Chinese hack into Congressional computers
In 2006 and 2007, Chinese government officials hacked into computers in the offices of both Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.).China has denied the hacking but Rep Wolf said "It was confirmed to me by intelligence agencies of our government" .
The Bush administration has reportedly asked that lawmakers stay quiet on the issue.
"For some reason, the Bush administration is -- only hearing what they want to hear and they are disregarding the fact that China is having cyber attacks against many federal agencies."
Did I mention that early in 2008 our website at Dream for Darfur was hacked into by the Chinese? So was the Team Darfur site (Olympic speed skater Joey Cheek's organization) and the sites of the Genocide Intervention Network and Save Darfur, as well.
