Major cyber spy network uncovered

[Abarbarian]

An electronic spy network, based mainly in China, has infiltrated computers from government offices around the world, Canadian researchers say.

They said the network had infiltrated 1,295 computers in 103 countries.

They included computers belonging to foreign ministries and embassies and those linked with the Dalai Lama - Tibet's spiritual leader.

There is no conclusive evidence China's government was behind it, researchers say. Beijing also denied involvement.

I wonder why they do things like that,if the Chinese Gov` is involved that is,they must know they`ll be found out sooner or later.

Secret services have been around since day one. Some are clever than others is all.

Quite so, abarb, quite so.

Everybody's at it, Brits and the Yanks probably more so.

It's called self-preservation.

Reading a few Gerald Seymour novels, although fiction, usually gives the reader a good insight into such matters.

These are fairly modern spies. However you can take it as read that you will not ever see any mention of the spies through history that were any good. The only spies you get to hear about are the unlucky or the incompetent.
