China Hacker's Angst opens a Window onto Cyber Espionage

Barbara Demick, Los Angeles Times

A simple blog posted up by a Chinese hacker gives the United states a rare insight into China's plans on   cyber espionage. This has been a growing concern for the U.S. within the past few years. China is one of the biggest threats, if not the biggest threat to the U.S. A twenty-five year old man who was enlisted in People's Liberation Army's hacking unit carelessly posted a blog online that had plans of China hacking into the U.S. government. He got his inspiration from the FOX series "Prison Break" which ironically is an American show. From 2006-2009, he posted up 625 entries some of them including plans of hacking the U.S. According to thousands of people, this is the largest institutionalized hacking plan ever made. Some analysts even think that China's cyber hacking plans are more dangerous than that of Al Qaeda's terrorist attacks. If America gets hacked all the government plans will be compromised and years of secretive planning can go to waste in a snap. This just shows how other countries are planning on how to attack the United States and the government is not even aware of all these plans. More people like this hacker are needed in order for America to be aware of what is going on that can severely harm them.
