Chinese suspected of hacking into highly classified databases

What has been dubbed; Ghostnet is an independent study performed at the University of Toronto that recently uncovered a multitude of underground computer hacking rings based primarily in China, operating all over the world.

Chinese hackers have apparently been hijacking and compromising highly classified documents from countries all around the world by tapping into their networks and extracting the data. Although reporters and analysts are unsure as to what the information is actually used for, Chinese government officials refute claims made against them, suspicious of their participation in the program.

Chinese Foreign ministry offical Qin Gang said in a statement released last week:

China is opposed to and would seriously deter hacking activities, and had enacted clear laws against hacking

Time will tell as information is still being gathered after 10 thorough months of surveillance. At this point only one 27 year old chinese man has been charged.
