The World Bank Group's computer network one of the largest repositories of sensitive data about the economies of every nation has been raided repeatedly by outsiders for more than a year, FOX News has learned.
It is still not known how much information was stolen. But sources inside the bank confirm that servers in the institution's highly-restricted treasury unit were deeply penetrated with spy software last April. Invaders also had full access to the rest of the bank's network for nearly a month in June and July.
In total, at least six major intrusions two of them using the same group of IP addresses originating from China have been detected at the World Bank since the summer of 2007, with the most recent breach occurring just last month.

Islam is not the only entity whose goal is world domination. Never forget Communism DNA requires them to conquer the world.
The internet is their newest tool.

As I said in Comment 15, it may have been an Indian, not a Chinese. Read the whole article and tell me what you think after you do.

Somebody has to physically hit the Chinese. We have to do some major boycotts on them.

The World Bank computer got a pop-up ad for Virus Heat and clicked on it.
