Is the China Regime Hacking or Just Monitoring their Investment --Epoch TimesIs China Hacking or Just Monitoring Their Investment –Epoch Times

(China Digital Times) Following the Mandiant Report which exposed a major hacking group linked to China’s Peoples Liberation Army, an investigation by the Los Angeles Times tracked down the personal blog of one of the alleged hackers.

In the blog which was active between 2006-2009 Wang a 25 yr old hacker provides a rare glimpse of the secretive hacking establishment of the China Regime, whose efforts are a growing concern to the United States.

On the 21 February, I wrote here that Secy of State John Kerry recently claimed that the greatest challenge to Obama’s foreign policy is not emerging from the China Regime but from Congress–where he served from 1985 until only recently.

(AP) Secy of State John Kerry claims the greatest challenge to U.S. foreign policy is not emerging from the China regime or Obama’s naivety but from his former stomping grounds–the U.S. Congress.

On Tuesday, FOX News reported, that the Pentagon (finally) acknowledged that the China regime is a clear cyberthreat to the United States, in the wake of a new report, linking the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) to massive amounts of stolen data from over 100 different targets, most of which are U.S. based.

On the 02 June, 2011 I wrote here that an announcement by Google said that hundreds of Gmail accounts had been compromised in a “Phishing” attack from China and on the 12 March, 2012 I wrote here that the FBI uncovered a US/China based corporate espionage conspiracy to steal Dupont corporate trade secrets involving a Orinda, California couple.

Google Search Page–China Regime Blocked Search Engine in 2010

An announcement by Google said that hundreds of Gmail accounts had been compromised in a “Phishing” attack from China Jinan Shandong Province.

The alleged goal of the effort appears to have been to monitor the contents of the users emails, with the perpetrators using stolen passwords to change individuals forwarding and delegation settings.

Why were Gmail users accounts targeted?  The ‘Phising’ attacks were reportedly targeting U.S. Govt Officials personal accounts, rather than attempting to break into better secured federal operating systems–while much of the news reports have focused on Google attacks, Yahoo accounts allegedly were also attacked by China Spies.
