Note that this news comes from The Epoch Times, which belongs Falun Gong, an anti-PRC organization.
The Chinese government (CCP) declared Falun Gong illegal on 1997. The two parties have been "attacking" each others ever since. Falun Gong once interfered TV satellites in China. And Chinese government has banned all websites related to Falun Gong (using Great Firewall, of course).
All the sites in the screenshot are related to Falun Gong. That's why they are on the "target list". This is not evidence that China is hacking U.S. agencies. I am not saying that China has never done that - I mean even if China is doing that, they will do it secretly and will never disclose it on a propaganda TV program.
I personally think this news is misleading by not disclosing all the information.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoThe targets are related to Falun Gong (which is explicitly mentioned in the article). More importantly, the source of the attacks is a hacked machine at the University of Alabama. Sure, all of the politics about China and Falun Gong are not mentioned, but they really aren't completely relevant to the fact that China is using American computers for their hacking.
- anigbrowl 15y agoAre you sure about that? How do you know they're not just spoofing the address?
- mcantelon 15y agoGiven that Falun Gong is led by a fellow who has claimed he can levitate and control people's actions with his mind, I would want some third-party collaboration of their "evidence". Pretty easy to cook up screenshots and such.
- alnayyir 15y agoThe word you want is corroboration unless you mean for a third-party to help Falun Gong in their fight against the PRC. To corroborate: to make more certain; confirm. Example: He corroborated my account of the accident.
