China accused of computer hacking ( We are screwed OMG)
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=281052

A top French security official claims that Chinese hackers have retrieved information from government information systems.

France’s national defence office has confirmed the incursion saying there is proof of Chinese involvement but no indication of Chinese government participation.
snip...
The Times, The Independent and The Financial Times newspapers in London have all reported that Chinese computer hackers had infiltrated British government networks, drawn up a plan to disable the U.S battle carrier fleet through a cyber attack and acquired top secret information out of computers in German government ministries.
more...
Intel and Microsoft Google all our tech companies are doing business with the Cyber attackers ...Anyone see battlestar gallactica

1. Well, since our super-secret government networks seem to be operated...
...by the kinds of people who use their cats' names for passwords and regularly leave laptops containing top secret info in the john at their local strip club, I can't say I'm entirely surprised.

2. Also read: Chinese hackers form US military cyber attack plans: report
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1763254

Chinese military hackers have drawn up a plan to disable the United States' battle carrier fleet through a cyber attack, British newspaper The Times said Saturday, citing a Pentagon report.

The blueprint is part of a plan by Beijing to establish "electronic dominance" over its global rivals by 2050, particularly the United States, Britain, Russia and South Korea, said the daily.

--
According to The Times, Larry M. Wortzel, author of the US Army War College report, said: "The thing that should give us pause is that in many Chinese military manuals they identify the US as the country they are most likely to go to war with. They are moving very rapidly to master this new form of warfare."

The PLA hackers produced a "virtual guidebook for electronic warfare and jamming" after studying NATO and US manuals on military tactics, the report said.

The Times said the Pentagon logged more than 79,000 attempted intrusions in 2005, of which about 1,300 succeeded.

20. they are systematically attacking our allies for entries to
classified information on our military

this to me is a attack and I have been watching the Chinese getting more and more aggressive

Poisoning our children animals and other commodities

these are not benign mistakes

these are Deliberate attacks

the Corporations who are part of the NWO are waking up they are being systematically attacked
and their Army is being cyberattacked with the help of microsoft Intel and Google

4. I hope it eases your concern to know that our government
is now requiring its IT staffs to be Certified Penetration Testing Specialists or Certified Ethical Hacker certified.

9. They're mine.
Thank you. :)

My first husband was Palestinian (he's a jerk - but not because he's Palestinian), thus my son is half-Palestinian. My husband now is Jewish (he's not a jerk - but not because he's Jewish), thus my daughter is half-Jewish.

I, myself, am half Southern Baptist and half Catholic.

No one can accuse me of not being a one-woman melting pot. :rofl:

8. if they control the computers of the aircraft carriers in the Straits
of Hormuz then attacking Iran is going to be very difficult especially if the Chineese give the iranians the codes

this stuff scares the hell out of me
cause we are so open to attack just like the scenario in battlestar Gallactica where the government relied on their computer systems what too much

and if there is anything I know this government is clueless about the Internet

12. This government is, yes, but the many "civilians" who make
up the rank and file aren't clueless.

I work in the computer training industry and it's a new standard set down by someone who actually has a brain: both because they have a brain enough to think up these new security standards and because they're still in a position to do so and haven't been stymied by this clueless administration.

18. Every single US plane, ship, missle, satellite computer chip is Chinese made!
China has advanced electro-magnetic frequency technology and can send frequency specific pulses to chip groups and turn them off, probably re-direct them to USA instead of Iran!!

They blinked out our spy satellite over North Korea when NK launched their nuke capable missles last year and US was among last to know about it, then turned (pulsed) it back on after the NK tests.

They have us in the palm of their hands financially and militarily now. All the military computer chips are too deeply embedded within the systems & can not be removed without totally destroying the ships, planes, missles,nukes, satellites etc.

This could be a good thing if China espoused world peace. Checkmate!! However, I don't think other countries are dumb enough to outsource their military computer technology to an 8,000 year old inscrutable communist country, and thus missiles, nukes could fly from other nuke enabled countries e.g Israel, Russia, France etc.etc.
