Marketing and Technology News

There is a CNN story about an uncomfortable development in
world politics and information technology. According to General Robert
Elder, an Air Force military man setting up a “cyber command” in
Louisiana’s Barksdale Air Force Base, the nation of China is already in
the process of developing their own “cyber warfare” techniques. While
Elder described the bulk of China’s operations as focusing on espionage,
they and others around the world have more serious goals in mind.

“The Defense Department said in its annual report on China’s military power
last month that China regarded computer network operations — attacks,
defense and exploitation — as critical to achieving “electromagnetic
dominance” early in a conflict. China’s People’s Liberation Army has
established information warfare units to develop viruses to attack enemy
computer systems and networks, the Pentagon said. China also was
investing in electronic countermeasures and defenses against electronic
attack, including infrared decoys, angle reflectors and false-target
generators, it said.”
