U.S. officials said hackers in China (click here) launched a massive cyberattack on the federal agency responsible for collecting background information on, and issuing security clearances for millions of government employees.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) said Thursday as many as 4 million current and former federal employees may have been affected. It said that number could go higher as the investigation continues.
Law enforcement officials said they believe China-based hackers, possibly with links to the Chinese government, were behind the attack, believed to be the most extensive breach of federal employee data in years....
STOP LIVING IN DISILLUSION !
China said Friday that any allegations it was involved in breaking into U.S. government computers are irresponsible.
They never denied it. It has been irresponsible to accuse China. I suppose.
The problem is the irresponsibility and WEAKNESS of computer records. No computer is secure unless it is offline.
To China I say, "It wasn't China that hacked the Iranian nuclear industry."
The accusation of Chinese hacking computers have never risen to the stats of "International Incident." There is something to be said about that besides accusations.
The United States of American's investment in foolish ideas of national security such as international surveillance of computers leaves huge holes in it's actual security. China, with its' financial interests in the USA, has every right to lecture this country.
The 'computer thing' in the USA political sphere is more or less about focusing voters on elections.
Securing the internet is nearly impossible, especially when government officials want a law that provides easy access to any "App" or device. That is an incredible statement and reality. The USA government doesn't have the expertise to find it's way into operating systems. Huh? This entire computer thing with the American people is very curious.
