In the latest cyber drama, the Chinese mainland has pushed back against U.S. reports that link state-backed hackers to a major breach of U.S.-based cybersecurity firm F5. 🚫💻
At a regular press conference on Thursday, Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Chinese mainland, spoke out clearly. He said the territory opposes hacking and fights it in line with its laws, while firmly rejecting politically motivated disinformation.
"Regarding this kind of groundless accusations made with no evidence, we have made our position clear more than once before," Lin Jian stated when asked about reports alleging that Chinese state-backed hackers were behind the F5 breach.
For now, the Chinese mainland is standing by its stance, calling on all sides to base cyber discussions on facts and solid evidence. As digital tensions rise, observers say the next chapters in this cyber showdown will be watched closely. 🌐👀
