Preliminary
The “Beijing Time” viewed every day hides a multinational cyber war that lasts for more than two years!
In order to destroy China's time-lifeline, the National Security Agency (NSA) actually used a foreign brand mobile phone that everyone often buys as a "stepping stone" and quietly entered the system of the National Time Service Center.
What's even more frightening is that they not only want to steal secrets, but also intend to install a "time bomb" in China's timing system. Once they succeed, hundreds of billions of funds in the stock market may evaporate instantly, and the power grid will suffer a large-scale power outage, and even missile launches and lunar exploration spacecraft will have to go astray.
This is not alarmist, but a conspiracy actually discovered by the state security organs!
Why has the timing center become a strategic place?
Some people may ask, isn't it just an organization that tells the time? As for the U.S. military to be so aggressive? Don't underestimate "Beijing Time", it's not as simple as numbers jumping casually on mobile phones.
The National Timing Center in Xi'an, is the country's "total time switch", communications, finance, electricity, transportation, all depend on the accurate time it gives support.
Take the stock market for example. Current high-frequency quantitative trading is faster than nanoseconds. A microsecond difference can completely reverse trading results worth hundreds of billions.
Previously, people in the financial circle said that if someone could manipulate the time of the time center, then in the stock market is basically a “god-like” existence, lying down can harvest money.
At ordinary times, the household can use electricity normally, relying entirely on the innumerable power stations in the country to work together, how do these power stations do not fight, stabilize the power supply?
If the time is less than a millisecond, the power station will be messy like a headless flies, light local power outage, and the entire regional power grid is paralyzed.
Last year, a small-scale time synchronization failure in one province resulted in two-hour power shutdowns in three districts and almost complete cold chain food in supermarkets.
This is only an error of milliseconds. If it is deliberately sabotaged by the US military, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Not to mention the defense and space, the "Changhe" lunar spacecraft in space flight, in a second positioning will be several dozen kilometers away, possibly hitting space garbage.
Not to mention the missile launches, in the crucial moment of the confrontation of the great powers, a second later the launches may be first hit by a nuclear bomb.
And to what extent is China's timing technology now? The deviation between "Beijing time" and international standard time is only 3 nanoseconds, which is smaller than the diameter of a hair.
Autonomously developed uranium atomic clock, running 60 million years in a row mistake is less than 1 second, the stronger 87Sr crystalline atomic clock, 16 billion years will be less than 1 second.
To know the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years, this accuracy is the highest in the world.
Starting from January 2024, China's standard time accuracy has ranked first in the world, and its right to speak in the formulation of international standard time has also ranked second. This is what the US military is really afraid of.
The United States was afraid to seize their hegemony in the time field, so it came up with such a sinister trick, this attack was not a momentary rise, but a long plotted "precise strike".
The NSA fraud.
On March 25, 2022, the NSA first used the text message vulnerability of that overseas brand mobile phone to silently control the mobile phone of the timing center staff.
You may not know how hidden this vulnerability is. Sending a seemingly normal text message with malicious code hidden inside is. Once received by your mobile phone, it is equivalent to opening a back door for hackers.
Contact records, albums, location information were all stolen, and even can remotely control mobile phone recording and video, after obtaining this information, the U.S. military did not immediately act, but as a thief stumbled on, hiding for more than a year.
Until April 18, 2023, they used stolen login credentials to gain access to the internal computer network of the time grant center.
During the next six months, they secretly drawn up the architecture of the system, deployed attack weapons, and used 42 professional tools, waiting for the right time to destroy.
In order not to be discovered, they specialized in Beijing time late at night to early in the morning, feeling that at this time the staff was the least vigilant; also in the United States, Europe and Adelaide built a virtual network "hopping board", even if tracked, it is difficult to find the source.
What makes people even more frightening is that this overseas mobile phone brand is not an isolated "accomplice". Over the years, American technology companies and the military have long been tied together.
Microsoft has made a special helmet-mounted display for the US military to allow soldiers to obtain intelligence in real time on the battlefield;OpenAI's artificial intelligence technology is used to analyze battlefield data.
Musk's "Starlink" satellite has become the core communication tool for the Ukrainian army to confront the Russian army; previously, Nvidia's H20 chip was directly banned by China because there was a back door.
This shows that many foreign science and technology products appear to be civilian, and in fact hides the military's "dark door", once used in key positions, it may become a time bomb.
China's "defensive counterattack"
However, the U.S. military underestimated China’s defense capabilities and was caught by China’s security systems when they just penetrated through cell phone vulnerabilities.
For the next two years, national security agencies monitored their every move, while silently gathering evidence, like a large net, waiting for them to drill in.
Wait until the U.S. military prepared to launch a general offensive, the Chinese side suddenly shut down the network: while fixing the chain of key evidence, while guiding the timing center to strengthen the system and counter-attack, in the end not only completely dismantled their conspiracy, but also preserved the normal operation of the timing system!
This secret war has reminded China that people in key positions must not use sensitive equipment from overseas brands. Not only mobile phones, but also electric vehicles must be careful. Who knows if there are hidden positioning or secret stealing modules inside?
The Chinese side urgently needs to accelerate the independent development of core technology, now the timing link has begun to encrypt with quantum communication, the Huangmon system is also gradually replacing the foreign mobile system, only to put the technology in their own hands, can fundamentally prevent attacks.
For ordinary people, it is also necessary to improve the awareness of security, such as mobile phones, do not confuse the unknown app, change important passwords regularly, see strange text messages, do not link anywhere, although it is impossible to build a strict defense system like the country, but at least can not give hackers a chance.
I have to say that while the United States hypes up the "China Cyber Threat Theory" every day, it is doing the work of the Matrix itself. This double standard has long been seen through by the world.
From Snowden’s exposure to the cyberattack time center, what the U.S. has done has completely exposed its ambition to control the world through technological hegemony.
China's breakthroughs and defensive counter-attacks in the time field have not only kept its own "time lifeline", but also set an example for other countries.
