Apparently China is fast becoming the biggest source of hacking in the world:
The plundering of western technology, business and government databases by Chinese hackers is a sign of Beijing's double standards towards the
development of the internet, experts say.
According to a spokesman at the Chinese embassy in London, hacking is a crime punishable by death. But Peter Tippett, of CyberTrust, an organisation
that collects global information on the activities of hacking groups, says that last year, the 80-strong X-Focus hacking group was able to hold a
conference in the Chinese capital. Called X-Con, the conference discussed coordinating attacks on Japanese websites during the row between the two
countries over the content of school history books in Japan.
