There is no possible way hackers—Chinese or otherwise—can access top-secret information by simply breaching through the firewalls of government or military installations, insists a much-admired Internet professor on Wednesday.

Professor and former director of the National Computer Network Emergency Response Team Fan Binxing swore that there's no logical or scientific basis for the U.S. military to blame China's government or armed forces for breaching other countries' servers since the majority of them are too far out of reach for China to infiltrate with just a remote Internet connection.

The U.S. and other Western media, quoting insiders of domestic intelligence services, have been all too quick to condemn hackers (who all seem to originate from China while other reports claim they're either from Russia or Turkey) for repeatedly breaching military installations and government networks in more than a hundred nations worldwide.

"Networks containing sensitive intelligence are impenetrable, because normally the militaries isolate their networks completely from the public domain to prevent hacking," the well-renowned academician for the Chinese Academy of Engineering and expert on cyber security reasoned out glibly.

He also argued that in the cases where key intelligence had been pilfered, undercover agents or spies within the military or government installation are probably the ones responsible for the hack, because you simply cannot use mere hacking technology alone to remotely breach through secure servers housing classified records. It's either that or it was an inside job.

In addition, the Beijing-based Internet security specialist contends that China has become the central hub for hackers globally who use the country's antiquated networks (that are full of system and security vulnerabilities) to deploy cyber attacks to other countries. He told in an interview with China Daily that hackers often used China-based computer systems as their personal launch pad for attacks, which confuses the U.S. military on where they truly originate.

According to a Symantec security report on April 15, about 71% or nearly one-third of all the computers breached in the Asia are from China, which has netizens numbering around 300 million. Furthermore, 38% of all attempted hacks worldwide come from the United States, which is incomparable to the mere 13% hacks coming from China, the report disclosed.

Fan Binxing then theorized that the U.S. military is merely singling out China because it wants to make its accusations look believable and credible. The bottom line here is that the U.S. is currently grasping at straws when it comes to recent cyber security fiascos and the ever-growing hacker menace.
