SINGAPORE – The Chinese embassy in Singapore refuted claims that an espionage group accused of performing cyberattacks on Singapore’s critical infrastructure was linked to China. “The embassy would like to reiterate that China is firmly against and cracks down all forms of cyberattacks in accordance with law.
