Speculative remarks highly irresponsible, says China on BB heist

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lu Kang on Wednesday warned against making speculative remarks on the involvement of Chinese hackers in the Bangladesh Bank heist.

“Speculative remarks made up of ‘possible’ and ‘maybe’ are highly irresponsible and counterproductive to cyberspace cooperation among countrie

s,” said the spokesperson when asked for his comment on the allegation of a senator in the Philippines that Chinese hackers were possibly involved in the heist of the Bangladesh Central Bank.

Lu Kang was speaking at the regular press conference in Beijing, according to the Chinese foreign ministry website.
He said China's stance on cyber attack and hackers is consistent.
“We stand for an open, secure, cooperative and peaceful cyberspace. The Chinese government is resolute in fighting hacking activities,” said the spokesperson.

The Chinese government official said the country was stressing that anyone should be fully equipped with solid evidence before making accusations.
