Chinese Websites Used As Launchpads For Cracking 256
An anonymous reader writes "A Washington Post article reports that Chinese networks are being used to breach hundreds of unclassified U.S. government systems. The article goes on to say that some analysts believe the activity to be tied to the Chinese government, although there is also some dissent." From the article: "Whether the attacks constitute a coordinated Chinese government campaign to penetrate U.S. networks and spy on government databanks has divided U.S. analysts. Some in the Pentagon are said to be convinced of official Chinese involvement; others see the electronic probing as the work of other hackers simply using Chinese networks to disguise the origins of the attacks."

Well, there now, sounds to me like they may be harboring terrorists and weapons of mass destruction.
We must persevere. Stay true to our convictions, and continue to sacrifice. For the good of the world, in our war on terrorism.

I wonder if the American computer experts do an electronic 'flyby' of their bosses computer systems. I bet they do, and so they should, for our country is a country undeniably committed to freedom and no concentration of force in real or virtual worlds will change that. Let the Chinese do their worse - they will soon learn that superior American training and technology and goddam GUTS, like in Top Gun, will prevail.

I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

Hahahahahah!"

Please refrain from calling people complete assficks and giving them alternative ways of speaking.
It makes you sound like a complete assfuck.
If you wish to correct the way someone communicates to a third party, STFU.
