Chinese Websites Used As Launchpads For Cracking

An anonymous reader writes "A Washington Post article reports that Chinese networks are being used to breach hundreds of unclassified U.S. government systems. The article goes on to say that some analysts believe the activity to be tied to the Chinese government, although there is also some dissent." From the article: "Whether the attacks constitute a coordinated Chinese government campaign to penetrate U.S. networks and spy on government databanks has divided U.S. analysts. Some in the Pentagon are said to be convinced of official Chinese involvement; others see the electronic probing as the work of other hackers simply using Chinese networks to disguise the origins of the attacks."

I'm sure its them, and just using chinese systems to throw everyone off and redirect blame to the chinese government instead.

Easy solution would be to ban any ip address that originates in any undesireable country.

( before you freak on and mod me into the ground...yes I'm kidding about that)

You are a disingenous clown, like the rest of your medieval Creationist zombie army. I didn't say "all religion is ridiculous": YOU DID. That's your standard operating procedure: cover your abuse of religion with the apron of all religion, when only your specific abuse is under scrutiny. Most religion isn't worth taking seriously as a basis for rational decisions, but that's the problem of people who do so IN YOUR OWN PRIVATE AFFAIRS. It's only ridiculous when religious zealots like you insist that we balance truth, like evolution science, with fantasy, like Creationism. When you insist that my children, and my neighbors children, be taught your personal myths in public schools, because you're too backwards to understand that science requires more than an authority you respect to back it up.

You have taken every statement I've made, and changed them to suit your own strawman generalizations. I won't dignify your fake Christian persecution complex with any more direct responses: it's obvious you're so brainwashed that I have no hope in helping you learn something. So just accept this thread as fair warning: your Creationist nonsense might be good enough for you, but it's not science, and it won't be getting any "equal time", at least not until the Tooth Fairy gets hers. No matter how many PR successes you hijack, like "it's racism", or "we're persecuted", or "equal time" or "evolution is just a theory, too". You're welcome to your own ignorance, but I won't wallow in it.
