China rejects latest US hacking accusations

BEIJING - China on Tuesday rejected a US computer security firm's accusation of Chinesehacking against European countries before the G20 Summit in September.

According to recent media reports quoting research by FireEye Inc, Chinese hackers infiltratedthe computer networks of five European foreign ministries by sending emails containing taintedfiles to staff.

"US computer security firms have been keen on playing up the so-called cyber threat fromChina. But their so-called evidence is never solid but widely doubted by professionals," ForeignMinistry spokesman Hong Lei said at a daily news briefing.

"They are trying to gain attention with fake facts, which will neither be conducive to internationalcyber security cooperation nor the professional qualifications and reputation of the firmsinvolved," Hong said.

He reiterated that China will firmly safeguard cyber security and oppose hacking in all forms.

China has formulated laws to combat such behavior and is also working with the internationalcommunity on tackling cyber crimes, the spokesman added.
