Topic Reading-Vol.798-6/18/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Foreign tech firms pose threat on Internet
While being accused of its military cyber-attacks to the US government and private entities, China itself accuses the US and its tech companies of their cyber information theft and wiretapping. (“wireless-tapping” to be precise these days?)
It seems that the two rivals have gotten into a cyber-war, like the US and the Soviet had a cold-war in the late 1900’s. Though the impact and effect won’t last as long as the ones nuclear radio activity poses, cyber weapons and attacks could cause even greater devastating damages to the lives of people, business operations and social infrastructures around the world in a matter of a blink affecting as many as millions because things and people are so tightly related and connected each other than ever before via the Internet.
Which side had initiated the attack before the other responded or which does more than the other is no longer the issue. Each has its own say. However, interestingly, this Chinese semi-state-run media uses a quote from Al Jazeera, a Doha based broadcaster owned by the ruling family of Qatar, along with “experts” of their own country. A new ally of China?
Enjoy reading and learning how one side accuses the other in the cyber space.
