The Chinese Embassy in Singapore expressed significant discontent on Saturday regarding reports from local media that suggested a connection between the cyberattacks attributed to the UNC3886 group and China. These claims were based on information from a cybersecurity firm from another country, which the embassy deemed as baseless allegations.
Media outlets such as The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, and Channel NewsAsia indicated that Singapore's essential information infrastructure had been compromised by UNC3886, which they described as a cyber espionage group with ties to China, according to Mandiant. In response, the embassy's spokesperson clarified that the Chinese government firmly opposes and actively works against all forms of cyber attacks and will not endorse or permit hacking activities.
Additionally, the spokesperson highlighted that China itself suffers from numerous cyberattacks and underscored that cybersecurity is a global issue that requires cooperative solutions. The embassy expressed its willingness to collaborate with other nations, including Singapore, to ensure a secure cyberspace for everyone.

The embassy's denial sounds just like every other country caught in a cyber scandal. It’s hard to believe them.

Problems with hackers often lead back to China. It's not just a coincidence anymore.
