Cyberwar?

» ,

According to Taipei Times, China has launch a systematic information warfare campaign against Taiwan with the goal to break into government database.

Well, I usually take news from Taiwan with a pint of salt but if this is true, then this may be the first international cyberwar I know…From clubs to swords to guns to smartbombs, are wars moving to Internet?

The article ends with a conclusion that “If there’s any lesson from this experience, it is not to use software developed in China or hire Chinese computer programmers, because you’re running the risk of having the software you use implanted with the Trojan-horse program”…It could jolly well be FUD to stop the trend of software development been outsource to China.
