Chinese Propaganda Accidentally Reveals Cyberwar 286
An anonymous reader writes "A Chinese military propaganda video aired in mid-July inadvertently showed a Chinese military university launching cyberattacks against U.S. websites. The Epoch Times reports the video shows 'custom-built Chinese software apparently launching a cyber-attack against the main website of the Falun Gong spiritual practice, by using a compromised IP address belonging to a United States university.' A screen in the video also reveals 'the name of the software and the Chinese university that built it, the Electrical Engineering University of China's People's Liberation Army.'"

Apparently China's best and brightest hackers need a GUI with drop-down menus and a big "Attack" button.
The sleeping dragon is strong indeed. I wonder if they have a "Pull trigger to fire" sticker on their rifles too.

And I read his comment right after he posted it, tried to reply, and it was rejected due to an "unknown error". Then the entire article disappeared for an hour.
I was beginning to think Chinese hackers took it down...
