March 24,
2008: In the United States, the FBI is investigating who hacked into the
networks of an NGO (the Save Darfur Coalition) that has criticized China for
its support of the Sudanese government. Chinese hackers are suspected of
breaking into the Save Darfur Coalition computers. The same hacking operation
is suspected of breaking into U.S. military, government and corporate networks.
The U.S. Department of Defense has been quite specific in accusing the Chinese
of organizing major hacking operations on U.S. government networks. Apparently
the FBI concurs.
