China ‘develops viruses to attack computers’

[sarwarmhaque]

China has established special “information warfare units” to develop viruses that can attack targeted computer systems and networks, according to a Pentagon report on Chinese military capabilities published yesterday.

Examining the increasing threat posed by Chinese cyber warfare activities, the Pentagon revealed that the new units are run by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) but are also linked to the country’s civilian information technology professionals.

The report, which is an annual review for Congress of China’s military modernisation programme, said last year numerous computer systems around the world, including in the US, were the target of “intrusions”.
