The attacks aimed to disrupt China's high-precision timing services, potentially causing chaos in various industries. Allegations include the use of 42 cyber weapons and tactics like exploiting SMS vulnerabilities and deploying cyber warfare platforms. The MSS accuses the U.S. of cyber hegemony and violating international cyberspace rules, referencing previous cyber warfare incidents between the two countries.
