    China’s Internet Under Attack

    Locked

    by danlm ·

    There has been a couple of discussions here about China and thei illegal activites that origionate from them. I have always been of the impression that these activities were endorsed by the national goverment… Now, after reading this article.

    I am starting to wonder now… With all of monitoring that the Goverment of China performs on its citizens, they still are under seige from the same type of infections that we accuse them of.

      just like the rest of the world.

      What is it your trying to say here?

      A great deal of hacking comes from China.

      The Chinese government is oppressive and tries to control access and information.

      The Chinese citizens are victims of the hackers.

      And?

        Are we blaming the wrong people with regard to what comes out of China

        I have always been of the mind that the hacking that comes from China was endorsed by the goverment. Could it be that the Goverment of China can’t control what occurs on the internet there any more then the United States Govmerent can here?

        Thats what I was trying to say.

      The fact that the chinese people

      have been hit with virus attacks does not rule out that some are govt. formed/inspired.

      However, I think that all governments have endorsed/created and/or played with creating virus attacks to some degree. I mean, they want to disable an enemy, and communications disruptions can be critical benefit.

      However, as far as the government dumping virus’s upon the world regularly, I would doubt that. Encouraging developers/hackers to find weak spots is not encouraging them to do harm upon their citizens or facilities. It is scumbag crackers that do these things, worldwide and on mass scale.

        I still will protect myself from any and all probes from the China homeland just because I have no buisness with anyone there… But, where I am now wondering if my thought process of thinking it was goverment sanctioned(look the other way) may be incorrect.

        Do I think the Chinease people are worse then anyone else… hell no, just alot more of them to become infected to use as zombie hosts is where my thoughts are turning now.

          I don’t think that the chinese government is sponsoring many or any kinds of attacks from China. They may be doing exactly what the US military is doing in cyber warfare research, but not on a wide scale.

          But consider this; the law of unintended consequences…

          The chinese government puts up barriers and walls to content on the internet. A large number of people actively work to circumvent these walls. They use hacking techniques. A small fraction of those who learned hacking techniques to circumvent controls, go to the next level and learn malicious hacking.

          In a population of over a billion, a small fraction of a fraction can still be millions of people.

          The article gave me a whole different perspective of what occurs in China.

          I found it very interesting, and thought it was worth sharing due to previous conversations that have occured here.
