Chinese Government Accused of Hacking Congress
Alotau writes "Chinese hacking is getting some serious Congressional attention. Two House members said Wednesday their Capitol Hill computers, containing information about political dissidents from around the world, have been hacked by sources apparently working out of China. Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf says four of his computers were hacked. New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith says two of his computers were compromised in December 2006 and March 2007. The two lawmakers are longtime critics of China's record on human rights."
Why are there Congressional computers with lists of political dissidents from around the world on them? Should I have checked 'Post Anonymously'?
twitter (and twitter I guess... uh), please read my reply to your original post. This is not about what OS you use, but what tools you use with your OS to secure your data effectively. It's not useful to turn this into another "Microsoft sucks!" diatribe.
The twitter monologues. Click on my homepage and be amazed.
If he's trying to steal karma, he's not doing a very good job. In fact, all of his sockpuppets have remarkably bad karma. Getting enough downmods to destroy the karma of a dozen different accounts is actually pretty impressive!
Twitter doesn't have a big Master Plan. (Dare I point out that assuming that he does is a very twitter-like mistake?) He just has a big ego. Hence his believe that it's OK to dominate discussions by fair means or foul. And, of course, his inability to admit that all his downmods are not the result of some big conspiracy, but simply the reaction of other users who think he's a jerk.
