Did I say you stereotyped the people? No, I just said you posted a stereotyping statement. You do it blatantly and it's your agenda... but no one catches those...
YallMean, Thanks for the insight. I would love to read all about it. Problem is the technical details of this sort of things is way beyond my comprehension. I bet that's the case for most people. All we've been told by the media is China's been hacking our systems and stealing our technologies. It happens over and over as if we have no defense whatsoever. Is it real or is this another WMD in Iraq sort of smoke? I am no techy, but I know if China wages a cyber war they will lose. I refuse to be fooled again
So China steals all of these secrets and they still can't manufacture a toaster that last more than six months?
According to Internet traffic monitoring service Akami, China is the number one source of cyber hacking, and guess who is the second, the US. Frankly, I don't think there is probably not as much interest on the US part as that of China in sniffing through private sector's data. That may explain the differnences in the amount of hacking between the two. I am also a little put off by NYT's enthusiasm in reporting all of these, to be honest. At the beginning, I thought they were mad, but now I think there is a reason to believe there is an ulterior motive. The timing, ..., if you read carefully, whole bunch of stuff are on the table in the shadow of all of these. I am following them closely.
A news that one country tried to hack on another county...how surprising. Seriously, I thought it would be a news only if it has been confirmed that one country has never tried to hack on another country. And am I the only one who believes that even allies/friendly countries wuld try to hack on one another?
The news is a lot more nuanced than that - a huge proportion of Chinese state-- sanctioned hacks are into corporations. These are corporations, of course, that they officially want to partake of China's place in the global supply chain. I doubt these actors are psyched about having to spend hundreds of millions of dollars protecting against chinese gov't hackers on the one hand while they provide millions of manufacturing jobs in china with the other hand. That obviously isn't very responsible/desirable behavior on a number of levels -aside from being illegal under pretty much any set of laws you choose.
Exactly. That's what intelligence/spy agencies are for, obtain information on friends, foes, frenemies using whatever means possible. The Chinese are doing it, we are doing it, every country is doing it. I'd be shocked if we are not already hacking into Chinese military, government and corporations like Huawei, AVIC, CATIC, Sinopec etc.
Its pretty clear China is only trying to access the US private corporations. Clinton and Obama already gave them all of our military secrets. {t}
