Norway Becomes First NATO Country To Accuse China of Stealing Military Secrets (softpedia.com)
An anonymous reader writes: A high-ranking general in the Norwegian Army and head of the Norwegian Intelligence Service E-tjenesten (Etterretningstjenesten) has made official statements accusing the Chinese government of launching cyber-attacks against his country. Gen. Lunde says that state-sponsored hacking groups have targeted many Norwegian companies during the past year. He says that these companies are suppliers and collaborators of the Norwegian army and that hackers have stolen information considered to be state military secrets. The statements were made to Norwegian TV station TV2 by General Lt. Morten Haga Lunde, who was detailing his agency's most recent intelligence report.
So this tiny little country is willing to step up and call out the state-sponsored hacking from China that undermines the military posture of NATO? Meanwhile on a golf course somewhere in the continental US... the executive branch is silent on the topic. Time to re-connect with my Norwegian college buddy to find out their countries "man up" secret so I might be able to share.....
Unfortunately for now China is pretty much the biggest shithead in the world.
So what you're saying is, you haven't been following the Republican debates?
Yeah, but this is not the Norway of the Viking era - they are completely emasculated - just like the rest of their continent. If Chinese feel the need to steal military secrets from NORWAY, they really have no standards. It's like car thieves stealing Chevy Metros. (There, the first time I did a /. car analogy to make my point, and yeah, Virginia, you're right, I do feel great about it.)
Trump has advocated torturing captive enemies as a deterrent against future attacks, and in a recent speech suggested that the way to end terrorism is to dip bullets in pig blood so muslims will believe getting shot sends them to hell.
The world loves to follow American politics. It's endlessly entertaining, the level of sheer insanity that drives it. But it is no way to run a country.
Naah, it'll take them years to decrypt words like Etterretningstjenesten so the Norwegians are pretty safe.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you...
Should be the anthem of any presidential election.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
