China slams US as world’s biggest villain for cyber espionage...

China’s official news agency has slammed the United States as the world's “biggest villain” following new revelations about Washington’s cyber espionage against Chinese companies and institutions.

“These, along with previous allegations, are clearly troubling signs. They demonstrate that the United States, which has long been trying to play innocent as a victim of cyber attacks, has turned out to be the biggest villain in our age,” said a commentary published in the Xinhua news agency on Sunday.

In his latest revelation published by the South China Morning Post on Saturday, former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden said US spying agencies have been hacking Chinese phone companies in order to access millions of private text messages in China.

According to the report, the NSA has also hacked China's top Tsinghua University and Pacnet headquarters in Hong Kong, which operates one of the Asia-Pacific region's largest fiber-optic networks, by using an electronic surveillance government program known as PRISM. Full story...
