Quick Summary: China claims that America’s National Security Agency used sophisticated cyber tools to hack into an elite research university on Chinese soil. In this particular case, the unit appears to have used a host of hacking tools (41, to be exact) to break into Northwestern Polytechnical and steal data. The report also mentions the exploitation of Bvp47, a backdoor in Linux that has been used in previous hacking missions by the Equation Group—another elite NSA hacking team.
