U.S. intelligence agencies say they have discovered a scientific laboratory, which was used by Chinese militaries to conduct large-scale cyberespionage operations.
American authorities say that all attacks were planed in the Key Laboratory of Aerospace Information Security and Trusted Computing at Wuhan’s Computer Science School in central China’s Hubei Province.
USA have evidence that the laboratory developed a unique software platform called the SimpleISES Information Security Experiment System that is used in training and conducting cyberattacks.
SimpleISES allows to conduct powerful cyberattacks that can involve up to 2- hackers.
According to U.S. intelligence, SimpleISES funding comes from several military departments of China.
