DoD warns of growing Sino cyber threat

The US Department of Defense (DoD) has expressed concern over China's rapidly evolving cyber-warfare capabilities.

According to the Pentagon, computer systems around the world, including those owned and operated by the US government, continue to be the target of intrusions that "appear" to originate within the PRC.

Such intrusions typically focus on the rapid extraction of strategic, military and commercial data. 



"The accesses and skills required for these intrusions are similar to those necessary to conduct computer network attacks," the Pentagon stated in its annual report to Congress.

"However, it remains unclear if these intrusions were conducted by, or with the endorsement of, the PLA or other elements of the PRC government. [Nevertheless], developing capabilities for cyber-warfare is consistent with authoritative PLA military writings."
