U.S. fears 'cyberattacks' by Chinese armed forces
Recently I set my router to deny all packets from SE Asia. Most thought this was a little bit extreme. After reading this, I’d say its time to black hole all of Asia. i mean, as far as the english speaking world goes, the only thing we get from asia on the net is spam, hack attempts, internetworms and kiddie pron.
I got this link off a post on neworder:

U.S. fears 'cyberattacks' by Chinese armed forces
BY ERIC LICHTBLAU
Los Angeles Times Service
WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence officials believe the Chinese military is working to launch wide-scale ''cyberattacks'' on American and Taiwanese computer networks, including Internet-linked military systems considered vulnerable to sabotage, according to a classified CIA report.
Moreover, U.S. authorities are bracing for a possible wave of hacking attacks by Chinese students against the United States in coming weeks, according to the analysis. The confidential alert, which was reviewed by The Los Angeles Times, was sent to intelligence officials a week ago.
Although U.S. officials have voiced concerns about individual hackers in China who have defaced federal and private websites, the United States has resisted publicly linking the Chinese government to those attacks or to broader cyberstyle warfare.
The new CIA report, however, makes clear that U.S. intelligence analysts have become increasingly concerned that authorities in Beijing are actively planning to damage and disrupt U.S. computer systems through the use of Internet hacking and computer viruses.

Is it just me, or does that sound a little rascist? :confused:
