Reported leak of Chinese hacking documents supports experts' warnings about how compromised U.S. could be
(YAHOO NEWS) – A reported trove of leaked Chinese hacking documents may have given the world a glimpse of how widespread and effective China's hacking operations could be.
More than 570 files and documents were posted to the developer platform GitHub last week, The Washington Post reported. They appear to document hacking activity across multiple countries and come from iSoon, which the Post identified as a private security contractor with ties to China's Ministry of Public Security.
"We have every reason to believe this is the authentic data of a contractor supporting global and domestic cyber espionage operations out of China," a cybersecurity expert, John Hultquist, told the Post.
