Zum Thema China drängt sich aber folgender historisch/mantische Extrapolation auf: Wenn in Rumänien das Leitmedium der Revolution das Fernsehen war, welches andere Medium wird dann wohl bei Machtablöse der kommunistischen Partei etwa in China eine zentrale Rolle spielen? Hacker Group Targets Asian Govts 04/27/98 HONG KONG, CHINA, 1998 APR 27 (NB) -- By Neil Taylor, IT Daily. A group of hackers who broke into NASA and US Department of Defense computers may also have compromised networks across Asia. The group also suggested that it may break-into Chinese military networks. The group, calling itself Masters Of Downloading/2016216 (MOD) infiltrated the American government systems last year and downloaded classified information including software designed to monitor and manage GPS (global positioning system) satellites. The Department of Defense last week admitted that its networks had been breached by hackers, but denied that any classified material had been involved. In an interview with security news site AntiOnline, a person claiming to be a member of the group said that they had scanned computers in Japan and Thailand for security holes. "We have infiltrated many systems based in Eastern Europe and Asia," the member told editor John Vranesevich. More critically, the spokesman claimed to have targeted China's military networks for future action. "We have already proven our point purely by stealing classified material from the DoD over the Internet. We have a lot more pressing projects to undertake now, regarding China and other countries...as they also have defense networks." Even if the group does attempt to break into Chinese military computers, there is some skepticism as to what they could achieve. "In China, not a lot of computers that contain sensitive information are connected to the Internet," said Samuel Chanson, director of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's Cyberspace Centre. "The Internet is not very well developed in China, so I don't think the Chinese government is concerned yet." Chanson added that, while low security made China a potential target, he was unaware of any incidents involving government servers. However, he said poor security means that attacks are inevitable. "With the Internet, you can hack into any computer that's connected. So definitely, I think people will try it." A New China News Agency spokesperson said she was aware of the issue, but declined to comment. A second MOD member told AntiOnline that the group had already begun "major work" in Asia. "We are looking into information warfare exercises against more network-dependent countries, like Singapore and Japan." Chanson agreed that the region's better-developed states make far more enticing targets for intruders. "It's very logical that you can only attack those systems that are connected," he said, adding that Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong would be most susceptible to attacks. He said that it usually takes a well-publicized security breach before providers begin to take the issue seriously. Online security in Hong Kong was given very low priority until two years ago, when an unemployed graduate was caught having broken into computers around Hong Kong.
