"A federal law-enforcement official familiar with the investigation says the FBI is "aggressively" pursuing the possibility that the Chinese government is behind the attacks. "
Can there be any doubt?!
As you read further, you find, that the guy at Sandia Labs, who was helping the FBI to follow these enemy spies, was FIRED from his job, his clearances were pulled, because "Under U.S. law, it is illegal for Americans to hack into foreign computers."
More laws that make us unable to defend ourselves against the enemy.

Very interesting article Ping.
Why would anyone have such highly sensitive material online. In a place that can be remotely accessed? This is asking for trouble.
I suppose the answer is convenience and easy accessibly for legitimate users
The American business community naivete, or just plain greed, in dealing with a ruthless communist dictatorship (yes, that's what mainland China is) is almost as laughably sad as Clinton's sell out of the very sensitive technology this enemy of freedom is using to attempt to eventually defeat us. They understand that as big as their land army is, they have never been a nation to seek to expand their border or invade other cultures, for the most part. They want economic control of the West, and the best way is to continue to usurp our systems and eventually our control. Wake up, America, the enemy has been quietly and carefully gnawing away at our defenses.
how freaking stupid is it to put stuff that really matters on a "world wide web?" if it can be encoded, it can decoded. But hey, wdik?
Before 9/11 I got into a pissing match with another Freeper who scoffed at my suggestion that the next "battle-front" with the chinese would be internet espionage. I rest my case.
I've been tracking them since before August 2001 when the "Code Red Virus" was created and distributed by the chicoms - the cyber attack peaked the morning of 9-11! What a coincidence!

No FReeping on Sundays either! Get back to work! :-)
"I'm not sleeping well," he (Carpenter) says. "I know the Titan Rain group is out there working, now more than ever."

Doesn't this starting to sound like the Able Danger guys, nobody pays any attention until AFTER a disaster happens.
bttt Well looky here.
Kudos to Carpenter for trying to get this out in public view. He is a patriot.
One of the reasons I read current fiction like John Sandford (the "Kidd" series) and Tom Clancy (his "Op Center" series with several other guys) is to try to keep up with this area. These authors, and there are surely others, know something about this, and are almost precient. Reading the Time article gave me deja vu chills with some of Clancy's work.
Anyone have other authors of this genre? I'd appreciate knowing of them.
Will our media have the cojones to ask questions about this Chinese spying of admin officials, or the President? This falls within W's term, and he should be doing something about it. And are we doing it to them, and others? We had better be.
I wonder how many Windows servers they've compromised with 0-Day exploits they wrote after being given access to Windows source code?
China has long felt that they are senior, yes that is the word/attitude they would use, In world power !
They were able to steal our latest war head designs during Clinton’s watch and now are getting very aggressive towards America . Their military have made war like statements
and they appear to be willing to accept massive loses in an nuclear exchange with us.
They realize that their large army is next to useless in a war without occupation and
if china wants a war with America as they no doubt feel is inevitable they will attempt to go nuclear very early !

Thanks, FairO', good to know.
Dittos.
Poor guy, you'd think the fibs would hire him, sounds like he's really good.
I do kind of wonder why he didn't ask them to hire at the beginning or CYA himself somehow.
I mean, maybe he was being patriotic or just enjoying the chase, but he was doing good work for free.
I hope we have guys doing similar things to them. Well, maybe we do, NSA snoops on the whole world after all.
BTTT!
