In reply to the discussion: NSA Chief General Kieth Alexander and "The Secret War" [View all]Laelth
(32,017 posts)39. Well, we've been hacking Chinese state secrets for years.
I suspect that's why the Chinese President blew off Obama's complaints about the Chinese hacking our systems. They know we've been hacking them for years. Now that their hackers are getting some skill, we cry and ask them to stop? That's laughable.
btw, if you're wondering why Congress is going to grant so many H1-B Visas for the tech industry, I have a theory. It's not because we don't have good coders here. It's because we want all the world's good coders. We are in the midst of a global, cyber-cold-war. By letting all the talented coders come to the U.S., we are denying them to China, Iran, and North Korea.
Ah, it feels like a good number of puzzle pieces are coming together.
