Latest People’s Republic of China Internet Controls & News from Down Under

Good day from AusCERT –

The latest Cyber Conflict news out the People’s Republic of China is very curious indeed and firmly supports the fact that Chinese State Sponsored hackers are targeting other international governments – including intelligence, military, and political objectives…

Earlier today here in Asia the alleged Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) hacking unit of PuDong neighborhood in the City of Shanghai has resumed cyber targeting see the Foreign Policy article (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/node/1426054)…and yet today the People’s Republic of China demonstrated a new form of Internet Control for disaffected bloggers who disagree with the Communist Party of China (CPC)…death – you can see the story here; http://www.foreignpolicy.com/node/1426054.

Remember that with the Golden Shield Project (colloquially known as the Great Firewall of China), a Chinese State Sponsored DNS cache poisoning policy, the Internet the Western world enjoys is not what the average Chinese experiences in the People’s Republic of China…So, with the renewed Chinese hacking someone in Beijing must have approved certain Chinese state sponsored hacking activity through the Great Firewall of China…otherwise why would the CPC be putting to death those Chinese bloggers who would challenge the legitimacy of the current Chinese political regime? Hmmm….

Cyberattacks on Rise Against U.S. Corporations

See on Scoop.it – Chinese Cyber Code Conflict

Officials said the aim in a new wave of attacks was not espionage but sabotage, and that the source seemed to be in the Middle East.

Red-DragonRising‘s insight:

ICS-CERT issued this alert that cyber attacks are now trending towards sabaotage instead of cyber espionage…combine cyber jihaist activity, e.g.; Shamoon, with cyber criminality and you have a very potent and violatile mix   directly impacting and affecting both commercial enterprises and the United States critical infrastructure…

 

Standby to standby…

See on Scoop.it – Chinese Cyber Code Conflict

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Cyber security and warfare are on par with a credible nuclear deterrent in the defense priorities of the United States, the U.S.

Red-DragonRising‘s insight:

Wait a second…didn’t the US Navy CNO say the People’s Republic of China (中華人民共和國) was not a threat according to the defensetech report just a few days ago… "Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Jonathan Greenert told the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee yesterday that the Asia Pivot Policy is working and China’s Military is NOT a threat…" and that the United States shuodl send in the Marines…albeit on US Navy Amphibs…

 

Today, 13 MAY, the same US Navy General Officer and Chief of Naval Optimism (CNO)….say Chinese cyber espionage is a THREAT…can we please make up our minds…Admiral Greenert, hello?? LOL…
