U.S. Military Warns of 'Increasingly Active' Cyber-Threat From China

Patrick Thibodeau writes on ComputerWorld:

On the same day that Google Inc. and the GoDaddy Group Inc. complained about China to a congressional committee, U.S. Navy Admiral Robert Willard appeared before the U.S. House Armed Services Committee with an even stronger warning about cyber-threats posed by China.

Willard's comments about China received little press attention but were stronger than anything said by either company.

"U.S. military and government networks and computer systems continue to be the target of intrusions that appear to have originated from within the PRC (People's Republic of China)," said Willard.

He said that most of the intrusions are focused on acquiring data "but the skills being demonstrated would also apply to network attacks."
