Say Hello to a Chinese Hacker from China?s Military
front

Bloomberg Business Week reported that a network security expert from Dell has revealed a hacker?s military identity in China. The hacker, named Zhang Changhe, can freely hack into the website of the US embassy in China, foreign governments and companies in China. The report said that the Dell?s expert has found several hackers used the same set of Malware last year. The IP addresses used by these hackers are all registered and belong to China Unicom, one of the China?s largest Internet service providers. One hacker came from Zhengzhou in Henan Province in China, his real identity and email address had been traced. Zhang?s profile was finally publicized, including photos of him with his wife and child. Zhang currently serves as an assistant lecturer at a university, which is a military research institution controlled by the national PLA (People?s Liberation Army) ?

Computer attacks from China occasionally cause a flurry of headlines, as did last month?s hack on the New York Times. According to Bloomberg?s report, there is a tremendous amount of manpower being thrown into cyber-attacking in China. Investigators suspect many if not most of those hackers either are military or take their orders from some of China?s many intelligence or surveillance organizations. The attacks are too organized and the scope too vast to be the work of freelancers. More and more security experts are now hunting for Chinese Internet spies. Outing one person involved in the hacking teams properly won?t stop computer intrusions from China, but showing some evidence will eventually make the Chinese government can?t deny its role. For more inside story, you can head to Bloomberg?s page for more details, it?s a suspenseful story.
