Hackerganda... Buzzword? Who cares. Lets play Politrix, here goes...

"China has downloaded 10 to 20 terabytes of data..." said Maj. Gen.
William Lord, director of information, services and integration in the
Air Force’s Office of Warfighting Integration and Chief Information
Officer, during the recent Air Force IT Conference in Montgomery, Ala.
(http://www.computerworld.com/blogs/node/3320)

1) 10 - 20 terabytes? Undetected? What a marvelous feat. What kind of
connection did they have to do this without being detected since they
bbviously they went undetected for at minimum, 10 terabytes of data
according to this quote. Who was watching logs? Were they asleep at the
wheel too a-la 9/11 pseudointelligence agencies. Maybe China borrowed
Peter Lothberg's mothers backbone to do this
(http://slashdot.org/articles/07/07/12/1236231.shtml)

2) Notice how the remainder of the quote was left off? Here it is in
full: “China has downloaded 10 to 20 terabytes of data from the NIPRNet
(DOD’s Non-Classified IP Router Network),”  Funny NIPRnet is unimportant
information in fact a majority of it can be found via
www.google.com/unclesam

Outside of this play on words in all honesty if the US government gets
its information stolen then they deserve it. What the hell am I paying
uber taxes for outside of the War in Vietnam2k.

Here is a "story" since people will make what they want out of it. Story
goes, a friend was talking to another friend who happened to be a
platoon leader in Iraq. The military friend spoke in angst to his friend
because his squadron was sending out orders to each other pre-tour via
hotmail and IM. Secret, Top Secret information... All went out via non
secure channels. Hows that for security.

How about those moronic diplomats who confused anonymity with security
and were logging into their email accounts with a tor proxy. Hrmm...

Funny thing is I leave this opened purposely as part of a honeypot.
Never have I used my squid proxy server but guess what:

Wait... Am I running an analyzer!@^@%$ ... The government needs to get
their stuff together period. As for the "hey chinese hax0red our
google.gov toolbar" ... "no USA hacker Chinese Great Steamed Dumplings"
BS its all political chess. If the US truly wanted to stop it they COULD
(note the word COULD), question should be do they really want to or are
they (the US) simply filling these "vulnerable" machines with honeypot
garbage material.
