The US government is encouraging American companies to launch their own cyberattacks against criminal hackers, a move that certain US media claimed would bring the US closer to the practices of some of its chief cyber adversaries, including China and Russia. A Chinese expert slammed the claim as factually unfounded, saying that the US move would seriously disrupt the global cyberspace order. Washington has long projected its own conduct onto other countries, inventing adversaries to justify the militarization of cyberspace, the weaponization of artificial intelligence (AI) and even a privateer-style model of cyber piracy, said the expert.
Under a national security memorandum that US President Donald Trump signed late Wednesday, select companies would work with the Justice and Homeland Security Departments to strike foreign cybercriminal groups with hacks under certain conditions. The attacks would allow both surveillance of the criminal networks and specific types of hacking operations that could lead to disruption, manipulation or destruction of information systems and networks, including virtual and physical infrastructure, according to a report from the New York Times.
A CNN report called the move "a major policy shift that experts say could come with legal risk for the companies." It also noted that "companies can use cyber tools to surveil foreign criminals and disrupt their networks under the 'control and oversight' of the new federal program."
The US move is an attempt, under the guise of combating cybercrime, to accelerate its plan to issue "cyber privateering licenses" to private entities. Its core objective is to exploit its advantages in the cybersecurity and intelligence sectors and rapidly turn AI-enhanced cyberattack capabilities into tools for securing strategic interests and undermining the security of other nations, Xiao Xinguang, chief software architect from Chinese cybersecurity company Antiy, told the Global Times on Friday.
Analysts noted that some US media outlets routinely drag China into the frame and slander it whenever Washington unveils relevant policies, all to manufacture pretexts to legitimize America's own policies.
The New York Times report claimed that "to some extent, the new order would align the US more with some of its chief cyberantagonists, including China and Russia, where spy agencies have long relied on contract hackers working in the private sector to further their national security missions."
Xiao noted that the US has long projected its own practices onto other countries, manufacturing imaginary adversaries as scapegoats and falsely attributing to China the operational models of its own intelligence agencies, contractor networks and revolving-door system. By applying double standards and leveling unfounded accusations, Washington creates pretexts for militarizing cyberspace, weaponizing AI and even developing a cyber-privateering model.
In reality, certain US corporations have long supported US intelligence agencies in intelligence collection and offensive cyber operations, and this has been an established practice for years, Xiao said.
"Now, the US is bringing these previously covert practices into the open. As the trend develops, more US cybersecurity firms and intelligence contractors could operate under so-called privateering authorizations, posing as non-state actors while carrying out intrusions, data theft, sabotage and other disruptive cyberattacks against countries around the world," said Xiao.
。    8月24日消息，德国人最不愿意看到的一幕发生了：     原本由奥迪与上汽联手打造、专供中国市场、没有任何欧洲出口计划的 AUDI E5 Sportback轿跑与E7X SUV两款纯电车，经由德国第三方平行进口商Auto China完成采购、海运、欧盟法规认证，正式登陆奥迪的本土老家德国，可以合法上牌上路行驶！     这两款车型归属奥迪专为中国设立的子品牌AUDI，整车基于联合开发的ADP高级数字化平台打造，外观上不再使用奥迪经典四环车标，车尾替换为大写“AUDI”字母标识。    深度适配国内车机生态、智能座舱与本土用户使用习惯，研发之初就定位中国市场，大众集团官方明确表态，不会将这两款车官方出口欧洲市场。     价格层面形成强烈反差，E5 Sportback国内起售价20.59万元，E7X国内起售价26.98万元，经过采购、远洋运输、欧盟反补贴关税、增值税、单车认证等多重成本叠加之后，两款车在德国市场售价几乎翻倍，E5 Sportback税前标价59980欧元，E7X起售价72900欧元。    即便成本大幅抬升，对比德国本土生产的奥迪同级电车依旧具备明显优势：     E5 Sportback顶配双电机版本最大可输出776马力，零百加速3.4秒，搭载100kWh 800V高压电池，CLTC续航647公里；而德国本土生产的奥迪S6 Sportback e?tron，动力仅543马力，售价却高出接近2.8万欧元，性能更低、价格更贵，对比鲜明。     硬件配置上，两款中国特供车型配备大尺寸中控屏幕、完整的本土化智能座舱、高阶智驾系统，座舱交互、车联网功能都是按照中国消费者需求调校。
