      So what about my money?

      Hack into my bank account(s), move some money around, take some money out, make a payment to child porn, make a deposit from an organization associated with terrorism.

      "Enemy of The State" and we are all digitally naked.

      The Chinese just showed us our pants are already down.

      Thank you China.

      Now wake up America.

      The Chinese have been spying on the US for decades, both industrial and governmental. And I'm sure we spy on them. There's no indication these are "attacks." What this is really about is an attempt to stampede Congress into passing completely uncalled for legislation to read everybody's emails, and, of course, to save administration face.

      The techniques used by these "hackers" are no different from those IT ppl deal with every day and the problem is simply that we still have a lot of very lax personal computer security and stupid users.

      Industrial espionage has been engaged in by developing countries for centuries. The US used to encourage Britain's inventors to emigrate, and we still do stuff like that, even if we may not engage in direct espionage. But at the prices we've gotten stuff from the 3d world for the past couple decades, we should have little room for complaint. Be thankful we don't have factories like Foxconn.

      Long ago spy story writers pointed out that it was all a game which tho played no little part in avoiding war, and the same argument can be made economically. These countries need to develop, and it will benefit us if they do. We ought to be helping them, not accusing them of dastardly deeds, and certainly not for self-serving reasons.

      And I have yet to see anyone laying out what kind of military threat this poses anyway.
