China Crafts Cyberweapons

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the virtual-arms-race dept.

MitmWatcher writes to mention that a recent report by the Department of Defense revealed that China is continuing to build up their cyberwarfare units and develop viruses. "'The PLA has established information warfare units to develop viruses to attack enemy computer systems and networks,' the annual DOD report on China's military warned. At the same, Chinese armed forces are developing ways to protect its own systems from an enemy attack, it said, echoing similar warnings made in previous years."

    My post contained nothing but documented facts. I guess that must have offended the neo con free-trade-with-our-enemies crowd that's selling out our country.

    Maybe your job will get outsourced to your country's enemies next?

    You know, I realize that this article rings strongly of "China is going to attack the united states", but this comment:

    If you're in IT for a government agency in the US, it's your duty to ask 'what does China know about my critical infrastructure that I don't know?'


    Speaks strongly of "I'm an American and the Chinese are all fucking evil and wanting to attack me". Why China? Why not every other fucking country in the world? Maybe you didn't mean it this way but I see it all the time about <insert politcally understood 'bad' country here>.
