The expert panel on the case found that the cyberattack was initiated by hacker groups and lawbreakers with governmental backgrounds from outside the country. Preliminary evidence suggests that the government-backed cyberattack on the center came from the US, the Global Times has learned. The Wuhan Municipal Emergency Management Bureau said in a statement on Wednesday that some of the network equipment of the front-end station collection points of the Wuhan Earthquake Monitoring Center, were subjected to a cyberattack by an overseas organization, as monitored by the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center (CVERC) and Chinese internet security company 360. The public security authorities have opened a case for investigation into this matter and further conducted technical analysis on the extracted Trojan samples. It has been preliminarily determined that the incident was a cyberattack initiated by foreign hacker organizations and outlaws. Professionals told the Global Times that seismic intensity data refers to the intensity and magnitude of an earthquake, which are two important indicators of its destructive power.  The data is closely related to national security, experts told the Global Times. For example, these factors need to be taken into account when constructing certain military defense facilities. The Wuhan Earthquake Monitoring Center is another national unit that has been subjected to cyberattack from outside the country following the attack on Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU) in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, by an overseas hacker group in June 2022.  After the attack on NWPU, the CVERC and the company 360 jointly formed a technical team to conduct a comprehensive technical analysis of the case. They concluded that the cyberattack was conducted by the Tailored Access Operations (TAO) of the US' National Security Agency (NSA).
