World's Biggest Robbery: $600 BILLION a Year, Zero Arrests. #China ROBBING the #USA: A Comic Explainer The Warm-Up (1996–2005) (1st image) The Break-In (2006–2009) (2nd image) By 2006, the robbery went industrial. Per the CSIS survey, Chinese hackers cracked the State Department’s network in July 2006 and stole passwords, then hit the Defense Department’s NIPRNet in August 2006, reportedly hauling off 10 to 20 terabytes of data. In 2007 they breached the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. Insiders like Xiaodong Sheldon Meng (Quantum3D) and Xiang Dong Yu (Ford) walked out with military and corporate secrets worth tens of millions. They even allegedly bugged Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez’s laptop. This wasn’t random — it was a system. Caught Red-Handed (2010–2015) (3rd image) This is when the world caught China in the act. In January 2010, Google revealed “Operation Aurora,” a sophisticated attack from China that stole its intellectual property and hacked activists’ Gmail accounts — and hit at least 34 other companies including Northrop Grumman, Yahoo, and Adobe. In May 2014, the DOJ indicted five officers of PLA Unit 61398, the first-ever U.S. criminal charges against Chinese military hackers. Then came the OPM breach, exposing security-clearance files and fingerprints on over 21 million federal workers, operatives, agents and military personnel. China signed a 2015 deal promising to stop commercial IP theft — **and per the NSA, was violating it within a year** The Pivot (2016–2023) (4th image) Around 2016, China changed the game. The “Cloudhopper” campaign hacked managed service providers — the IT companies that run other businesses’ networks — giving Beijing a master key to hundreds of downstream targets across 12 countries, per the joint 2018 allied accusation. In 2018, Bloomberg Businessweek alleged malicious backdoor chips in Supermicro servers, though Apple, Amazon, and Supermicro strongly denied it. The bigger shift, described by journalist Nicole Perlroth, was strategic: **China stopped just stealing secrets and started lurking inside water systems, power grids, and pipelines** In May 2023, Microsoft and Western intelligence exposed “Volt Typhoon” doing exactly that in Guam, Hawaii, and Texas — pre-positioning for SABOTAGE.
