It is pretty interesting to get a behind the scenes look at a Chinese hacker in action. Especially the part where he tries (and fails) for over an hour to get into a victim's system.

China will deny it.
The US will say there is no threat.
And round and round we go.

Nothing special.

Doesn't have to be special if it's effective.

Didn't say if wasn't effective.
I have no remorse for people and companies who use tragically out of date software that is connected to the internet and expect to NOT be fucked with.
Multiplied by a team of probably sixty guys working around the clock with impunity and government protection... yeah, that's a problem.out of date operating systems and some script kiddies' garbage hacking tools.

I'm sorry, but I find this such a dumb attitude. This is akin to saying that fat people deserve to be beat up. I mean, how can you walk around all weak and NOT expect to get a punch in the face and your underwear pulled over your head? You deserve it, hit the gym fatass!I have no remorse for people and companies who use tragically out of date software that is connected to the internet and expect to NOT be fucked with.

Big enterprise should really get accustomed to using a private LAN infrastructure and keep anything WAN to a bare minimum. From the video, it seems that whatever trojans were downloaded on the users' PCs were via email + (spear)phishing.
I'm not a hacker, but that really doesn't look all that complicated. It seems like the penetration point is always email, and it seems like it's an assumption that they're internal emails from within the company. Why not then have dedicated WAN PCs that can't interact at all with the local network? Give a few people some net access. Set up a few WAN stations with internet access that can be utilized by employees but yank the USB.
Like someone said, it's clearly effective, but it doesn't seem all too complicated either. It just goes to show that the weakest point when it comes to security are the user themselves.
It's naive to think China's government aren't using cyber espionage. However, before everyone goes all "OMG China is evil!" on us - it's also extremely naive to think that the west don't do it too.
You're confusing two things here. You can pull WAN access from people's computers, but email gets managed at the server level and still goes out to the internet.
And it's a little difficult for most companies to block all external email for people when nearly every business has to use email to contact customers.
You don't watch the news much do you? And no, Fox "News" doesn't count.
I understood none of what I just watched.

Maybe you should watch Fox, and think for yourself for once, instead of being a sheep and bashing Fox like the liberal propaganda tells you to. Fox is better than ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN.
note to self...add 58.247.0.0/16 to iptables drop list.
oh china unicom.
But in hackers it was so Zero Cool ammirte?!?!?!That was incredibly boring.

CNN, BBC News etc. aren't going to report on us hacking other countries are they? Does the Chinese news/press report on their government hacking the west?! I doubt it.
Obviously I don't know for certain, but I really do think we're every bit as bad as everyone else. And if we aren't then we're in trouble if some kind of conflict ever does occur. It's the nature of the beast.
