"Hackers Attack Via Chinese Web Sites"
“Hackers Attack Via Chinese Web Sites”
“Web sites in China are being used heavily to target computer in the Defense Department and other U.S. agencies, successfully breaching hundreds of unclassified networks, according to several U.S officials."
Some members of the Pentagon in the United States are very concerned about computer attack systems by the Chinese military. The Pentagon has no doubt that many Chinese officials has been involved in such an illegal matter. Some Chinese officials were interviewed but they avoided to giving any information concerning this serious problem that involved the United States authorities. The FBI stated that the case is under investigation and they declined to provide any further information. There was a Chinese official that was aware of the problem, but he said that there was no proof of these computer systems attacks. The same officer that represents the People’s Republic of China said, “Is this an orchestrated campaign by PRC or just a bunch of disconnected hackers? We just can’t say at this point.”
The Pentagon is working in taking action and to adopt new detection software programs. At the same time, the U.S. officials are implementing a better training of computer security professionals.

A good post.
This is an interesting article. Who were we attacked by? China? Or someone using Chinese computers as a weapon? What was the reality of this attack? Are all nation states secretly planning and probing for some kind of netwar? Are we the only power that is preparing for some kind of online attack by a rogue nation state of terrorist organization?
