IN WHAT IS BEING TOUTED as another attempt at Cyber warfare, Chinese hackers have been taking down sites belonging to pro-Tibetan groups.
According to AP, the hackers are using previously-unknown security holes in Microsoft Office. Apparently it was attacks like this that forced Microsoft to issue large numbers of patches between 2006 and 2007. Mikko Hyppönen, the chief research officer for software security vendor F-Secure, told RSA conference most of the attacks originated in China.
They appear to be part of a cyber attack strategy when the attackers started sending e-mails to victims with booby-trapped Word documents and Excel spreadsheets attached.
The Pentagon and pro-Tibet groups have previously acknowledged the intrusions, but Hyppönen is the first to claim that a particular rash of Volish patches were linked to the attacks.
The hacks were highly successful. One multi-billion-dollar defence contractor who went to F-Secure for help found that a single compromised Windows box had been secretly siphoning information to a server in mainland China for 18 months. It is not certain how much intelligence about pro-Tibetan groups was handed over to the Chinese using similar techniques. µ

Spam isn’t just a big nuisance; it’s big business as well. So why is spam persisting? 
Ferris Research estimates that spam will cost $140 billion worldwide in 2008, of which $42 billion will be in the United States alone. If you compare these numbers with Ferris’s 2007 estimates of $100 billion and $35 billion, you’ll see that the cost of spam has increased substantially over 12 months.

Sometimes I often wonder what good, if any, there is in even attaching China to the rest of the internet. All that I ever encounter from that country are spam, viruses, and other nasties. Anything with .cn is instantly killed by my spam filter. Worse, I think most of these cybercrimes and pollution are state-sponsored.
If China is going to allow such attacks at the very least shouldnt we unplug them ? Or are the people that run the internet so greedy that our rights are going to be put second to a few dallars. Dumb question since the internet is run by the USA and we all know how greedy they are.
What where you you point that greedy finger... Comcast might not like my torrenting but at least I get the same Bandwidth to www.salvationarmy.org and www.foxnews.com

Ah the irony, a poster spamming this site with an ad for an anti-spam webinar. Victor, first step to solving the problem is to turn off your own computer.
Am I naive or what, but why would the Pentagon acknowledge, or even care about, the hacking of the pro-tibet web sites? and how many books is the dalai lama selling? how could he afford multi-billion dollar defence contractor?
I don't doubt that the Chinese would attack Tibetan sites, but the majority of so-called Chinese spam is actually created by Russians. The hammer and sickle wavers use Chinese servers because they're harder to take down by Western authorities - and because it's good camouflage.
The real and one and only original Buddha, to the horror of idiotic & lunatic fashionable “buddhist” yankee-do-das and other “westernised” supporters of “buddhism”, the blind & blank fashionable know-it-alls, is not about vegetarianism, Constant Chanting, Shaolin “monks”, futuristic soothsayers of “The Force” or beggars-for-alms or other myths. [And these screws & nuts love “Buddhism” because The Buddha {and The Mahavira} never talked about God – what a comfort and relief for Egotists {& Emotives}] 

The Buddha died after eating semi-cooked wild boar meat. He was impatient [for that was his time of choosing] even when the boar hunter said that the meat wasn’t quite ready and The Buddha was not a vegen [and the moral about food is not to focus too much unnecessary attention on [the type of] food as to unbalance oneself]. The Buddha represents the collective ego of God which amongst other aspects of pure creativity/creation are “contained” those who are egoistical, egomaniacal and not alive. Ego means, “Do not harm others”, a futuristic realm. Ego-isms mean that which projects to the future. Like planning how to … anything.

And that is how they “predict” a “Dalai Lama” [and not one of these futurists was/is a realised soul but they sure do realise the power of fiefdom and politics that religion can offer] an invented “post” for harmonising the history between the Tibetan and the [Han] Chinese. “Playing” with spirits of the future and futuristic activities is diametrically opposite to the spirit/fundamentals of Buddhism and should you play the part “hard” enough you can probably summon Hiltler to become part of you but watch out for those nervous twitches, the high blood pressure and those wonderful rages – moustache optional.

The history between Tibet and China only materialised after the 8th cnetury AD and the borders are partially another Anglo-Chosen-Few mess. One reason why diehard Tibetan “seperatists” cannot claim the current borders for Tibet as real. A few million claiming that vast expense of territory is asking for trouble from equal opportunistics and the Hans are as opportunistic as any. Just ask the Anglo-Saxons, Film & Money “Stars”, Vikings, Russians, Indians, Arabs, and dare we mention the “Israelis”. Much like some local UK TV network claiming to be “associated” with some hedonistic vile mass murderer just because “he had used the local train station toilet 34 years ago whilst he was passing through”. Ah, the making of news – and all in aid of the datamine-ability of the blank & blind know-it-alls. “You see, the trick is to spice it up such that they cannot differentiate between fact or fiction”. How futuristic.
I have signed pro-Tibetan online letters, and within TWO WEEKS, I started receiving tons of Mail Failure return mails, indicating that someone is using my e-mail addresse to spam people.
When I checked the headers of the returned mail, and looked up the IP addresses, sure enough- they're based in Beijing.

I have had my e-mail account for over 10 years without any spammers hacking me, and now I have tons of the failure mails coming into my Inbox!

China can kiss my ***. 
I'm NOT buying a damn thing made in that country ever again, if i can help it.
