Chinese Hackers are Advanced!

From CNN:
The FBI Cyber-crime Division, established to combat computer intrusions, has seen hundreds of cases in which hackers using Chinese Web sites have compromised unclassified official U.S. networks.

Man, these guys are so far ahead they have web sites setup to hack! (one-click hacking?) Must be the same hackers that use those 3D GUIs in all of those movies when writing "1024 bit encrypted multi-headed hydra/worm/viruses with built in radar detectors".

I need some of this technology. I have to look at a screen with text! How antiquated can you get? I need hand-gesture interfaces with true holographic 3D displays, leather pants, and techno muzak in the background if I'm ever gonna reach super star programmer status.

get with the program man, techno is the rage

and those 3D guis look far more productive, the way they could never find what they were looking for as part of the plot...

but as far as the FBI setting up marker sites, I think thats a good idea... set up a server or two that are "easier" to hack as a guise to find out who's doing the hacking. and who's possibly using the hack result for some purpose.

remember that first major "chinese hack"... red something... its a whole lot better then finding out that all 10 of your home servers (that you dont use much) were sitting there hacked, and possibly resending spam mail...

that was creepy.

Yeah, and what's with all of your correct spellings and grammar? Everyone knows it's 30% more productive to spell "the" "teh" and replace letters with numbers.

Great post.
