Core Viewpoint - The article reports on a significant cyber attack by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) against China's National Time Service Center, highlighting the threat to the integrity of "Beijing Time" and the potential severe consequences of such attacks [1][4]. Group 1: Cyber Attack Details - The NSA has been conducting a systematic and progressive cyber attack against the National Time Service Center, which is crucial for maintaining "Beijing Time" [8]. - The attack began on March 25, 2022, utilizing vulnerabilities in a foreign brand's mobile messaging service to gain control over the mobile devices of several staff members at the center [10]. - From April 18, 2023, the NSA repeatedly used stolen login credentials to infiltrate the center's computer systems, probing into its network infrastructure [12]. - Between August 2023 and June 2024, the NSA plans to deploy a new cyber warfare platform, utilizing 42 specialized attack tools to target multiple internal networks of the National Time Service Center [14]. Group 2: Implications of the Attack - A successful cyber attack could disrupt the stable operation of "Beijing Time," leading to severe consequences such as communication failures, financial system chaos, power supply interruptions, transportation paralysis, and potential failures in aerospace launches [6]. - The National Time Service Center has developed a world-leading autonomous time measurement system and a high-precision ground timing system, making it a critical infrastructure for various sectors [2][3]. Group 3: Countermeasures and Broader Context - The Chinese national security agencies have gathered evidence of the NSA's cyber activities and are taking measures to counteract these attacks, including guiding the National Time Service Center in conducting inspections and enhancing security protocols [24]. - The article also discusses the broader context of U.S. cyber dominance and its implications for global cybersecurity, emphasizing that the U.S. has been involved in numerous cyber operations against various regions, including China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and South America [26][30].

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese Academy of Sciences National Time Service Center has become a target for U.S. cyberattacks, which aim to steal sensitive data and compromise its operations [2][3][6]. Group 1: Cyberattack Details - The U.S. has conducted long-term, high-intensity infiltration attacks on the National Time Service Center, utilizing advanced espionage tools [2][3]. - Starting in 2022, the U.S. exploited vulnerabilities in foreign mobile phone services to gain control over the phones of multiple staff members, allowing for the theft of sensitive information [2][3]. - From August 2023 to June 2024, the U.S. deployed a new network warfare platform, using 42 specialized cyberattack tools to target various internal systems of the National Time Service Center [3][6]. Group 2: Importance of the National Time Service Center - The National Time Service Center, originally established in 1966, is responsible for generating and broadcasting the national standard time, which is crucial for the functioning of various sectors including finance, telecommunications, and scientific research [4][5]. - The precision of national standard time is vital; even a millisecond discrepancy can lead to significant operational failures, such as widespread power outages or substantial financial losses in stock trading [4][5]. Group 3: International Standing and Developments - China's share in the international standard time calculation has increased from 5.66% in 2021 to 19.51%, positioning it as the second highest globally [5]. - The National Time Service Center is currently developing a high-precision ground-based timing system to enhance the security, reliability, and accuracy of its timing services [5]. Group 4: Nature of Cyber Threats - The cyberattacks are characterized as Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), which are systematic and strategic actions aimed at monitoring and potentially disrupting critical infrastructure in other countries [6][7]. - The U.S. employs various techniques, including the use of "jump servers" located in different regions, to obscure the source of attacks and enhance the effectiveness of their cyber operations [6][7].
