China Cyber Espionage!

[The Running Man]

Well the war with Russia is failing to materialise so time to find another willing foe?

 

[mattyfez]

BTW, Japan are remarkably far behind the the cyberwarfare game.

Or maybe they are just much better at it!

 

[Rroff]

So what's the difference between this and GCHQ/NSA backdooring network equipment being sold to foreign companies and agencies?

Or vice versa - BT's VDSL modems no doubt have a Chinese backdoor built into the hardware as well as GCHQ having a software backdoor heh. (I say this mostly tongue in cheek but its not entirely untrue).

Pot kettle black and all that!

Captain Darling: So you see, Blackadder, Field Marshall Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German spies.

General Melchett: Filthy hun weasels, fighting their dirty underhand war!

Captain Darling: And fortunately, one of our spies...

General Melchett: Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!

These the same guys that keep trying to access my Guild Wars 2 account?

Forever getting emails from attempts.

Is this like when the MPAA goes after movie downloaders? They just prosecute the first 5 or so and forget the rest?

This.

The Snowden leaks showed that the US is involved in large scale economic espionage against the EU and Petrobras amongst others.

How can the US be so hypocritical?

 

[benjii]

Pretty much this!

 

[olivier renault]

When stuff like that goes public, it's got to be political. There's probably a juicy back-story lurking behind all this.

 

[zyzzyzus]

I thought it is common knowledge that countries spy on each other. The only news is the fact they got caught.

 

[Agent_Smith357]

The first suspect on the top picture is Wang Dong. I'm childish.

 

[Agent_Smith357]

Our firewalls are being penetrated by Dongs?

 

[Participant]

The invasion has begun!

 

[FoxEye]

Cyber spying. Cyber warfare.

What is cyber?

Do they jack in? Does cyberspace look like Tron?

Find out tonight on the news where people who can barely use computers have to talk about them. This includes most politicians and probably half the generals too.

How does I press 'any key'? It's next to the 'cyber key' right? Oh crap, they're in the tubes! Upload the virus to the mothership pronto!

 

[randal]

I know what you mean dude but alas, it's correct.

cyber-
ˈsʌɪbə/
combining form
prefix: cyber-
relating to electronic communication networks and virtual reality.

This isn't countries spying on one another. It's a state spying on international corporations and stealing secret tech.

Not that china would ever steal other people's designs and technology. Nooo.

 

[FoxEye]

I know what you mean dude but alas, it's correct.

Yeah I just dislike the word and its over-use by everyone in the media.

 

[The Geezer]

Are we still in a 'Cold War' ? After what we learned through Snowden's leaks surely we should be questioning our own governments.

I see this as a smoke screen as there must be something bigger the US has done and are about to be exposed

 

[platypus]

This.

One assumes it's a (poor) attempt to deflect attention. Otherwise what's the point? We know they hack us, and our friends, and our friends know we hack them and their friends and we know that their friends are hacking us and our friends and we know that our friends are hacking them and their friends and ad infinitum..
