Vast Spy System Loots Computers in
103 Countries
TORONTO
— A vast electronic spying operation has infiltrated computers and has stolen
documents from hundreds of government and private offices around the world,
including those of the Dalai Lama, Canadian researchers have
concluded.
In
a report to be issued this weekend, the researchers
said that
the system was being controlled from computers based almost exclusively in China, but that they could not say conclusively that the Chinese
government was involved.
The
researchers, who are based at the Munk Center
for International Studies
at the University of Toronto, had been asked by the office of the Dalai Lama,
the exiled Tibetan leader whom China regularly denounces, to examine its
computers for signs of malicious software, or malware.
Their
sleuthing opened a window into a broader operation that, in less than two
years, has infiltrated at least 1,295 computers in 103 countries, including
many belonging to embassies, foreign ministries and other government offices,
as well as the Dalai Lama’s Tibetan exile centers in India, Brussels, London
and New York.
The
researchers, who have a record of detecting computer espionage, said they
believed that in addition to the spying on the Dalai Lama, the system, which
they called GhostNet, was focused on the governments of South Asian and
Southeast Asian countries.
Intelligence
analysts say many governments, including those of China, Russia and the United
States, and other parties use sophisticated computer programs to covertly
gather information.
The
newly reported spying operation is by far the largest to come to light in terms
of countries affected.
This
is also believed to be the first time researchers have been able to expose the
workings of a computer system used in an intrusion of this magnitude.
Still
going strong, the operation continues to invade and monitor more than a dozen
new computers a week, the researchers said in their report, “Tracking
‘GhostNet’: Investigating a Cyber Espionage Network.” They said they had found
no evidence that United States government offices had been infiltrated,
although a NATO computer was monitored by
the spies for half a day and computers of the Indian Embassy in Washington were
infiltrated.
The
malware is remarkable both for its sweep — in computer jargon, it has not been
merely “phishing” for random consumers’ information, but “whaling” for
particular important targets — and for its Big Brother-style capacities. It
can, for example, turn on the camera and audio-recording functions of an
infected computer, enabling monitors to see and hear what goes on in a room.
The investigators say they do not know if this facet has been employed.
The
researchers were able to monitor the commands given to infected computers and
to see the names of documents retrieved by the spies, but in most cases the
contents of the stolen files have not been determined. Working with the
Tibetans, however, the researchers found that specific correspondence had been
stolen and that the intruders had gained control of the electronic mail server
computers of the Dalai Lama’s organization.
The
electronic spy game has had at least some real-world impact, they said. For
example, they said, after an e-mail invitation was sent by the Dalai Lama’s
office to a foreign diplomat, the Chinese government made a call to the
diplomat discouraging a visit. And a woman working for a group making Internet
contacts between Tibetan exiles and Chinese citizens was stopped by Chinese
intelligence officers on her way back to Tibet, shown transcripts of her online
conversations and warned to stop her political activities.
The
Toronto researchers said they had notified international law enforcement
agencies of the spying operation, which in their view exposed basic shortcomings
in the legal structure of cyberspace. The F.B.I. declined to comment on the
operation.

On her show on Air America Radio today (Wednesday, January
26, 2005), Randi Rhodes stated that "Democratic" California Sen.
Dianne Feinstein's husband is a war profiteer whose firm got a $600 million
contract in Iraq. (Feinstein has supported the Bush regime's war in Iraq from
Day One, and, as you know, sings the praises of the likes of Condofuckingleezza
Rice.) Not that corruption and major conflicts of interest are anything new to
Feinstein.
Reports Wikipedia: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Critics
have frequently accused Blum and Sen. Feinstein of political corruption and
conflicts of interest arising from his business interests and his contributions
to his wife's Senate campaigns. In 1992, Feinstein was fined $190,000 for
failing to disclose that Blum had guaranteed nearly $3 million in loans to fund
her 1990 bid for California governor. In 1997, a Los Angeles Times article
revealed that while Feinstein was campaigning in the Senate for a lifting of
trade sanctions against the People's Republic of China, Blum was managing
millions of dollars of investments in Chinese businesses through his firm
Newbridge Capital. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LA Times Article March 28, 1997
Feinstein, Husband Hold Strong China Connections Asia:
Senator, Blum insist a solid 'firewall' separates her foreign policy role, his
growing business interests there. On Capitol Hill, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (DCalif.) has emerged
as one of the staunchest proponents of closer U.S. relations with China,
fighting for permanent most-favored-nation trading status for Beijing. At the
same time, far from the spotlight, Feinstein's husband. Richard C. Blum, has
expanded his private business interests in China to the point that his firm is
now a prominent investor inside the communist nation. For years, Feinstein and Blum
have insisted that they maintained a solid "firewall" between her
role as an influential foreign policy player and his career as a private in VP
But such closely coinciding interests are highly unusual for major figures in
public life in Washington. And now, as controversy heats up over improper
foreign influence in t.he U.S. political process. the effectiveness of the firewall
between those interests could be called into question.
On Thursday, after he was interviewed by The Times about
his China business, Blum announced that he will donate future profits from his
personal investments there to his nonprofit foundation to help Tibetan
refugees. "This should remove any perception that I am in anyway, shape or
form benefit from or influence my wife's position on China as a U.S. senator,'
In 1992, when Feinstein entered the Senate, Blum's
interests in China amounted to one project worth less than $500,000, according
to her financial disclosure reports. But since then, his financial activities
in the country have increased. In the last year, a Blum investment firm paid
$23 million for a stake in a Chinese government owned steel enterprise and
acquired sizable interests in the leading producers of soybean milk and candy
in China. Blum's firm, Newbridge Capital Ltd., received an important boost from
a $10-million investment by the International Finance Corp., an arm of the
World Bank. Experts said that IFC backing typically confers legitimacy and can
help attract other investors. "It seems to be going quite well,"
Rashad Kaldany—who in 1994 managed the IFC's capital markets investments in
Asia—said of the project. He added: "There also was some comfort in that
Mr. Blum had some contacts with the Chinese." Feinstein's Growing China
Policy Role Meanwhile, Feinstein's role on U.S. policy toward China has
expanded. In January 1995, she became a member of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, giving her a prominent platform for her efforts to support China's
trade privileges. Blum’s position could strictly insulate his interests when he
is so prominently involved in the China market, is visibly associated with the
leading friend of China in the Senate and has access to inner circles that
other entrepreneurs do not. In China, "everything is personal," said
Arthur Waldron, professor of strategy at the Since 1995, Feinstein has made
three visits to confer with senior government officials in Beijing. Blum has
accompanied her each time at his own expense and has attended many of her
meetings with President Jiang Zemin and other top Chinese leaders—an unusual
degree of access for a private businessman. On their trip to China in January
of last year, Blum accompanied Feinstein to dinner with Jiang in the exclusive
leaders' enclave, Zhongnanhai.
"We had dinner in Zhongnanhai in Mao Tse-tung's old
residence in the room where he died. We were told that we were the first
foreigners to see his bedroom and the swimming pool. It was a very historic
moment to see some of these things," Feinstein told a Times reporter
later. Feinstein said this week that her Senate position in no way has affected
her husband's business. She said that Blum has never sought to exploit her
influence or access to increase his opportunities in China. "My husband
has never discussed business with Jiang Zemin. never would, never has,"
she said. Said Blum: "Somebody will have to explain just how I have been
benefited because my wife goes over to China.'
THIS IS
HILARIOUS. WHO WAS THIS SHIT BLUM BEFORE HE AND HIS WIFE STARTED PULLING IN
MILLIONS OF FEINSTEIN’S CONNECTION IN CONGRESS? Ross H. Munro, co-author of the
recent China policy book "The Coming Conflict with China," said: "There is no doubt
in my mind that, if Dianne Feinstein had a pattern of taking positions on
U.S.China policy that Chinese officials disliked, Mr. Blum would have a great
deal more difficulty doing business in China and probably would find it
impossible to do." Senator Is Warned of China Overtures Already, federal
investigators have detected that the!!!!!!!!!!!! Chinese government might
attempt to seek favor with Feinstein. Last year, she was one of six
members of Congress who received warnings from the FBI that China might try to
improperly influence them through illegal campaign contributions. The inquiries
into allegedly improper Chinese political efforts in, the United States have
increased the sensitivity of Blum's associations there. Investigators are
looking at the activities of dual business-government entities, including China
International Trade and Investment Corp. (CITIC), a $20-billion, state-owned
conglomerate that is the most influential financial enterprise in China. Newbridge
Capital, the Blum business venture, has two investments with partners
originally from CITIC, said Peter Kwok managing director of the Hong Kong fund.
Kwok also serves as a consultant to a unit of China Ocean Shipping Co. That
state-owned company won rights to build a $200-million cargo terminal at the
closed Long Beach Naval Station. Blum called any purported link between China
Ocean Shipping and his firm "ridiculous." BUT PROFITABLE! Feinstein
said, "I had absolutely no knowledge" of any of this. SUCH A CHEAP
ACTRESS. SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW SHE’S ENDED UP ACQUIRING 40 MILLION IN MANSIONS
ON A SENATOR’S SALARY WHILE IN ELECTED OFFICE EITHER! In separate telephone
interviews Wednesday, Feinstein and Blum emphasized that they share a deep,
personal interest in China dating back two decades. Blum won permission from
the Chinese in 1981 to lead the first attempt in modern times to climb the east
face of Mt. Everest. He describes himself as a "close personal
friend" of the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan religious leader—a
friendship, he notes, that would not win favor with the Beijing government.
FEINSTEIN: Senator, Husband Say 'Firewall' Divides Their China Ties As a
pro-business mayor of San Francisco in the 1980s, Feinstein worked intently to
expand economic ties in the Pacific Rim, especially in China. She set out early
in her tenure to establish sister city relations between San Francisco and
Shanghai. Feinstein and her counterpart in Shanghai at the time, Jiang Zemin,
who is now China's president, agreed in 1986 to designate various corporate
entities to foster trade and other business relations. One was named Shanghai
Pacific Partners- Blum served as a director. PIMPING HIS WIFE AND HER TRUSTED
ELECTED OFFICEBlum traveled with Feinstein to China in August 1995, and January
and November 1996. Jiang Zemin personally invited Feinstein to make the first
visit.
Feinstein's support of China in Congress has been so
outspoken that she occasionally has drawn criticism. In a recent speech, she
called for creation of a commission that would study the evolution of human
rights in both the United States and China. The panel "would point out the
success and failures [of] both Tiananmen Square and Kent State," she said
in a remark denounced by some human rights advocates. Hundreds of demonstrators
were killed in the 1989 assault by the Chinese military. Four students were
killed by Ohio National Guard gunfire in the 1970 antiwar demonstration. IN
CHINA.... WHORE TRAITOR FEINSTEIN WOULD HAVE BEEN TRIED AND EXECUTED
Chinese
Spy 'Slept' In U.S. for 2 Decades Espionage Network Said
to Be Growing
By Joby Warrick and Carrie Johnson
April 3, 2008
Prosecutors
called Chi Mak the "perfect sleeper agent," though he hardly looked
the part. For two decades, the bespectacled Chinese-born engineer lived quietly
with his wife in a Los Angeles
suburb, buying a house and holding a steady job with a U.S. defense contractor,
which rewarded him with promotions and a security clearance. Colleagues
remembered him as a hard worker who often took paperwork home at night.
Eventually,
Mak's job gave him access to sensitive plans for Navy ships, submarines and
weapons. These he secretly copied and sent via courier to China -- fulfilling a
mission that U.S. officials say he had been planning since the 1970s.
Mak
was sentenced last week to 24 1/2 years in prison by a federal judge who
described the lengthy term as a warning to China not to "send agents here
to steal America's military
secrets." But it may already be too late: According to U.S. intelligence
and Justice Department
officials, the Mak case represents only a small facet of an
intelligence-gathering operation that has long been in place and is growing in
size and sophistication.
The
Chinese government, in an enterprise that one senior official likened to an
"intellectual vacuum cleaner," has deployed a diverse network of
professional spies, students, scientists and others to systematically collect
U.S. know-how, the officials said. Some are trained in modern electronic
techniques for snooping on wireless computer transactions. Others, such as Mak,
are technical experts who have been in place for years and have blended into
their communities.
The
cases are among at least a dozen investigations of Chinese espionage that have
yielded criminal charges or guilty pleas in the past year. Since 2000, Immigration and Customs Enforcement
officials have launched more than 540 investigations of illegal technology
exports to China.
The
FBI recently
heightened its counterintelligence operations against Chinese activities in the
United States after Director
Robert S. Mueller III cited "substantial concern" about
aggressive attempts to use students, scientists and "front companies"
to acquire military secrets.
Recent
prosecutions indicate that Chinese agents have infiltrated sensitive military
programs pertaining to nuclear missiles, submarine propulsion technology,
night-vision capabilities and fighter pilot training -- all of which could help
China modernize its programs while developing countermeasures against advanced
weapons systems used by the United States and its allies.
"The
intelligence services of the People's Republic of China pose a significant
threat both to the national security and to the compromise of U.S. critical
national assets," said William Carter, an FBI spokesman. "The PRC
will remain a significant threat for a long time as they attempt to develop
their military capabilities and to develop their economy in order to compete in
today's world economy."
While
military technology appears to be the top prize, the Chinese effort is also
aimed at commercial and industrial technologies, which often are poorly
protected, several officials said. "Espionage used to be a problem for the
FBI, CIA and
military, but now it's a problem for corporations," Brenner said.
"It's no longer a cloak-and-dagger thing. It's about computer architecture
and the soundness of electronic systems."
But U.S. intelligence and
defense officials say China has been able to use technology of U.S. origin in a
new generation of advanced naval destroyers and quiet-running, stealthy
submarines.
Chinese espionage has become one of the most pervasive US
counterintelligence problems, officials say.
