What good does a meeting with the Dalai Lama do? What good it does is simple — it sends a clear message to Beijing that they are not the only ones who set the agenda on the Tibet. It sends a clear message that there are limits to their sphere of influence outside their borders. [...]

Called Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), the attacks are distinctive in the kinds of data the attackers target, and they are rarely detected by antivirus and intrusion programs. What’s more, the intrusions grab a foothold into a company’s network, sometimes for years, even after a company has discovered them and taken corrective measures.
“APT is a very [...]

Whether you’re an environmentalist or someone who’s looking at peak energy or peak other things, green is an answer but green itself is very resource intensive.
That is a quandary that we haven’t faced up to in any way, shape or form. We just don’t get it. There are a lot of major dots that have to [...]

U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that December’s mass cyber attack against 33 American companies was most likely the result of a coordinated espionage campaign endorsed by the Chinese government.
Google’s revelation that they’d been hit was deemed a “watershed” moment by security industry analysts, but the other 32 companies who were hit have not followed suit [...]

Surely, the U.S. Congress that is now putting its foot down on private companies cooperating with such abusive spying elsewhere would react very angrily in the face of revelations that it was being done here. Actually, in the face of such revelations less than two years ago, they ended up on a very bipartisan basis [...]

Microsoft has not commented on Google’s decision and don’t expect the company to do so. What’s to say? We value shareholder interests above freedom and democracy? Tyranny keeps our stock high? Some of our best customers are Communist Party censors?
Certainly businesses have to balance competing interests, but at some point, compromise without question becomes surrender. [...]

In March 2009 Villeneuve uncovered “GhostNet,” (.pdf) a cyber-spying operation originating in China that was said to have targeted the Dalai Lama and other human-rights activists. Though Villeneuve has no direct knowledge of the attacks discovered by Google, he says it’s likely that they match the methods he has been monitoring.
Villeneuve says the hackers he [...]

To be clear, Google is not accusing the Chinese government of anything, and a spokesman would only say that they’ve determined the latest string of attacks “originated from within China.”
But cyber security expert Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, said that attacks like the one on Google can be judged to be [...]

Like many other well-known organizations, we face cyber attacks of varying degrees on a regular basis. In mid-December, we detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google. However, it soon became clear that what at first appeared to be [...]
