[ad]<\/p>\n
After the recent fiasco about the Pentagon being Hacked by Chinese Military another few governments have piped up with information about cyber surveillance by China.<\/p>\n
The latest is France.<\/p>\n
It seems like right now china has it\u2019s fingers in many pies.<\/p>\n
France has become the fourth country to speak out against hackers in China following an attack on French government systems.<\/p>\n
Francis Delon, France\u2019s secretary general for national defence, claimed that the country\u2019s systems had been compromised and that the evidence pointed to China.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have proof that there was involvement with China,\u201d he said. \u201cBut that is not to say the Chinese government.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s interesting to see people talk about \u2018proof\u2019 when in a virtual world what proof can you have? It can from a Chinese IP address? Is there any proof that says that Chinese IP address wasn\u2019t compromised by a Russian hacker and used to channel attacks?<\/p>\n
Diversion and subterfuge are common even in non-political hacking scenarios.<\/p>\n
\nAmerica, the UK and Germany have similarly complained of security attacks that came from the region.<\/p>\n
US officials claimed that the Chinese military successfully hacked computers inside the Pentagon in June.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, German chancellor Angela Merkel also complained that her government\u2019s systems had been penetrated by Chinese hackers, raising the subject with Chinese president Hu Jintao.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It seems they are racking up quite some intel on a number of countries.<\/p>\n
China has of course again denied ALL of the claims laid against it.<\/p>\n
