US To Charge Chinese Military Employees With Hacking
jfruh (300774) writes "The U.S. federal government will announce today indictments of several employees of the Chinese military with hacking into computers to steal industrial secrets. The indictments will be the first of their kind against employees of a foreign government. Among the trade secrets allegedly stolen by the accused are information about a nuclear power plant design and a solar panel company's cost and pricing data."
yeah it's weird in that regard that they went for opening that pandoras box... the chinese will just indict in response.
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
the pot and the kettle.
that I can sue the NSA for trying to crack my machines and that the USA will extradite the NSA employees to the UK so that they can be tried in our courts ? Do the people at the USA DOJ understand the meaning of the word ''irony'' ?
This is more outlandish than even something that most political satire writers would have dreamed up.
Does anyone else find this particularly ironic and posturing after the "Cisco Complains To Obama About NSA Adding Spyware To Routers" article earlier?

"2016 can't come fast enough." You're an idiot if you think that changes ANYTHING AT ALL.
On the contrary, every person should be held criminally liable for their actions regardless of instructions from "superiors". This would be an excellent precedent, let's get rid of the idea that a person can hide behind an organization or some other conspiracy and not be responsible for their own actions.
