Cybersecurity risks are possible one of the most common crimes today. As we all live in the information technology age data is everywhere. I’m going to compare the United States with China when it comes to cyber security risks. In this link will be a cite that lists which nation has had more or less risk in cyber attacks of any kind. https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/cybersecurity-by-country/

The higher the number the better the score is. the United States placed 31% in cyber-attacks while China got a score of 3% safe. This mainly has to deal with the population and the size of China and the US. China has a higher population and different technology laws that are not as strict as the US. This is one of the main reasons China is a target of cyberattacks. Also, there’s more outsourcing in China some of the major manufacturing companies have their product made in China. This of course brings in lots of money that others want to cash in on. Looking at recent cyber attacks.

August 2021. Hacks initially attributed to Iran in 2019 and 2020 were found to be conducted by Chinese operatives. The cyberattack broke into computers across Israel’s government and tech companies. August 2021. T-Mobile suffered a data breach that led the hacker to access the personal details of over 50 million people. The hacker stated he discovered an unprotected router exposed on the internet allowing him access to the network. August 2021. Various Chinese cyber-espionage groups are responsible for the hacks of at least five major Southeast Asian telecommunication providers beginning in 2017. The attacks were carried out by three different hacking groups and are seemingly unlinked despite all groups having a connection to Chinese espionage efforts. July 2021. A widespread APT operation was discovered against users in Southeast Asia, believed to be spearheaded by Chinese entities. Researchers found a total of 100 victims in Myanmar and 1,400 in the Philippines, including many government entities. July 2021. The United States, the European Union, NATO, and other world powers released joint statements condemning the Chinese government for a series of malicious cyber activities. They attributed responsibility to China for the Microsoft Exchange hack from early 2021 and the compromise of more than 100,000 servers worldwide.

As you can see even the Chinese government is responsible for attacking other governments as well. https://www.csis.org/programs/strategic-technologies-program/significant-cyber-incidents
