Payback Against China:
"The U.S. is being more open about its growing body of evidence documenting
Chinese Cyber War attacks on America and the West. This openness was prompted
by a Wikileaks emails from last year that made reference to U.S. and European
efforts to track the growing number of hacker attacks on government and military
organizations. The emails revealed that Western computer security officials have
been increasingly aware of details of the Chinese efforts over the last five years.
Until the Wikileaks incident, this was kept secret because the Chinese have been
careful to hide their hacks, if only so they could return and not have to work their
way through much stronger defenses. The Chinese hackers also kept a low profile
because their governments' only response to victims was "it wasn't us, we know
nothing, we are being hacked too." That last item is true, the first two are not."
