This is probably overblown, but everyone should panic anyway, just to fit in.

China should die in a fire.

Eh, who cares? The important thing is that no personal information was stolen, no nuclear war was initiated, and they fixed the problem. I don't see how this is even news, I mean we are talking almost 4 years ago now, obviously this did not have any sort of significant impact on the world or anything.

And if a nuclear war had been initiated you wouldn't have anything to say about it.

Just hack couple of GPS satellite and see airplanes come crashing down. This has the potential to go worse than 9/11. No need to panic, right? huu?

Even so, it's absurd to suggest that China's ongoing global strategy, much like the United States', involves some asymmetrical tactics including so-called cyber warfare.

You are wrong in this assumption. China has dedicated military units for for this purpose.

China is the next biggest threat to the world after Islam Terrorist. They wanted to rule the whole world..........

Well, the last World War was the first introduction of chemical warfare from Germany, not really a surprise cyber warfare would be the weapon of choice in a World War III setting. Especially from a country like China, with a super firewall that blocks anyone outside of China from peeking through. Hacker's paradise.

You better re-check your history... Germany used chemical weapons in WW 1.

 

[mightymaxio]

^ I think he means the first nuclear or atomic warfare. WW 1 had mustard gas if im correct.

 

[igot1forya]

Is it racist that I read the part, "attempt to 'villy' China." in broken engrish?

 

[serendipiti]

I don't agree with the no need to care position. But there is no reason to be scared, neither looking at the whole country as a threat. Cyber warfare is a fact (just remember the cost of Sasser as being larger than building the World Trade Center). Just when we started to get accostumed to the end of cold war with Russia, don't start the game again with China, pls.
Because the game is finding a threat and scaring the population just to get control over them...

I'm not sure why but I'm starting to doubt those studies.... I wonder if its all just a propaganda against china....
Why can't we see studies about american hackers against other countries too?

...we are skilled enough to not get caught in a manner that generates articles on news sites?

Of COURSE there's constant attempts to penetrate other countries' information infrastructure, especially nuclear-armed rivals with orbital capabilities. Any country which doesn't do so will be saying "sir" and "master" to those who do. Duh. Is there anyone so stupidly naive to think otherwise? Is there any pot-head still mewling "can't we all just get along" when history has already conclusively answered that question?

The news here is not that the Chinese are trying to hack our satellites. Of course they are. It's that we did such a poor job of infosec that they SUCCEEDED.
