[h=1]Report: China military involved in U.S. hacking[/h]
Scary stuff. What might a cyber war between the US and China be like?
BEIJING – Hackers at a secretive unit of the Chinese military have stolen huge amounts of data from 115 companies and organizations in the U.S. since at least 2006, a U.S. computer security firm said in a research report released online Tuesday.
Last Tuesday, President Obama signed an executive order to improve protection of the USA's critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. "We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions and our air traffic control systems," he said in his State of the Union Address the same day.
