Urgent warnings have been circulated throughout Nato and the European Union
for secret intelligence material to be protected from a recent surge in
cyberwar attacks originating in China.
The attacks have also hit government and military institutions in the United
States, where analysts said that the West had no effective response and that
EU systems were especially vulnerable because most cyber security efforts
were left to member states.
Nato diplomatic sources told The Times: “Everyone has been made aware
that the Chinese have become very active with cyber-attacks and we’re now
getting regular warnings from the office for internal security.” The sources
said that the number of attacks had increased significantly over the past 12
months, with China among the most active players.
