Submission + - China hacks into DRDO (domain-b.com) 1

darkstar019 writes: As Chinese hackers have hacked into India's DRDO(Defence Research & Development Organisation), it raises serious questions into whether the hackers are competent enough or are the DRDO officials foolish enough to put the blame on Chinese pen-drives as they say.

Submission + - NY Times reports conclusive evidence of hacking against US by Chinese Army (nytimes.com) 1

sotweed writes: The NY Times in Tuesday's paper is that a group in Shanghai is hacking against American companies and government agencies, and appears to be supported by and part of the Chinese Liberation Army. American intelligence officials have confirmed their knowledge of this organization. The Times says, "An unusually detailed 60-page study, to be released Tuesday by Mandiant, an American computer security firm, tracks for the first time individual members of the most sophisticated of the Chinese hacking groups — known to many of its victims in the United States as “Comment Crew” or “Shanghai Group” — to the doorstep of the headquarters of a People’s Liberation Army unit." Attention of the hackers is now turning to America's infrastructure: power grids, gas lines, waterworks, presumably via unsecured or inadequately secured SCADA systems.

You can start from slashdot(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiv_Sena), which clarifies its name. afa congress is concerned, it is ruled by a daughter of italian mafia and not entirely a hindu/north indian household. Yes, the shiv saniks together with thakrey & his son/nephew are a bunch of disciplined chaps who just enforce their wisdom on us, the average Indians and enlighten us to follow regional terrorism. so, stfu and get your facts correct.
