The Invasion of The Chinese Cyberspies

HorsesAss writes "Time Magazine has an article up entitled 'The Invasion Of The Chinese Cyberspies and the Man Who Tried to Stop Them', which outlines how Chinese PRC is cracking DOD networks and downloading massive sets of files detailing every aspect of military planning and practice." From the article: "The hackers he was stalking, part of a cyberespionage ring that federal investigators code-named Titan Rain, first caught Carpenter's eye a year earlier when he helped investigate a network break-in at Lockheed Martin in September 2003. A strikingly similar attack hit Sandia several months later, but it wasn't until Carpenter compared notes with a counterpart in Army cyberintelligence that he suspected the scope of the threat. Methodical and voracious, these hackers wanted all the files they could find, and they were getting them by penetrating secure computer networks at the country's most sensitive military bases, defense contractors and aerospace companies."

There are massive destruction weapons in Irak...

It feels like someone is trying to find an excuse to go on war with China.

I am not anti-american. I have friends and customers in USA. But I guess it's time to have a wake-up call, my friends. Anyway, if it's not war, it's outsourcing.. tough luck.

And Rumsfeld sez: "We're fighting them over there, so we don't have to fight them over here."

The neocons we've got running the Pentagon can't even beat the Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Instead they've started a war in Iraq they've screwed up so bad that we can't win. Instead of at least focusing our defense against an actual country, China. No, for China the neocons have "Most Favored Nation" trading status, so they can get our industrial base, AND control our debt market.

I wonder if this was part of the plan George Bush Sr hatched when he was Nixon's first ambassador to China, "opening them up". Open fire, more like it.
