As the US-China tussle escalates over technology, Beijing has accused Washington of allegedly hacking Huawei's servers and conducting cyber attacks to steal critical data since 2009. According to Nikkei Asia, China's Ministry of State Security posted on its official WeChat account, revealing “key despicable methods by US intelligence agencies in cyberespionage and theft."" The post accused the US government of hacking into Huawei servers. The US Department of State has yet to comment on the Chinese accusation. The post further said that China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center extracted spyware called ‘Second Date.’ The ‘Second Date’ malware is cyber-espionage malware developed by the US National Security Agency, which operates covertly in thousands of networks in many countries around the world. With this spyware, “the US had obtained control over tens of thousands of devices and stolen a substantial amount of high-value data," the ministry said in the post.
