Leading U.S. politician accusing China massive cyber espionage

Mike Rogers, chairman of the Intelligence Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, sees the People's Republic of China as the mastermind of a "massive trade war" over the Internet will "against us" out. The amounts made by the Republicans comprehensive Chinese cyber-espionage has reached a "no longer tolerable level," Rogers said during a hearing Tuesday in Washington. The U.S. must therefore work together with their allies in Europe and Asia make their significant diplomatic and economic influence to curb the "plague" and "piracy" stop.

Rogers complained primarily a "theft of intellectual property" industrial scale. As an example he cited the attacks on networks of Google, which had become known in recent years and where valuable documents were lost. This case, however, put the tip of an iceberg dar. Other companies were talking behind closed doors again and attacks that they originated in China. The cyber attacks were so sophisticated that they must stand behind government support. Him no other activity of a government spy in history was known, which is going to open to steal data from companies. Therefore, it is not sufficient anymore to solely improve IT security in their own country and the exchange of information about it.

The former head of the CIA and the National Security Agency (NSA), Michael Hayden, appeared at the hearing also shocked by the depth and persistence of Chinese espionage efforts against the USA on the Internet. That the public whose true dimensions are not looking over lies, even at excessive secrecy within government regulations. Arthur Coviello, chief executive of security firm RSA SecurID authentication service which was recently hacked, talked about elements of an "advanced, yet continuing threat of unknown proportions." Its own systems were compromised via targeted e-mail attacks on staff. Kevin Mandia from security services provider Mandiant complained that "the intellectual property of our nation continues to flow into the wrong hands," and this undermines the competitiveness of the United States.

The Chinese government has vehemently rejected the accusations of himself. A representative of the Chinese Embassy in the United States stressed to the Washington Post that we are dealing with unwarranted and irresponsible speculation. China has repeated itself and become victims of international hacking question thus vigorously against criminal acts. China worked hard together with the international community to make cyberspace more secure. U.S. officials accuse Beijing of being involved for some time, in Onine attacks and call for a stronger international debate about such conflicts.
