Cyber Attacks against Tibetan Communities

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the that's-right-all-the-tea dept.

UnderAttack writes "The SANS Internet Storm Center reports about an increasing number of sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks against Tibetan NGOs. These attacks appear to be related to attacks against other anti-chinese groups like Falun Gong. 'There is lots of media coverage on the protests in Tibet. Something that lies under the surface, and rarely gets a blip in the press, are the various targeted cyber attacks that have been taking place against these various communities recently. These attacks are not limited to various Tibetan NGOs and support groups. They have been reported dating back to 2002, and even somewhat before that, and have affected several other communities, including Falun Gong and the Uyghurs.'"

    Hi there,

    Do you have sources for this 'information' ?

    Completely unrelated : is your paycheck in Chinese currency ?

    (Also, you sound like that guy that keeps sending me emails from Nigeria. Where are my 149.000.000.000 dollars ?)

    I think we're just trying to avoid falling victim to one of the classic blunders, namely, getting involved in a land war in Asia.
