China’s cyber-militia behind U.S. blackouts?

Chinese hackers may have been behind power blackouts in Florida and the Northeast, according to a report in the National Journal.

The report, penned by Shane Harris for the National Journal, lays out a lengthy case that China has deployed hackers working unofficially and officially for the government and military to probe U.S. infrastructure. That conclusion isn’t terribly surprising, but Harris lays out a bunch of interesting points in this must-read that’s likely to get some attention today (Techmeme). One eye-opener is that the Chinese government makes little distinction between hackers that work for the government and freelance for giggles. The end result is a loose-knit cyber army.
