According to experts, it was the vast majority of these attacks coming from China, which they see as responsible for the attack, 1.6 billion each month at various British institutions.
Broadcast satellite «Sky News» News report from its correspondent in Beijing, Holly Williams, described by British experts as «terrible».

Examples of frightful
Pirates can move freely on a wide range starts from the acquisition of the identities of individuals and details of their bank accounts and passes stealing industrial secrets and technology, has up to disable power grids, transportation, water resources and military, in the event of war or reprisals just ... In other words, the West was at the mercy of all of China.

It was all about what you know that in the first twenty years old, and he came to Beijing from a small town in the south of the country, did not receive any training on computer use, but self-taught. He asked them begin the process of buying from any store you choose on the Internet. During the few minutes he had stolen all personal and banking details, and presented them printed on paper.
I asked him if he could penetrate the most heavily guarded sites, such as government and Western military, he said: «Even the strongest security measures suffer gaps here and there. The organizers of the devices fortified think they are safe from hacking, because they have the most advanced software in the world. But nothing prevents penetration. Every weak point in the fence somewhere ».

The Chinese government says it is chasing the pirates, and that they had arrested last year on hundreds of them, and closed the «school» of electronic piracy, she was of 180 thousand «students». But the fact that the number of Chinese hackers countless hundreds of thousands, if not millions, and that «schools» of that kind, but does not know the number, there are many of the lowest description.
The report came in the presence of correspondence «conference» Pirates of the public organized by the group known in the hotel of four-star in the Chinese capital.

The conference clearly «links» between the murky waters of online piracy and the Chinese government itself. The man gave himself to the correspondence that the client security, and said: «We are here to find out if they (pirates) we can take advantage of it before moving another step forward. We believe that allowing them to go out into the open and virtual cooperation with them and a better way than trying to chase them and they in secret ».
Even the Pentagon easy prey
Chinese hackers accused of Pachtrachm U.S. Department of Defense «Pentagon» more prestigious computers immunized in the world, and also other West fortifications columns, such as Germany, France and Britain.
