SANS Director: China Has Already Penetrated Key U.S. Databases

Jack Rogers writes on SC Magazine US:

An aggressive, non-stop campaign by China to penetrate key government and industry databases in the United States already has succeeded and the United States urgently needs to monitor all internet traffic to critical government and private-sector networks “to find the enemy within,” SANS Institute Director of Research Allan Paller told SCMagazineUS.com.

“They are already in and we have to find them,” Paller said.

Paller said that empirical evidence analyzed by researchers leaves little doubt that the Chinese government has mounted a non-stop, well-financed attack to breach key national security and industry databases, adding that it is likely that this effort is making use of personnel provided by China's People's Liberation Army.

The biter gets bit? It amazes me that people are surprised by this. The NSA and GCHQ have been doing this for years to friend and foe alike. Why the surprise when they get a taste of their own medicine. Or is just SANS touting for business?
