14 DAY TRIAL // The Chinese, who have been blamed for the recent cyber-attacks against other countries, have stated that they are also the victims of hackers. Also, their government has denied any connection with the cyber-aggression against the US, the UK, France or Germany and also said that malicious users from other countries have been attacking their government computers for a while now. This just makes it clear to me that things like this are more and more common. Everyone attacks everyone on the Web, and governments are reticent at throwing the blame to one another, as this could cause a greater conflict.
Governments have been spying on each other for many many years now, but none of them will admit it. This is just diplomacy - saying one thing out loud, while actually doing another when no one's looking. To be honest - even if these attacks were government-ordered, who would be na?ve enough to admit it? And if we are to believe what is written here, then the US is tapping India, which is tapping Germany which is tapping who knows what other country government. The list goes on. We can never know the truth for sure, we can just speculate around official declarations.
You've read the recent news, haven't you? Recently, some super-powers got their government's computers hacked. All this cyberwar idea came to us after the Financial Times reported an attack on the Pentagon's systems and linked it to the Chinese PLA. Germany, France, as well as the UK, have reported that they have been hacked by the Chinese too. Thing is that no official from these countries has stated that the PLA was behind the attack. They, however said that the hackers had their Internet Protocols originated in China, but they could not say for sure if they were under the command of the People's Liberation Army, though some journalists have speculated on that.
