美国和世界各国要求对中华人民共和国在网络空间采取的不负责任、破坏性和破坏稳定的行为追究责任。这类行为对我们的经济和国家安全构成了重大威胁。中华人民共和国国家安全部培植由犯罪的合同黑客建立的生态系统，为自身牟利从事国家支持的活动和网络犯罪活动。此外，美国政府与我们的盟国和伙伴一起，正式确认隶属国家安全部的网络行动人员利用微软交换服务组件Microsoft Exchange Server的漏洞进行大规模网络间谍活动，肆无忌惮地侵入成千上万的电脑和网络，其中大多数属于民营部门的受害者。根据今天司法部（Department of Justice）对国家安全部3名官员和一名下属合同黑客提出的指控，美国将责成中华人民共和国恶意网络行动人员在网络空间不负责任的行为承担后果。
除了中华人民共和国关于不参与为商业目的从事网络盗窃知识产权活动的承诺外，国际社会已就什么是网络空间负责任的行为明确提出期待的要求和指导准则。负责任的国家不会肆无忌惮地破坏全球网络安全，也不会有意庇护网络罪犯——更不会提供支持或与之沆瀣一气。这些合同黑客使各地政府和工商业为被盗窃的知识产权，支付赎金和减轻网络安全的危害付出数十亿美元的代价，而国家安全部却将他们列为支薪人员。
美国正与我们的伙伴和盟国齐心协力促进网络空间负责任的国家行为，抗击网络犯罪活动，反对数字专制主义。我们还支持各国为保护本国数字网络建设自身的能力，调查和惩办恶意网络行动人员，并参与网络政策的国际对话。上述努力将促进全球网络空间的安全和稳定。美国国务院坚持推进这项议题。我们呼吁所有希望提高网络空间稳定的国家与我们一起进行这些努力。

Responding to the PRC’s Destabilizing and Irresponsible Behavior in Cyberspace
PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
JULY 19, 2021
The United States and countries around the world are holding the People’s Republic of China (PRC) accountable for its pattern of irresponsible, disruptive, and destabilizing behavior in cyberspace, which poses a major threat to our economic and national security.  The PRC’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) has fostered an ecosystem of criminal contract hackers who carry out both state-sponsored activities and cybercrime for their own financial gain.  In addition, the United States government, alongside our allies and partners, has formally confirmed that cyber actors affiliated with the MSS exploited vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server in a massive cyber espionage operation that indiscriminately compromised thousands of computers and networks, mostly belonging to private sector victims.  As evidenced by the indictment of three MSS officers and one of their contract hackers unsealed by the Department of Justice today, the United States will impose consequences on PRC malicious cyber actors for their irresponsible behavior in cyberspace.
Apart from the PRC’s direct commitments not to engage in cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property for commercial gain, the international community has laid out clear expectations and guidelines for what constitutes responsible behavior in cyberspace.  Responsible states do not indiscriminately compromise global network security nor knowingly harbor cyber criminals – let alone sponsor or collaborate with them.  These contract hackers cost governments and businesses billions of dollars in stolen intellectual property, ransom payments, and cybersecurity mitigation efforts, all while the MSS had them on its payroll.
The United States is working with our partners and allies to promote responsible state behavior in cyberspace, counter cybercrime, and oppose digital authoritarianism.  We are also providing support to countries that are committed to building their capacity to protect their digital networks, investigate and impose consequences on malicious cyber actors, and participate in international conversations on cyber policy. These efforts will enhance global security and stability in cyberspace. The State Department is committed to driving this agenda forward, and we call upon all states that wish to see greater stability in cyberspace to join us in these efforts.
