China Reveals Its Cyberwar Secrets

A high-level Chinese military organization has for the first time formally
acknowledged that the country's military and its intelligence community have
specialized units for waging war on computer networks. China's hacking
exploits, particularly those aimed at stealing trade secrets from U.S.
companies, have been well known for years, and a source of constant tension

and gas pipelines, via cyber attacks.
