A hacker has allegedly breached one of China’s supercomputers and is attempting to sell a trove of stolen data | CNN

A hacker has allegedly stolen over 10 petabytes of sensitive data, including defense documents and missile schematics, from a state-run Chinese supercomputer. The hacker, identified as FlamingChina, claims the data originates from the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin and is attempting to sell it for cryptocurrency. Cybersecurity experts who reviewed samples of the leaked data believe it to be genuine, though CNN cannot independently verify the claims.
