China Hacking EVERYTHING‏

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-12-14/china-based-hacking-of-760-companies-shows-cyber-cold-war.html

How Bill Gates is not in handcuffs I will never understand. That man has done more damage to the United States then all the terrorist networks combined. He should be hanged from the highest tree.

iBahn provides broadband business and entertainment access to guests of Marriott International Inc. and other hotel chains, including multinational companies that hold meetings on site. Breaking into iBahn’s networks, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official familiar with the matter, may have let hackers see millions of confidential e-mails, even encrypted ones, as executives from Dubai to New York reported back on everything from new product development to merger negotiations.

More worrisome, hackers might have used iBahn’s system as a launching pad into corporate networks that are connected to it, using traveling employees to create a backdoor to company secrets

The networks of at least 760 companies, research universities, Internet service providers and government agencies were hit over the last decade by the same elite group of China-based cyber spies. The companies, including firms such as Research in Motion Ltd. and Boston Scientific Corp., range from some of the largest corporations to niche innovators in sectors like aerospace, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology,

“They are stealing everything that isn’t bolted down, and it’s getting exponentially worse,”

For now, the administration is concentrating on raising awareness among company executives and seeking a commitment to improve security against such attacks. Raising awareness…That is what the administration is doing….H*ll I have been doing that for YEARS. Anyone who reads my emails knows about this issue and knows why it is happening. I told everyone it was going to happen. Now I am showing everyone it is happening. Exactly as I said it would. I did expect the President to do more about it than I am. I guess (once again) I expect too much.

the value of the blueprints, chemical formulas and other material stolen from U.S. corporate computers in the last year reached almost $500 billion, said Rogers, a former agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“We’re talking about stealing entire industries,” he said. “This may be the biggest transfer of wealth in a short period of time that the world has ever seen.” THANKS TO BILL GATES…..

Google vastly underestimated the scope of the spying. Google should have talked to me. I could have told them how bad it was going to be. No surprise around here.
