Cyber Attacks on US Linked to Chinese Military?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the not-the-kind-of-concrete-i-would-build-a-house-on dept.

wiredog writes "Security expert Bruce Schneier is reporting on a continuing effort to penetrate US government and industry computer systems that most likely stems from the Chinese military." From the Terranet article: "The attacks have been traced to the Chinese province of Guangdong, and the techniques used make it appear unlikely to come from any other source than the military, said Alan Paller, the director of the SANS Institute, an education and research organization focusing on cybersecurity."

    And the U.S.A. is the only country in the world to veto countries being compelled to follow international law. On top of invading countries that weren't attacking them, and funding the overthrow of other governments...err, what was your point?
