- A massive data leak of 10 Petabytes from China's National Super Computer Center (NSCC) in Tianjin was announced by a hacker named 'airborneshark1' on a dark web forum.
- The hacker group 'Flaming China' claims responsibility for the hack, offering the dataset for sale, with samples proving the data's authenticity.
- The NSCC is a government-owned data center used for complex simulations, including military applications, weather analysis, and physical simulations.
- Leaked sample data includes classified documents, military weapon simulations (e.g., bunker buster ammunition, HIMARS truck, aircraft carrier), radar system data, and stealth technology references.
- The leak suggests a well-planned, long-term operation, possibly involving insider assistance, given the massive data extraction without detection.
- Coincidentally, high-ranking members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, involved in military R&D, were expelled shortly after the leak was discovered.
