Chinese Supercomputer Data Breach: 10 Petabytes of Classified Defense Documents Allegedly Stolen
A massive data breach, potentially the largest ever from China, has allegedly occurred at the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin. The stolen data, reportedly over 10 petabytes, includes sensitive defense documents and missile schematics. Cyber experts, after reviewing samples posted online by a hacker group calling itself FlamingChina, believe the entry and extraction were accomplished with relative ease over several months without detection. The leaked data is being offered for sale, with previews available for thousands of dollars and full access costing hundreds of thousands. This incident highlights potential vulnerabilities in China’s technological infrastructure.
