Chinese hackers on blogs and CNN

CNN has been running a news segment about Chinese hackers:

They operate from a bare apartment on a Chinese island. They are intelligent 20-somethings who seem harmless. But they are hard-core hackers who claim to have gained access to the world's most sensitive sites, including the Pentagon.

If you're interested in the subject, The Dark Visitor is a blog dedicated to news about Chinese hackers.

Comments on Chinese hackers on blogs and CNN

Chinese hackers coming back!Most are rumors I think.

So,the blog dedicated to news about Chinese hackers can not be found in Qinhuangdao(秦皇岛),CNC providing the internet-service
.

But does Chinese hackers have that ability to
“access to the world's most sensitive sites, including the Pentagon”?

The first computer was born in the US and the basic language of PC is English. With America'S
genius,of good and evil,the English-speak hackers can overgo all the PCs in the world.

My god !Be careful MY notebook.

If its on CNN then it must be true....

This story is ridiculous on so many levels, I cannot believe the editors let it pass.

If it were true, then I find it fantastic that CNN is willing to just let US security be sold for a page 4 story.

It is like 2004 all over again, only the US public needs another reason to vote.

I agree with the above poster, this is much ado about nothing. In one sense, these guys are probably just script kiddies hacking web-sites. The article is skimp on details, I mean what exactly did they hack in the Pentagon? If they just hacked the Websites then what is the big deal? I mean sure, if they hacked a website to get a some crap then who cares. I really doubt they hacked something that is really designed to be secure. Maybe I'm just naive, I would think the pentagon is pretty damn secure if needed. The crap they hacked probably involves non-technical people with none classified data.

If they are so smart why not hack banks, and get money? Why not hack black U.S programs to steal top secret info? The U.S be fuc*ed if they did that.

And if the U.S don't do the same to China, then U.S deserves whatever they gonna get. Which brings me back to the point that the U.S probably have their sh*ite together, at least on the important stuff. Which means it's just typical election year fear mongering. Not saying these fear mongering have no basis, they do have something basis, it's just mostly it's all bullshit.

Hell, I'm not really surprised. I've worked with U.S government peeps on the tech side. The weakest link is the clueless users. You can't help that, unless you get rid of them all, which is not going to happen.

Plus the fact computers software are just too damn complicated to error free. You are always going to find faults, no matter how well engineered something claims to be.

So perhaps, these Chinese hackers are the shit, and hit the jackpot!!!


What an article of propaganda!!!

I especially like this comment:
"CNN has no way to independently confirm if that is true."
If you can confirm it, then don't write it.

When do we read on CNN an article on U.S. hackers sponsored by the U.S. regime to hack into Chinese websites?

It is CNN, so it is not true.
