China Seeks To Hack & Disable US Fleets

"China’s cyber army is preparing to march on America, says Pentagon" from Times of London reports that China's military, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) hacking operation, is planning to disable American aircraft battle carrier fleet as one aspect of its plan to establish cyber dominance globally over its rivals in all spheres.  They have made around 79,000 attempts and have penetrated over a thousand times.

The plan to cripple the US aircraft carrier battle groups was authored by two PLA air force officials, Sun Yiming and Yang Liping. It also emerged this week that the Chinese military hacked into the US Defence Secretary’s computer system in June; have regularly penetrated computers in at least 10 Whitehall departments, including military files, and infiltrated German government systems this year...

Larry M. Wortzel, the author of the US Army War College report, said: “The thing that should give us pause is that in many Chinese military manuals they identify the US as the country they are most likely to go to war with. They are moving very rapidly to master this new form of warfare.” The two PLA hackers produced a “virtual guidebook for electronic warfare and jamming” after studying dozens of US and Nato manuals on military tactics, according to the document.
