The New E-spionage Threat

Posted by Matt in April 14th, 2008

A BusinessWeek probe of rising attacks on America’s most sensitive computer networks uncovers startling security gaps

The e-mail message addressed to a Booz Allen Hamilton executive was mundane—a shopping list sent over by the Pentagon of weaponry India wanted to buy. But the missive turned out to be a brilliant fake. Lurking beneath the description of aircraft, engines, and radar equipment was an insidious piece of computer code known as “Poison Ivy” designed to suck sensitive data out of the $4 billion consulting firm’s computer network.

The Pentagon hadn’t sent the e-mail at all. Its origin is unknown, but the message traveled through Korea on its way to Booz Allen.

Forbes Discusses Chinese Espionage on Fox News
On Feb. 11, the United States announced that four individuals were arrested on charges of conducting espionage operations for the Chinese against American interests. One employee, who worked for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, was hours from meeting his Chinese intelligence service contact when he was arrested. Congressman Forbes discussed this event and the threat of Chinese espionage in an interview with Fox News.

There are new fears that espionage between East and West is on the increase, despite the end of the Cold War.

Rare - 8375kHz Chinese spy numbers station
This is a rare catch, one I came across purely by chance. It appears to be a null message, as the same set of numbers/characters are repeated. With some digging around, it translates as - "All listening stations in the country" three times, then "This is Beijing" two times, ending with "Thanks". http://www.cvni.net/radio/e2k/e2k007/e2k07vs.html Little work for the spy or government spook that the message was probably intended for. Numbers stations such as these are used by various intelligence agencies to get messages to spies without them being traced. This station rarely seems to send any actual spy number traffic, but there are recordings of numbers being read elsewhere. This is a good example, recorded back in 1999: http://home.planet.nl/~boend177/peking.zip I recorded this...

Government Analyst Charged With Selling Secrets To China
This video is inspired by the true story below: A Defense Department analyst and two Chinese nationals living in New Orleans are facing spying charges today for allegedly selling military secrets to the Chinese government. The FBI raided a home in an upscale, uptown New Orleans neighborhood today in connection with the espionage case. All three are accused of selling U.S. data intended for Taiwan to the Chinese government in Beijing, federal law enforcement officials said. The Justice Department said Tai Shen Kuo, 58, and Yu Xin Kang, 33, both of New Orleans, have been charged with conspiracy to disclose national defense information to a foreign government. Defense Department analyst Gregg William Bergersen, 51, of Alexandria, Va., was charged in a separate complaint with...

FBI Confidential -- China's Cyber Terrorism?
According to a leaked secret FBI document, Chinese counterfeiters have sold close to 75 million dollars of fake Cisco Systems routers to the U.S. military. This revelation raises troubling questions about both the integrity of U.S. defenses in cyberspace and the possible motives of a foreign government with a long rap sheet for military espionage and cyber hacking. At least some of China's fake routers may be specially designed to provide Chinese hackers with undetectable "back doors" into the highest echelons of classified information throughout the defense department bureaucracy.

Beware of China`s Spies
AAAA.011450Z DEC 2007 I would like to draw your attention to the writing in Chinese; By all accounts in the 1970`s plaques such as this one were posted all over the country to warn citizens against the activities of spies. It reads as follows:-`At all times protect secrets everywhere guard against spies.`The coat of arms you see next to the Chinese Warning is that of The Security Service MI5 ! And as the Tag I have have written underneath is worth reading,...But if you feel you do not want to read the Word of God ! We should be watching !...Now as we have heard of the increase in espionage from the Russians and now Chinese,it would be good to reflect what the N/T HEBREWS 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau,who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. This is...

Communist China's a Threat to our World
CCP's Communist ideology is the enemy of democracy. As for today's China, Western intelligence/espionage is more difficult in it than it was in Soviet Russia, since the Chinese language and culture are more different from their Western counterparts than were the Russian language and culture even in Stalin's Russia. The result? The all-seeing Chinese intelligence/espionage versus the blind Western intelligence/espionage with respect to China. To quote one paragraph from "The Threat from China and the Threat from Inaction: Which Is Worse?" The Chinese spies have already stolen EVERY U.S. nuclear weapons design, and have acquired U.S. MIRVing and other launching and targeting technologies. Further, as if this isn't enough, they also have acquired the supercomputers needed to design and...
