<< not intended to offend any Chinese AO'ers >>


I had already received this info through other connections, but I guess the NIPC accidentally posted this to a public site so it has made the news...

Chinese hacker groups are planning attacks on U.S.- and U.K.-based Web sites to protest the war in Iraq, the Department of Homeland Security warned in an alert that it unintentionally posted on a government Web site today.

A planning session was scheduled for March 29. Supposedly there are indications that the cyber attacks would be broken into two groups with one group performing network vulnerability scans and the other group performing the actual attacks.

The anniversary of the collision of the U.S. surveillance plane and the Chinese fighter jet is April 1 so many believe the target date may be April 1 to mark the occasion.

Just something to be aware of and watch for suspicious behavior or traffic tomorrow and for the near future (as if you don't always watch for those things ).
