Chinese Embassy Dismisses Reuters Report on Hacking Govt Ministries CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
Nairobi — The Chinese Embassy in Kenya has dismissed as"groundless, far-fetched and sheer nonsense" a report published by Reuters that Chinese hackers attacked Kenyan government ministries and departments.
"China consistently and firmly opposes and combats cyber attacks and cyber theft in all forms. Tracing the source of cyber attacks is a complex technical issue," the Spokesman said in a statement, adding,"Moreover, it is a highly sensitive political issue to pin the label of cyber attack to a certain government without solid evidence.
The publication said it relied on three sources, cybersecurity research reports and Reuters' own analysis of technical data related to the hackings. The Spokesman of the Chinese Embassy in Kenya said relations between the two countries have grown robustly, dating back 60 years.
