Kenneth Rapoza wrote for Forbes and brought the lulz this late Sunday night. According to Rapoza, China’s Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi “reiterated this weekend that his country’s military is not behind cyber attacks on Western websites” and “called for ‘rules and cooperation’, instead of a cyberspace ‘war’ or politics-driven smear campaigns.” This via another pearl from our friends at China Daily. Yang went on to educate us on how reports of pervasive Chinese cyberexploitation rest on “shaky ground.”
In a truly shocking turn of events, Joe Schneider reported for Bloomberg on how “[t]he Reserve Bank of Australia was repeatedly and successfully hacked in a series of cyber-attacks with malicious software developed in China. . . .” Apparently the Chinese were collecting “information on sensitive G20 negotiations.”
