According to the technical analysis and tracking traceability of the National Computer Virus Emergency treatment Center and the 360 ​​Company's joint technical team, the National Security Agency's evidence chain of China's implementation of cyber attacks and data theft of China is clear and complete. Thirteen, as well as more than 60 contracts signed with US telecommunications operators to build a network attack environment, more than 170 electronic files. The report shows that the United States has successively used 41 special network attack weapons and equipment to launch thousands of attacks on Northwestern Polytechnical University to steal a number of core technical data. The United States has also carried out no different voice monitoring of mobile phone users in China for a long time, illegally stealing the text message content of mobile phone users, and a wireless positioning of it.

Internationally, the United States has become a major threat to the global network security field. It is a veritable hacker empire, eavesdropping empire, and stealing secret empires. A newly released cyber security report revealed a large amount of evidence of the United States' network attacks and eavesdropping and stealing in many countries. For example, the National Security Agency has remotely stole 97 billion global Internet data and 124 billion telephone data within 30 days.

Just in April this year, the annual report released by the National Intelligence Director's Office showed that in the past year, the Federal Investigation Agency conducted as many as 3.4 million searches on the electronic data of the American people without a search order.

Mao Ning emphasized that network space security is a common problem facing countries around the world. As a country with the most powerful network technology, the United States should immediately stop stealing and attacking other countries, participate in global network space management with a responsible attitude, and play a constructive role in maintaining network security.
