Report: China Tied To Cyberattacks On U.S. Systems

摘要

Cyberattacks on the US Department of Defense (DOD) -- many of them coming from China -- have increased sharply this year, according to congressional testimony last month. Citing data provided by the US Strategic Command, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission said that in all of 2008, there were 54,640 malicious cyber incidents targeting DOD systems. According to the report, the US military spent $100 million to fend off those attacks between September 2008 and March 2009.
