pro-democracy groups.
Earlier, FBI has warned that a group of technologically
sophisticated Chinese government hackers has been engaging
in stealing important data from industry and governmental
agencies for a long time.
Axiom’s work, the FBI said in an industry alert this month,
is more sophisticated than that of Unit 61398, a People’s
Liberation Army hacker unit that was highlighted in a report
last year, added the Washington Post.
Peter LaMontagne, chief executive of Novetta Solutions, said,
“Axiom’s activities appear to be supported by a nation state…"
“These are the most sophisticated cyberespionage tactics
we’ve seen out of China."
The researchers concur with the FBI’s conclusion, noting that,
unlike Unit 61398, Axiom is focused on spying on dissidents
as well as on industrial espionage and theft of intellectual
property, said the Washington Post.
US-based Chinese Society researcher Zhang Jian:
“Undoubtedly, these Communist hackers’ purposes are:
One, to suppress political opponents and discredit opponents;
Two, to obtain valuable economic data of large multinational
corporations to increase their own economic strength;
Three, to conduct massive surveillance and smear campaigns
against exiled dissidents and religious figures,
so to highlight the justifiable suppression of these overseas exiles."
Many dissidents and political commentators have said that
they often find abnormal situations in their computers.
Zhang Jian: “Whenever there are interviews by reporters,
my computer was attacked, so was the Internet at home.
I found many reporters’ Internet were problematic too.
Of course we can’t verify the cyber attack, but according to
the interview and the effect on the computer,
I can tell the computer was attacked."
In addition to dissidents, many pro-democracy organizations
and human rights groups around the world have also
experienced various interference and destruction
during protest or truth revealing events against the CCP.
For example, in the Global Network Conference to commemorate
the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre this June,
participants experienced Trojan viruses attacks and unauthorized
use of e-mail; even the communication service site,
Paltalk, was down, and the Webinar was also down,
greatly affecting the scale and broadcast of the meeting.
Federation for a Democratic China Chairman Sheng Xue:
“We were prepared, but the attack was too powerful.
Right at the beginning of the online meeting,
we were all kicked out of the meeting room.
The Paltalk was completely crashed.
Some of us experienced complete black out on screen.
The computer was completely off."
According to China Observer, US President Barack Obama
will travel to Beijing to attend the APEC summit in November.
Sources said that the agenda of the meeting is expected
to include cyber security issues.
But based on the responses of the CCP in the past,
it is not optimistic.
