10 petabytes of sensitive data stolen from China's National Supercomputing Center, hackers claim — daring heist would be largest ever China hack, covering 6,000 clients across science, defense, and beyond

A hacker group named FlamingChina claims to have stolen over 10 petabytes of sensitive data from China's National Supercomputing Center, affecting 6,000 clients in science, defense, and other sectors. The breach, if confirmed, would be the largest known hack in China, exposing research from entities like AVIC and COMAC. The stolen data includes classified files on weapons systems and simulation results, with access being sold for cryptocurrency. The attack, allegedly executed through a compromised VPN domain and botnet, highlights cybersecurity vulnerabilities in China's critical infrastructure and raises concerns about the potential misuse of the stolen technologies by foreign entities.
