Chicoms Crack Confidential Congressional Computers
2008-06-11
Two House members said Wednesday their Capitol Hill computers, containing information about political dissidents from around the world, have been hacked by sources apparently working out of China.

Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf says four of his computers were hacked. New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith says two of his computers were compromised in December 2006 and March 2007. The two lawmakers are longtime critics of China's record on human rights.

In an interview Wednesday, Wolf said the hacking of computers in his Capitol Hill office began in August 2006. He says a computer at a House committee office also was hacked, and he suggested others in the House and possibly the Senate could be involved.

The FBI declined to comment.

#4  Story needs a little more conspiracy to it.

How about the Dems paid the Chicoms to break in to get dirt on McCain from the PC's of his fellow Republicans, then leak it to the NYT in the form of "anonymous, high ranking Republican insiders."

#3  ChiComs Crack Confidential Congressional Computers

The Sons of Bitches leak and sell all OUR Intel anyway...
So the only impact as far as I can tell will be that The Useless Bastards will be blackmailed a little easier now... for the usual Congressional habits of stealing and for their perverted acts with other deviants like themselves..

Overall a big BFD

#1  Nice to see the government takes their own security as seriously as they do our border security.
