Mammoth Espionage Offensive Underway

     In a communication dated August 25, China Reform Monitor reported that since 2003, a giant cyber-espionage attack from Guandong Province in south China, has been underway.  The American government has dubbed this massive Chinese computer espionage ring  "Titan Rain." It has begun penetrating sensitive U.S. government and business networks.

 

Time magazine reports that the infiltration committed by these cyber spies is considered by government officials to be “serious,” and includes breaches of facilities such as the Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico and the U.S. Army’s Aviation and Missile Command. US analysts have traced this activity back to China’s Guandong province and suggest that it made up of multiple hackers manning six to ten computer terminals around the clock. The conclusion of US analysts is that this well-organized and financed espionage is state sponsored.”
