Laptop copied during U.S. Commerce secretary's Beijing trip; Department's computers later hackedEast-Asia-Intel.com, June 6, 2008
Chinese intelligence agents are suspected of copying the contents of a U.S. government laptop computer during a visit to China by Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez.Investigators believe Chinese agents used data from the laptop to hack into Commerce Department computers.
Officials and industry experts said the laptop compromise occurred in December during Gutierrez's trip to Beijing for trade talks, the Associated Press reported. The surreptitious copying was thought to have occurred when a laptop was left unattended.
Gutierrez told the AP he could not discuss the matter because it is under investigation.
China's intelligence services are among the most aggressive in targeting foreign travelers in China. Laptop computers are major targets of both government and private sector visitors, according to U.S. officials.
It's not the copying...I'd do that..it's what happened after.
That means we should spike randomly, american laptops, taken to china by americans (even, and maybe ESPECIALLY..on business trips) with specially designed time delayed viruses which, when they recognize that the machine equipment list (cards, devices, memory etc) has changed (eg they are on a different system, and copied) compromise and damage the networks they are on.
IS EVERYONE FRIGGIN HAPPY FOR IBM NOW? THINK THAT MAYBE THERE ARE STRATEGIC CONSEQUENCES FOR CERTAIN SALES?
