China mum on French defence hacking claim
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22395409-23109,00.html
From NEWS.com.au:
""We don't have any information on that," a ministry spokesman said when asked
for a response to the statements from French Secretary General of National Defence, Francis
Delon.
Mr Delon said on Saturday that information systems in France had been
infiltrated by groups involving China,
although he did not directly implicate the Chinese military as unnamed officials in
other countries have done."

Given all the noise here (e.g. Pentagon, Whitehall, German
Chancellery, and previously: Titan Rain), there seems to be
quite a bit of saber rattling here.
Just an FYI.

Chinese military hackers have prepared a detailed plan to disable
Americas aircraft battle carrier fleet with a devastating cyber attack,
according to a Pentagon report obtained by The Times.
The blueprint for such an assault, drawn up by two hackers working for the
Peoples Liberation Army (PLA), is part of an aggressive push by Beijing
to achieve electronic dominance over each of its global rivals by
2050, particularly the US, Britain, Russia and South Korea.
Chinas ambitions extend to crippling an enemys financial, military
and communications capabilities early in a conflict, according to military
documents and generals speeches that are being analysed by US
intelligence officials. Describing what is in effect a new arms race, a
Pentagon assessment states that Chinas military regards offensive
computer operations as critical to seize the initiative in the first
stage of a war.
