The Invisible War China is Launching on the United States

Introduction into the piece [quote]As we enter into early 2013, the new emerging focus within the Department of Defense--alongside the private sector--is the evermore crucial question of creating a solid defense against the plethora of cyber attacks on valuable national assets. These attacks are far ranging, from a simple hacktivist defacing a meat packaging company's website with slogans about saving cows (lol), to intricate and damaging heists of intellectual information by those that seek to gain an upper hand in markets.[/quote] Thoughts? Do you agree? What do you think should be done about these attacks by China?

      • I saw a full blown invasion today. Hundreds of Chinese people at an outlet mall buying all the cheap crap that they made to go sell it at 200% profit at home. My god man, such a rude group of people.

        • Honestly, I don't think this is anything new. China has always had a "war" with the western world with technology (look at how many copy cat "inventions" that have appeared). This is just the next step as they are starting to "catch up".

        • Why would they want to attack us? If they blow us up, nobody will buy their stuff.

          • They made a rash generalization, and an uninformed one at that, that all these attacks are coming from China. A lot of attacks, like the cows one, are by independent hactivist groups (see: anonymous). Although a cyber attack causing mass damage is a very real and ever-growing threat, it isn't just from China. In fact, the worst cyber-attack to date derived from the UK (which wound up nearly detonating a nuclear power plant).

            • Cyberwarfare, in my opinion, is our biggest national security threat. About your ways to approach these threats, I also don't think any of them are mutually exclusive; as in, if we do x, we can't do y. I think, in all honestly, a balanced approach of all three is the best way to go about countering these threats. I also think we should be conducting more of option 1 and 3, as we need to beef up our security and programs like STUXNET seem to work.
