China Hijacks The Internet
http://www.informationweek.com/news/healthcare/leadership/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=228300097&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_All
state-owned Chinese telecommunications firm "hijacked" Internet traffic in April, affecting traffic from U.S. government domains and raising serious implications for Internet safety.
traffic going to and from U.S. .gov and .mil sites, including sites for the Senate, the four main armed services branches, the office of the Secretary of Defense, NASA, the Department of Commerce, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and others.
Commercial websites for large technology companies -- including Dell, Yahoo, Microsoft and IBM -- also were re-routed during the diversion period.
Commission concluded that China is probably spying on the U.S. government to gain advantage for any potential cyber conflicts. (Probably? You think....)
Our friends the Communist Chinese. With friends like them who needs enemies?
