There's probably nothing much in this, but today's Spiegel reports that several German ministry computers in their Federal government have been found to contain a cunning trojan backdoor exploration thingy which came from China. Of course they already have one that comes from the NSA in the USA, & heck - Real Player invented the whole commercial backdoor thing ( I know Richard Stallman just told me on a youtube video ). & then there was yer man Mohammad Afroze Abdul Razzak who infiltrated Microsoft on behalf of Al Qaeda coz back in 2001 coz they knew Microsoft were infiltrating your computers. So really at the end this is just about language practise & helping you feel European & most of all not getting too cocky about your hardware, software or extensions. All the major powers are in there & the arch-villains from Fu Manchu to Bill Sikes. http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/tech/0,1518,501954,00.html |

Jump To Comment: 1 2People might have forgotten that in mid June over 1,500 computers in the Pentagon were taken off line coz they figured they were hacked. Well now the good folks on the Potamac river bank say twas the Chinese who did it.
very clever these Chinese.
For their part they (the Chinese) have said that they get as hacked as much as anyone and it's very annoying and just ask them and they will co-operate @ all www levels to stop this sort of thing.
Curiously enough the day after Fu Manchu reported above that the Chinese were blamed for hacking the German state's computers, Missus Merckel (the most powerful woman alive) asked them (the Chinese) to help out in Darfur - coz they do lots of stuff in Africa.

You know Mr Gates is adament it was the Chinese.
Mr Gates the Pentagon minister not Mr Gates the computer man who sold the Pentagon and China and Germany and Africa the same computer program. Different Gates. It's just a name.
Don't worry about it.
Look they're all spying on each other. It happens with international industrial espionage too. The main rule is not to get caught and if you do your employers/handlers instantly deny all knowledge of it. There are American spies all over China, some posing as tourists, some as business investors.
