China Finally Admits It Has an Army of Hackers for Cyberwar
|China is finally admitting what we’ve known for years: Yes, it has cyber warfare units, and plenty of them.
The nation’s government has previously denied any organized cyber warfare efforts, despite investigations pinning blame for hacking attacks on the U.S. on the People’s Liberation Army. In the latest update to a PLA publication called The Science of Military Strategy, China broke from its tradition of denying everything related to digital spying and network attack capabilities and explicitly revealed that it has specialized units devoted to using computers as weapons.
