HU's Chinese Hackers Attack the U.S.

In the never ending saga of Chinese Hackers attacking the U.S. we get another news story. Yet, for all the concern over what the Chinese are doing to our infrastructure, the popular media is more likely to cover stories on who Fathered Anna Nicole's baby. Why this would be more important than a foreign government attack the U.S. is beyond me. I can see it now, once the Chinese take over the U.S. they will import their brand of law... how many Americans will get their livers harvested for being Christians? Unbelievable!!!!!!

Attacks by Chinese hackers on US military computer infrastructure have reached the level of sustained cyber-warfare, and are likely to be government-backed, a senior US Navy official said last week.

"They will exploit anything and everything," the official said, according to the report. The attacks are so deliberate that "it's hard to believe it's not government-driven".

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Defence admitted its systems have been penetrated at least nine times since 2002, with five of the successful attacks taking place last year.

Beginning in 2003, US defence agencies have been the target of a series of intrusions, code-named Titan Rain, that was traced to a team of researchers in Guangdong Province. Titan Rain was first reported publicly in 2005
