The Invisible War China is Launching on the United States
Introduction into the piece
[quote]As we enter into early 2013, the new emerging focus within the Department of Defense--alongside the private sector--is the evermore crucial question of creating a solid defense against the plethora of cyber attacks on valuable national assets. These attacks are far ranging, from a simple hacktivist defacing a meat packaging company's website with slogans about saving cows (lol), to intricate and damaging heists of intellectual information by those that seek to gain an upper hand in markets.[/quote]
Thoughts? Do you agree? What do you think should be done about these attacks by China?

2 RepliesThey made a rash generalization, and an uninformed one at that, that all these attacks are coming from China. A lot of attacks, like the cows one, are by independent hactivist groups (see: anonymous). Although a cyber attack causing mass damage is a very real and ever-growing threat, it isn't just from China. In fact, the worst cyber-attack to date derived from the UK (which wound up nearly detonating a nuclear power plant).
