Beware: enemy attacks in cyberspace By Demetri Sevastopulo in Washington Published: September 3 2007 19:00 | Last updated: September 3 2007 19:00 Lieutenant General Robert Elder, senior Air Force officer for cyberspace issues, recently joked that North Korea "must only have one laptop" to make the more serious point that every potential adversary - except Pyongyang - routinely scans US computer networks. North Korea may be impotent in cyberspace, but its neighbour is not. The Chinese military sent a shiver down the Pentagon's spine in June by successfully hacking into an unclassified network used by the top policy advisers to Robert Gates, the defence secretary. While the People's Liberation Army has been probing Pentagon networks hund-reds of times a day for the past few years, the US is more alarmed at the growing frequency and sophistication of the attacks. The Pentagon spent several months deflecting the recent onslaught before the PLA penetrated its system, which was shut down for more than a week for diagnosis. .
