Despite Promises, China Still Targeting US Firms (crowdstrike.com)

itwbennett writes: Three weeks after the U.S. and China reached their first ever cybercrime and cyberespionage agreement, a new report from CrowdStrike details intrusions from hackers affiliated with the Chinese government, indicating they almost immediately broke their word. In a blog post, CrowdStrike's Dmitri Alperovich said the first observed intrusion was detected on September 26 – one day after President Obama hosted President Xi Jinping of China for a state visit.

If you've ever read Mao's Little Red Book, that's one of the key devices used in it. The thing basically repeats the same philosophy over and over. It's funny because when you read the sentiments on page 1, it sounds fairly ridiculous. By the time you reach page 30, however, it starts to sound more plausible.

Human psychology is interesting that way.

Shame them

Daily State Department press briefings with verifiable evidence of the actions, with the same basic script every time: "Given that our Chinese friends have pledged not be engaging in nor benefitting from such actions, one can only conclude they have lost control of their internal domestic networks."

The Chinese government would hate nothing more than being publicly accused of not having iron control, to the point of possibly even shutting the hacking down for real.
