China Spies On The Internet

Via Slashdot:
Researchers, examining the attacks on Google and over 20 other companies in December, have determined 'the source IPs and drop server of the attack correspond to a single foreign entity consisting either of agents of the Chinese state or proxies thereof.'"

If the report's findings are correct, it suggests that the government of China has been engaged for months in a massive campaign of industrial espionage against US companies.
Google is actually upset about this. It fought back and uncovered proof and is talking about pulling out of China. Lots more here at the New York Times.

Good geek stuff here.
