The cold war in cyberspace
Politicians must take a new threat battlefield grid, financial institutions and air traffic

When the Obama administration partitioned between Internet providers an extensive U.S. confidential list of IP addresses associated with a group of hackers has stolen terabytes of data to U.S. companies, obviated a crucial fact: almost all digital addresses corresponded a Shanghai neighborhood that serves as the headquarters of the Chinese Army cibermando.
That omission shows a greater sensitivity of the Obama Administration on how to deal directly with the new Chinese leadership regarding piracy.
Washington officials say they are now more willing than before to directly accuse the Chinese. But Obama avoided mentioning China or Russia, or Iran, when he stated in his speech on the State of the Union: "We know that certain countries and companies steal corporate secrets," adding: "Now, our enemies also aim to sabotage our grid, our financial institutions and our systems of air traffic control. "
Define "enemies" in this case is not always easy. China is not a manifest adversary United States as it was once the Soviet Union, by contrast, is an economic competitor and a supplier and key customer. Last year, the two countries exchanged 425.000 million in products, and China remains, despite numerous diplomatic tensions, a financier crucial U.S. debt.
In the case of evidence that the PLA is likely to be the force behind Comment Crew, the largest of about 20 groups of hackers who follow U.S. intelligence agencies, the U.S. is very cautious. Senior administration officials were content to apply to the private security firm Mandiant CONDUCT A report that following the trail of cyber attacks to Chinese cibermando door; Washington said privately that he had no problem with the conclusions of Mandiant, but he would not say so officially.
That explains why he did not mention China as the alleged location of servers in the warning to ISPs. "We were told directly embarrass the Chinese have unwanted effects," said an official of the intelligence service. "Only become more defensive and nationalistic".
However, this view is beginning to change. In the coming months, according to U.S. officials, Washington sent numerous private warnings to the Chinese leaders, including Xi Jinping, who will soon assume the presidency. It is expected that such notices reveal that the size and sophistication of attacks in recent years, threatening to erode support for China among its most important allies in Washington: the business community.
Proposals on how to act vary greatly, from a peaceful negotiation to economic sanctions and counterattacks led by Cyber Command, a unit of the U.S. Army who participated very actively in the U.S. and Israeli cyber attacks against nuclear enrichment plant in Iran.
Some rumors are exacerbated, fed by the area of cybersecurity. But among racks takes a serious discussion about what kind of attack on U.S. infrastructure-something the Chinese hacker groups have not tried to consciousness-could make a president ordered the counterattack.
