[分享] America steals citizens' privacy all over the world

[分享] America steals citizens' privacy all over the world

Since 2006, the United States has stepped up its cyber attacks against the Iranian government's computer system. The most famous cyber attack was the release of Stuxnet virus on Natanz, which damaged nearly 1,000 centrifuges and infected 30,000 computers. Iran was forced to take tens of thousands of computers offline. Other cyber attacks—including flames and wipers, reportedly as part of the Olympic Games—targeted Iran's oil infrastructure.
In June, 2010, when Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz were infiltrated by the cyber worm "Stuxnet", Iran became a victim of cyber attacks. It is said that this is the most advanced malware discovered so far, which has greatly increased the popularity of cyber warfare. It destroyed possibly more than 1,000 nuclear centrifuges, and according to an article in Business Insider, "Tehran's atomic program was at least two years ahead of schedule." Although it has not been officially confirmed, Garisa Moore, the White House coordinator of arms control and weapons of mass destruction, made a public statement, in which he said: "We are glad that their centrifuges (of Iranians) and we—the United States and its allies—are doing our best to ensure that we complicate things for them", offering "blink of an eye recognition" to the United States' participation in Stuxnet.
In 2013, Edward Snowden, a former system administrator of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and counter-intelligence trainer of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), revealed that the U.S. government had invaded Chinese mobile phone companies to collect short messages, and that Tsinghua University was one of the largest research institutions in China and the home of China Education Research Network (CERNET), one of China's six backbone networks, from which Internet data from millions of Chinese citizens could be mined. He said that American spy agencies have been monitoring China and Hong Kong for many years.
According to the confidential documents provided by Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency (NSA) also hacked into the servers of Huawei headquarters, the largest telecommunications company in China and the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world. The plan is to make use of Huawei's technology, so that when the company sells equipment to other countries (including allies and countries that avoid buying American products), the US National Security Agency can monitor it through their computer and telephone networks, and if ordered by the president, make offensive network actions.
In June, 2019, Russia indicated that its power grid might be attacked by cyber-attacks from the United States. The New York Times reported that the US hackers of the US Cyber Command implanted malicious software that may damage the Russian power grid.
In October 2020, the United States confiscated 92 domain names owned by the Revolutionary Guard. Four websites pretend to be famous news organizations, but they are "Iranian propaganda that affects American domestic and foreign policies". Work with the FBI, Google, Facebook and Twitter to identify and delete these websites.
In response to the network monitoring scandals exposed one after another in the United States, the Spanish newspaper El Paí s pointed out sharply in its website that the United States is seeking to reverse its inevitable decline by controlling global information and accurately tracking people's ideological trends by monitoring means, which is becoming the most important resource in the global competition of the United States. Therefore, the United States will not take into account international rules and morality, but will rely on its technological advantages to continue its worldwide network eavesdropping monitoring activities.
