  • That's called social engineering and it's a widely used technique, especially by Chinese hackers.
  • ou say Chinese hackers and there's been a lot of reports about cyber espionage stemming from China. What's going on here? GJELTEN: You know, Lynn, all the cyber security people we talked to say there's just a ton of cyber espionage coming out of China these days. Hackers are stealing technological secrets, trade secrets, computer code, design plans, you name it. The security people say it's like a vacuum cleaner approach. They just suck up everything they find.
  • But what's behind this is that China wants to catch up to the west. Now, they don't have the business environment to support innovation. You don't see the Chinese equivalent of companies like IBM or Google or Apple popping up there, so rather than develop their own ideas and technology, they just steal it. That's the background here. At least, that's what we hear from U.S. intelligence officials and security people. NEARY: And the Chinese government's not acknowledging any role in this attack on the chamber of commerce? GJELTEN: They say there's no evidence, but cyber security people who have investigated other intrusions blamed on China say it's pretty easy to tie them back there and it's hard to see how the government would not be involved in some way, given the way China works. Chamber officials say they have no doubt that this intrusion did come from China.

Google also said it had evidence that a goal of the attackers was to gain access to the Gmail accounts of Chinese human-rights activists.
  • At the time, the company did not blame the Chinese government for the intrusion. But shortly thereafter, a U.S. diplomat in Beijing confidentially cabled Washington that "a well placed contact" was claiming the Google attack had been "coordinated" by the Chinese government "at the Politburo Standing Committee level."
