Chinese Penetration of American National Assets

China continues it's covert operations against American interests; America Sleeps, Hands tied.

Chinas Secret Weapon
February 16, 2007:

The U.S. government has a growing problem with China's covert Cyber War against the United States. ...the action out of China is looking for military and technological secrets, data on how American military networks operate.

There are also attempts to plant special "time bomb" software that could be used in wartime. China is quite open about its intention to use surprise and deception in any future war with the United States.

So what does the U.S. government do, as the evidence against the Chinese builds up? No public statements are being made, but it is known that American Cyber War forces are studying the Chinese attacks carefully, nosing around in China as well, and preparing new Cyber War weapons.

At the same time, current laws prohibit many Cyber War techniques needed to thoroughly track enemy attacks (wiretaps, privacy and all that). So the Chinese move forward with their not-so-secret secret plan for making war via the Internet.
