U.S. Is Chiefly to Blame for Disturbing Security of Cyber Space: KCNA
Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- The public in different countries and regions of the world and cyber experts of the U.S. are becoming increasingly vocal censuring it for perpetrating criminal acts abusing cyber space.

Snowden, former contractor of CIA, disclosed at a press conference that it was none other than the U.S. which started the state sponsored hacking attack in the world. McAfee, founder of an American information security company refuted the U.S. administration's claim that cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment was made by north Korea. He noted that it could be done by those inside the U.S., adding that he knew hackers but would not mention them.

As data show, the U.S. attached importance to the cyber war worldwide and has invested a huge amount of funds in it.

The U.S. set up a huge cyber command at the U.S. Defence Department and has augmented its position and authority.

The Washington Post reported that in 2013 the Defence Department decided to enlarge the cyber command more than five times that in the past and beef it up as a cyber force capable of mounting hot attacks.

At present the U.S. regards cyber space as a means for preemptive attack on other countries. The U.S. administration and Pentagon consider cyber space as the fifth sphere for dominating the world and are seeking hegemony over it.

Having totally transferred the U.S. forces' actions in cyber sphere to offensive cyber strategy, the U.S. is working hard to realize its ambition to dominate the world at any cost.

The U.S. singled out not only those countries opposed to it including the DPRK and Iran but also regional powers, including Russia and China, and even its allies, its rivals, as targets of its cyber strategy which involves vast fields of politics, economy, military, education, culture, etc.

The development of weapons for cyberattack has been stepped up and a huge amount of funds have been spent for its purpose with the approval of the U.S. Administration and its Congress.

The U.S. became the first in the world to mount state-sponsored cyberterror attack on other countries.

A typical example of the above-said attack was the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities by dint of vicious virus of Stuxnet in 2010.

2011 alone witnessed over 230 cyberattack operations of the U.S. targeting different countries.

Recent reports released by software companies making virus vaccine said that it is the United States where the development of software for computer hacking and vicious code for cyber attack is more rampant than any other countries.

The U.S. is abusing its latest scientific and technological successes as war weapons for realizing its ambition for world domination. It is a serious and undisguised challenge to the development of human civilization and to the international community desirous of the world's peace and stability.

The United States is a disturber of the world's peace, an arch criminal disturbing the security of cyber space and chieftain of cyberterror attack and cyberwar maniac.

The U.S. scenario to dominate the world through a cyberwar is nothing but a foolish daydream.

The U.S. would be well advised to properly understand that today's latest IT is not its monopoly.
