Chinese Hacking
Despite strict laws against hacking, Chinese hackers are being urged to
target US systems in retaliation for the recent mid-air collision, and
Vigilinx CEO Bruce Murphy believes the Adore worm was written in
retribution for the incident. In 1999, Chinese hackers attacked a
number of US government systems in retaliation for the bombing of the
Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. A security consultant recently discovered
that a Chinese hacker authored the Lion worm. The Chinese government
requires anti-virus vendors to provide complete virus code samples if
they want to do business in China, leading some security experts to
question their motives.
