China Shows Their Cyber Warfare Cards, Oops

--
The hilarity.

Red China has been hacking into USA computers, as part of what has been a declared cyber war, since 1998, the year they were provided 'Most Favored Nation' status. In 2007 the US feds finally couldn't hide this fact any longer after they found their Windows computers exposed to the Internet had been invaded with bots that were feeding every available bit of data back to Red China.

So I am laughing away at this bizarro news report via Neowin.net:

China accidently leaks Cyber Warfare software, US IP addresses being exploited

Well DUH! (0_o)

The source article at ThePochTimes.com is here:

Slip-Up in Chinese Military TV Show Reveals More Than Intended

Piece shows cyber warfare against US entities

There is no big revelation here except for people with their heads buried in the sand. Also, I'm not so sure China made a booboo here. I think they just don't care. China knows perfectly well that thoughful people of the USA know that China has been hacking us since 1998. China knows that we uncovered their internal memo, circa 2007, formally declaring cyber war against the USA. We know the Chinese government financially backed the Red Hacker Alliance. Officially China says 'no', but who cares? They lie. We know they lie. They know we know they lie... (>_<)

'Here world, check out our cyber war hackware. Enjoy yourselves. HaHaHa.'

The ACTUAL issue here is what the H E L L are the US feds are going to do about it?!

AND:
What are YOU going to do about it?
Buy more cheap crap from China?
Feed the Chinese military machine?
Help herald in the next Chinese empire?

I'm not, if I can help it.

And good luck to me with that endeavor! The USA is firmly latched onto the teet of cheap labor from China. The US Vice President was just over there making all nice to the commy dictators in order to persuade them to keep propping up the US debt despite recent Tea Party boobery.

What is an informed public to do when our US Corporate Oligarchy prevent the rule of the sane?

McAfee Figures Out That Red China Has Been Hacking The USA For Five Years

Red China has been hacking the USA government since 1998, the year China was given 'Most Favored Nation' status. 1998 was the year the roots of China's government hacking gathered together and formed 'The Red Hacker Alliance'. It used to be that the Red Chinese government denied paying The Red Hacker Alliance for its services. These days TRHA has simply been integrated directly into the Chinese government. They no longer operate as in independent entity.


The USA government was forced to admit China's activity in 2007 after the public was informed that government Windows OS computers connected to the Internet had been infected with bot malware that was feeding ALL available USA government documents directly to China. An internal Chinese memo was also uncovered around that time which declared a cyber war against the USA.


And now we get to read that McAfee figured out, here in 2011, that Red China has been hacking the USA for the last five years. Incredible DUH Factor:

China Implicated in Massive Five-Year Long Cyberattack

Travel back to some of my earliest posts in this blog for more about the history of Red China's declared Cyber War against the USA. Here's a relevant article from 2006, five years ago:

'Red Hackers Alliance' seen behind attacks on U.S. sites

Here's a link to a post I made over at Soft32.com's Mac forum on May 31, 2007:

China Escalates Cyber War Against The World

As I quoted from the SANS Institute's NewsBites newsletter, Volume 9, Number 43:

--DoD Report: China Bolstering Cyber Warfare Capabilities  (May 28 & 29, 2007) 
China "has established information warfare units to develop viruses to  attack enemy computer systems and networks, and tactics and measures to  protect friendly computer systems and networks," according to a recent  report from the US Defense Department (DoD). In previous years, the  Pentagon's annual report to Congress on China's military power has  indicated that China was focusing on defensive measures, so the shift  to offensive tactics merits attention. 

So where have you been for five years McAfee? And why does the tech press think McAfee's late revelation is news?

Here are a further few China cyber war articles from way back when:

May 30, 2007

Cyber Warfare: Beyond Estonia-Russia, Rise of China's 5th Dimension Cyber Army for the 21st Century

September 14, 2007

China emerges as leader in cyberwarfare

October 9, 2009

Capability of the People�s Republic of China to Conduct Cyber Warfare and Computer Network Exploitation

CONCLUSION: Think about Red China screwing over the USA as well as the rest of the world the next time you buy cheap stuff 'Made In China'. Wonder why the USA still provides Red China with 'Most Favored Nation' status considering the fact that China has declared war against us. Think about the motives of the traitorous Corporate Oligarchy that really rules the USA government.

BBC: "US cyber war defences 'very thin', Pentagon Warns"

--

A quick post to note an article that finally points out the big DUH: That the US government has terrible cyber-security. It is well known, certainly if you've been following my posts, that the US government has been repeatedly PWNed by Red China since 1998. The US feds only admit, however, to being PWNed since 2007 when they discovered all their computers attached to the Internet had been infected with bots that were feeding every piece of their data over to Red China. It was also uncovered around that time that Red China had been circulating an internal memo declaring 'cyber war' on the USA. This is our #1 trading partner benefiting from 'Most Favored Nation' status. The mind boggles.

It's a good and short read, important if only because the Pentagon has finally come clean about their incredible LACK of readiness in the ongoing cyber-security warz.

US cyber war defences 'very thin', Pentagon Warns

And yes, despite FUD to the contrary, the US feds would be remarkably better off if only they would dump Windows and, chant along with me:

GET A MAC

Red China says: "Thank you USA for using Windows!" (0_o)

Mac OS X is far from perfect. But Windows is far from adequate. Mac OS X remains the single safest GUI operating system on the planet. Only OpenBSD and FreeBSD have better security reputations. Sorry Linux.
