China Totally Rejects All Allegations Regarding the “Hijacking” of Internet Traffic

According to a report submitted to the US Congress this Wednesday, China had illegally breached the 15% of global internet traffic, which also included some confidential data exchange between NASA and the US Army. The allegation says that for 18 minutes in April a state-owned Chinese company “hijacked” the internet traffic. This report further warned that this action could have also ‘enabled severe malicious activates’ by the company, called China Telecom.

However, Now China totally rejected any accusation put by the US that it in any case "hijacked" any internet traffic, and neither was any ‘encrypted data’ referring to the emails sent to and from US military websites earlier this year was effected. One the other hand, this event is talked about as "one of the biggest hijacks" on the internet traffic in the history by the online security experts.

The report presented in the US Congress claims that 15% of global internet traffic was accessed through Chinese servers earlier this year, which quickly worried everyone about how the country now has the access to any confidential communication from US government bodies. Larry Wortzel, a US commissioner highlighted the threat that China would now "get the internet addresses of everybody that communicated" with the US armed services' chiefs of staff. Even more threatening were the words of a congress member Alperovitch, who said "No one except China Telecom operators" knows what actually happened to the traffic during those 18 minutes. "The possibilities are numerous and troubling, but definitive answers are unknown."
