You just know that headline made me choke. That being said, I found this to be an interesting read.
From Reuters:
As America and China grow more economically and financially intertwined, the two nations have also stepped up spying on each other. Today, most of that is done electronically, with computers rather than listening devices in chandeliers or human moles in tuxedos.
And at the moment, many experts believe China may have gained the upper hand.
Though it is difficult to ascertain the true extent of America’s own capabilities and activities in this arena, a series of secret diplomatic cables as well as interviews with experts suggest that when it comes to cyber-espionage, China has leaped ahead of the United States.
This will no doubt start the drums pounding for a series of legislative attempts to “secure” the computing resources of the US. While I agree that yes, securing your resources is a great idea…don’t you think that idea has gone well past its best before date?
Just sayin’.
