Chinese Cyberattack Is Serious Business

SEE HERE Do a little googling about the Chinese Cyberattack and what you find should concern you. The Chinese have been conducting a concerted and continuing cyber-espionage program against the United States and other Western nations. The objective appears to be technology. Peter Navarro, one of my favorite economic commentators said on his BLOG
China's objective was not that of a rogue hacker - to create chaos. Rather, the target was any intellectual property that would give Chinese enterprises a competitive edge - from trade secrets and new technologies to software such as Google's proprietary source code.Chinese cyberattacks are hardly new. China's military regularly hacks into America's defense networks to acquire military technologies. A glaring case in point: the highly sophisticated penetration last April of the Pentagon's $300 billion Joint Strike Fighter project.
It is clear that China represents a clear and present threat and should be treated as such. This kind of manipulation is part of a new and still emerging aspect of modern warfare called "Infowar." When I was employed in the defense sector I was exposed to some of the work is this area. It's serious business and Navarro and Google are only focusing on the tip of a very very large iceberg.
