BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

The United States could head toward using its cyber warfare weapons to paralyze whole vital systems in several realms, as information shows that it is using its software indiscriminately around the globe, even against its allies.

    The National Security Agency is using cyberspace as a realm for attacks they wage indiscriminately against normal internet users

The US National Security Agency is using a typical weapon to target China, Chinese cybersecurity experts unveiled for the first time, saying the NSA is using it to monitor and hijack users' social media accounts, emails, and communication information, the Global Times reported Tuesday.

According to the Chinese newspaper, internet security company, 360's findings are the second in less than a month to prove the NSA's ongoing large-scale international cyber operations targeting various countries around the world, particularly China.

A 360 report published Tuesday said Quantum attack was a cyber hijacking tool designed by the NSA to attack Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Amazon users, among many other sites, including Chinese Tencent's QQ social media platform.

Information obtained by the Global Times says the stolen data includes profiles, account passwords, private documents, databases, information about online friends, communications information, and emails, in addition to granting the attackers access to the targets' microphone and camera.

The Quantum attack system is the NSA's most powerful tool and one of its most important capability systems for cyber intelligence warfare, as it could hijack national network communications to carry out a series of complex network attacks.

The NSA's confidential documents, according to the Chinese outlet, show the details of how Quantum attack system monitors users' information on Yahoo, Facebook, and Hotmail, which makes for proof that the US is monitoring internet users around the world.

The NSA attacks users across the globe, including Washington's allies, through undifferentiated attacks from the US, which could not have been achieved without the support of a huge and complex network of cyber weapons platforms.

Chinese cybersecurity analysts also noted that the US cyber-warfare strategy may not be limited to cyber-theft, and Washington could head toward more ambitious endeavors.

They also warned that the US could use hardware or backdoor programs in their victims' devices and achieve remote control on targets, including military systems, servers in the field of national public security, and civil aviation transportation.
