A former senior U.S. information security official says there are nearly three-quarter million personal computers in the United States taken over by Chinese hackers.

"This is a fact that should get everyone's attention," Paul Strassmann told Government Executive magazine columnist Bob Brewin.

Strassman, who was director of defense information in the early 1990s, is now back at the Pentagon as a senior advisor, according to Brewin.

“As of the morning of Sept. 14, there were exactly (remember, Strassmann is an engineer and likes precision) 735,598 computers in the United States infested by Chinese zombies,” writes Brewin in his Monday column.
