Hacktivistism Chaos - Cyber Challenges in China Compromise Communism
Although China claims that the hackers in their country are not sponsored by the government, there is ample reason to believe and evidence that, that is not exactly or entirely the case.
Of course, the first thing they teach you in the intelligence industry is to deny any accusations, so it shouldn't be too surprising that the Chinese government denies all accusations that it is involved in cyber warfare against the United States of America, and perhaps that is the case? However, they say what goes around comes around, and maybe things are coming around to China now.
Perhaps those patriotic hackers, or hacktivists in other countries are challenging China's great firewall, and government computer systems as well.
Not long ago, I read an article which got me thinking, the article was written by Richard Clarke, the former national security official of the White House during three different presidencies.
In his editorial in the Wall Street Journal titled "China's Cyber Assault on America" published on June 15, 2011 he made some very interesting comments.
Namely he suggested that "if we discovered Chinese explosives laid throughout our national electrical grid, we would consider it an act of war.
Digital bombs pose a grave threat.
" Okay so, now he's put it in very interesting terms, in a way that everyone can understand, and remember he is in the know, as a national security official, so he's pretty sure where it's coming from.
Now then, I would submit to you that China will be under the same gun, perhaps from within their own country or from hacktivists elsewhere in the very near future.
In fact it's already starting to happen, as we've seen many news reports that hackers have broken into the Chinese government, and leaked all sorts of information.
In fact they've leaked information of corruption, and financial fraud as well.
This is costing China's stock market, and inflows of foreign investment, at the most inopportune time interestingly enough.
Perhaps China was naïve to think that they can have it both ways, but no one is exempt from hackers, and they come from all over the world.
Over half of the young people in school in China when asked what they'd like to be when they grow up, instead of saying a fireman, policeman, or fighter pilot, they say; I want to be a hacker.
And exactly who are they going to hack? Are they going to continue to try to hack into American computers, or will they turn on their own government which is censoring all their information? Right now, there seems to be plenty of strong rooted nationalism in China, and they look outward to do their hacking because if they get caught there will be no punishment, but I am quite certain that will change in the future, in fact I believe it already has.
Like I said, what's that famous quote; "what comes around goes around," and indeed I ask that you please consider all this and think on it.
