Fmr. CIA official: Cyber war ‘more sinister than nuclear age’
By Mick Krever, CNN
The U.S. believes that cyber warfare could begin to threaten the underpinnings of its relationship with China, New York Times journalist David Sanger told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday.
Sanger and two colleagues reported in the New York Times on Tuesday that a secretive unit of the People’s Liberation Army, the Chinese military, is responsible for most of the many Chinese cyber attacks on U.S. corporations and infrastructure.
“This is, diplomatically, I think one of the most complicated problems out there,” Sanger said. “The fact that your adversary would know that you could get into their systems and turn them on or off at any time – whether it was cell phones or air traffic control or whatever – might well affect your future behavior. So it doesn’t mean that they’re going to do it, or there’s out-and-out war, but it does mean that they have a capability to do this by remote control.” The New York Times reported last month that the newspaper was the victim of Chinese hackers – brought on, they believe, by a report on the finances of Prime Minister Wen Jiabao.
An internet security firm hired by the paper to investigate that attack has released a new report on Chinese hacking, and that report alleges the deep involvement of the Chinese military.
In fact, the security company, Mandiant, says that the attacks originate from a single 12-story building on the outskirts of Shanghai.
“It’s got thousands of people working in it,” Sanger said. His colleague, David Barboza visited the site, but was not allowed inside.
The Chinese government hotly denies all the allegations in the Mandiant report, calling them “baseless,” “irresponsible and unprofessional.”
“If it’s not coming from this building,” Sanger said, “then you’ve got to believe it’s coming from the noodle shops and restaurants that surround this building.”
Chad Sweet, a former CIA and Homeland Security official who now runs his own global security firm, said that the standoff between the U.S. and China envisages a bleak future.
“We’re essentially facing a new Cold War – a cyber Cold War,” he told Amanpour. “The destructive capacity is equal to that of a nuclear warhead… But what makes it more sinister than the nuclear age is that there’s no easily identifiable plume.”
In other words, it is very difficult to attribute a cyber attack to a source or exact retribution.
“The old ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ doctrine,” he said, “is quite difficult to implement in the modern age.”
Sweet said that he did not believe China would “pull the trigger” unless its “back was up against the wall” – for example if the U.S. threatened China’s claim over Taiwan.
But just as in the Cold War, both sides are quickly building up capacity.
“On this, American hands are not clean,” Sanger said. “That is how the U.S. got into the Iranian nuclear program.”
He is referring to the Stuxnet computer virus that the U.S. launched at Iran’s nuclear centrifuges, a story he broke last year.
Sweet claimed that the Chinese and American attacks are fundamentally different, because China allegedly targets civilian infrastructure, while the U.S. targets military installations.
Because of the nature of these programs, it is impossible to verify the extent or intent of either the U.S. or China’s cyber warfare or capability.
Sanger said that during his reporting on the Stuxnet virus, he learned of a prescient Situation Room meeting early in the Obama administration.
“President Obama said to some of his aides in the Situation Room several years ago,” Sanger recounted, “that he was worried that once the U.S. went down this road, other countries might use it as a pretense to launch their own attacks, presumably not with the discipline and the rules the U.S. has. Well I think that’s probably pretty much exactly what’s happened.”

This is a good scoop Christiane, keep following this story.
China has been positioning itself for many years. It owns a major part of our national debt thus making political relationships somewhat awkward. Read the action novel ebook, "China Express". although fiction, it is based on tday's realities. Great Report, I agree.
Discipline and rules the US has? What is that guy smoking. The US can sure dish it out, but when it comes back, what a bunch of babies.
Private companies are hacking on far greater scale,
http://wikileaks.org/spyfiles/docs/netquest/56_automated-network-survey-and-interception-of-leased-line.html
The Chinese gov't better watch out. It could be setting itself up for a disaster. Ever hear of a double agent?
One thing's for certain; no matter how bad it gets, nothing will be done to interfere with the outsourcing of jobs to China's fixed currency market for low-wage quasi-slave labor. The US ownership class has made a killing from it, and has the republican Party to keep that process in place, regardless of what is done to our Country in the process. The punchline to the big joke comes when that very same US ownership class also gets utterly dumped by China. Every day, it gets closer across each industry.
What was that old Lenin quote? – "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them"...a sad truth, that the Chinese authoritarian Communist Government has taken to heart, exploits every day, and is laughing all the way to the bank because of. Too bad the US has not the sense to see it.
No 1. US is spying on china always.
No 2. US takes china as threat= look down on yourself!
China GDP is close to US every year, but what average GDP?
China only has 1 shanghai, other areas has 20~50years distance to US.
US has the advanced techniques, what about china?
Do you know how many chinese like to studay or emigrate to states?
You, American or american media takes us as threat, means shortage of self-confidence.
The Chinese government always hotly deny everything. And they are an enemy to the United States. They only "sin" in China is getting caught.
...the people who catch us...are smarter...they dont cry bloody murder on every little shiest!
I just wonder what the US got out of this kind of propaganda war.Grow up and make up your mind,either live in peace with cooperation or go to war right now and lost half of the population on earth
Just think of all those Huwaei servers in that building ... oh and all the others in the US!
...any guess...how long we've been at it...?
Double dealer
This is another one of those propaganda campaigns by our US government via news media or individuals on Weapons of Mass Deception. DOD has already lost 2 wars: Iraq and Afghanistan and our Treasury is printing more paper money to pay our daily bills like the Police, Firemen and teachers,etc.
CIA has the best Counter-Cyber technology in the world, China is nothing compared to our highly sophisticated system. Everybody is wasting his or her time complaining or B.S... No more Trillion dollars on Wars with ... what ever country that does not agree with US A. Please stop this BS posting and debates.
CNN is one big scam, cowards to show my posts and cowards to stand up to the elites because they are ruled by them, too bad you once had a good name for yourselves, but know you just a Drama show and we just waiting for the next episode... Too bad. Media was the back bone to America's success, Today they are the footprint of another feather...Traitors.

cyber war and crimes can create havoc to any individual the ease by which your transfer money across your account can be forged and money can be swindled military secrets on designated secured servers can be hacked and compromised its upto the individual to play safe and countries to be more secured than the foriegn hackers and the local hackers too one always have the good and bad over the centuries its a ever evolving specturm when one try to keep safe and secure other try to hack and crack some do for fun some are serious on the crimes....
This whole thing is getting our of hand. First, the NY Times, generally a great newspaper, felt it had the moral authority to publicize information it knew would humiliate the leader of China. Whether it should have done that piece is debatable but I think it was stupid since losing face in China is the worst possible insult. The US is falling apart; there are so many pressing issues at home, why not cover them instead of butting in to the affairs of a nation on the other side of the planet?
Shortly upon humiliating China's leader, the NY Times' China operations were, not surprisingly, shut down. Not long thereafter, the Times says its website was hacked, and they suspected China. Then it hired experts who also pointed a finger at China. Angry that their China operations were closed and upset hackers entered their site, the Times published a major article which went far beyond reporting the fact that China might have snooped around. Their aim was to paint a picture of China as an enemy and a serious threat to American security.
Terror experts were interviewed on CNN calling China's hacking capabilities worse than the threat of nuclear war. Nonsense.First, it's possible China was not behind the hacking incident. Second, even if it were, they didn't shut down the Times - which they surely had the capability to do - or steal vital data. They might have snooped, which is indeed reprehensible, but that's about it. They didn't threaten to knock out power grids or shut down oil pipelines or interfere with aviation systems. Yet everyone in America, thanks to the Times, now regards China as an enemy whose aim is to wreak havoc on the US and perhaps try to take it over.
Worse than nuclear war? Give me a break.
This is nothing new. Computer hacking is started by the CIA intelligence services years ago. If the Americans want to punish China as recommended by Hilary Clinton, then be prepare to face a war with China. The Chinese is fed up with the western hippocrisy and double standard in their news reporting and playing the angelic role in the process. Then make the first step to neutralise China. May the best man wins in the event of a war broke between US and China.
Instrument, music, player...
>>Sweet claimed that the Chinese and American attacks are fundamentally different, because China allegedly targets civilian infrastructure, while the U.S. targets military installations.
Well, based on UN reports, that claim is nonsense: even according to the last UN report on Iran (December 2012), there are no signs that Iran has a military nuclear program. Consequently, Stuxnet _DID_ attack civilian infrastructure.
Why doesn't America provide empirical evidence to support its claim. I think the presumptuous Americans are obsessed with the disciplined Chinese might....
continue to make up, pathetic americans. seek for one excuse to attack china like you did to irak and afghanistan? good luck with your nonsense
US has been spying on Iraq and Israel since internet existed. Do not blame anyone for using your own poison tecniques(and I must say Chinese does it better).
Rubbish. . A plan which may have resulted in the physical destruction or mutilation of all life on Earth was more sinister.
This assertion is a long reach simply to create hysteria in the ignorant or unbalanced.
This is so stupid. It's the CNN can find the headquarter for the Chinese Hacking Center, then it's not even a secret.
Also shame on the USA CIA or military agencies. You have dozens of satellites hanging in the space above China for 20 years and you couldn't even figure out how to deal with it?
Welcome to china！
The 50 cent army flooding every China-related comment threat gives us a hint of how China views debate.

Gorgeous essay, acquired the satisfaction of studying magic http://www.8768gug66ftf4.com
Uh, who will be indicted by the Attorney General at that N something agency? Or it is OK for one to hack, spy, listen in on other countries' email, phone, etc., but just not OK for others to listen in? hmmm, some moral high ground here. Oh well,
America & China jointly benefit from their trade, but the relationship does not extend beyond the financial benefits. The anti sentiments flows in both directions, but l tend to find greater anti-amarican sentiment from the Chinese, particularly from their spin doctors, security personnel & hackers. This is a very strong love/hate relationship at best.
I think this topic is a lot more than just about hacking.
American corporations are quickly being eroded by Chinese counterfeiting of American technology and products.
Its time Mr. President to bring some of our largest companies back home to provide jobs for your citizens.
Get strong again America and be a little more respected worlwide.
Other than that be prepared to tackle the problem head on and that means meeting them diplomatically or militarily then so be it.

Nearly all of what you assert happens to be astonishingly accurate and it makes me ponder why I hadn't looked at this with this light before. This particular article really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this topic goes. Nonetheless at this time there is one particular issue I am not necessarily too cozy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the central idea of your position, allow me observe exactly what the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Very well done.

I have observed that of all sorts of insurance, health insurance coverage is the most controversial because of the turmoil between the insurance plan company's necessity to remain profitable and the consumer's need to have insurance policy. Insurance companies' revenue on wellness plans are incredibly low, so some businesses struggle to profit. Thanks for the tips you discuss through this site.
