Internet Traffic from U.S. Government Websites Was Routed Via Chinese Servers

There has been alot of talk on ATS about a covert war between the US and China and this report comes to light.

That would have to go pretty far out of the way for that to happen. Interesting indeed.

Wow, thats pretty worrying.

Imagine everything that's flowing via the world wide web, being filtered and logged in China.

Who's to say they didn’t put a worm in there, so they could achieve the same result without actually allowing anyone to know?
What sort of military chatter or classified comms did they intercept?
What about foreign citizens of Chinese blood when the Chinese would like to locate?

Pretty ballsy move.
