U.S. Congressman Frank Wolf said four computers in his office were hacked back in 2006 and claimed other congressional computers were hacked as well. Wolf claims that, based on investigations and conversations with the FBI, the attacks originated from China. The attacks were allegedly in response to his outspoken criticism of China's human rights records and affected computers used by Wolf's chief of staff, his legislative director as well as those of his human rights staff member and the staff person responsible for judiciary affairs. Wolf is not alone as other groups have reported being attacked after speaking out against China. While the Chinese government may not be directly involved, as the culprits may likely be individuals motivated by nationalistic pride, their implicit involvement in turning a blind eye to the attacks is what angers many. Today, a spokesperson for China's foreign ministry denied the allegations, saying China couldn't have been involved as they lack the technology and technical expertise to have pulled it off. This flies in the face of increased reports of other incidents, including one involving the laptop of U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez. Additionally, the Pentagon claims China has developed a first-strike capability for any looming cyberwar and has teams responsible for developing viruses intended to cripple an enemy's networks.
