This is what the Chicoms have been after for the past 25 years, hi-tech theft and control. They know both the military and security systems of the West are controlled via the internet and satellite systems. A book was written about this 20 years ago. And all those Chinese nationals wandering around our campuses? How much engineering and hi-tech info. are they sending back, stolen, to the motherland? I suspect more than you can imagine.

Don’t worry. Obama will do NOTHING. In fact, cyber security may be another possible budget cut. He doesn’t like our military and Obama has been bought and sold many times over. I say this because there is NO WAY,his base came up with record breaking money for his Presidential run. Obama’s main base is the tin cup crowd and utopian people.

This happens accidentally a few times per year, Alperovitch said. What set this incident apart from other such mishaps was the fact that China Telecom could manage to absorb this large amount of data and send it back out again without anyone noticing a disruption in service.

In short, the Chinese could have carried out eavesdropping on unprotected communications …

Hopefully important communications are protected.

Don’t think so small. This is way bigger than the Terabyte level.

The incident may receive more attention when the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a congressional committee, releases its annual report on the bilateral relationship Nov. 17.

But I wouldn't count on it. Obama himself poses a massive security breach and along with his democRAT controlled Congress (until January 2011) has some of the most rabid anti-Americans that any Congress has had.
