China accidentily reveals it's behind cyber attacks on the US

[CptStern]

It was supposed to be just another piece of Chinese propaganda. It ended up as a major “oops,” revealing that a Chinese military university is engaged in cyberwarfare against the U.S.

The Epoch Times reports that the film, screened in mid-July, included a screenshot that it calls a “damaging revelation.”

The screenshots appear as B-roll footage in the documentary for six seconds—between 11:04 and 11:10 minutes—showing custom-built Chinese software apparently launching a cyber-attack against the main website of the Falun Gong spiritual practice, by using a compromised IP address belonging to a United States university.

But it gets better. A translation of the screenshot says “Choose Attack Target,” and then the operator selects an IP address, 138.26.72.17. There’s also a big “Attack” button on screen. You may be wondering: Where is that IP address is located? We have an answer: How about the University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB).

“The CCP has leaked its top secret here,” Jason Ma, a commentator for New Tang Dynasty Television, told the Times. “This is the first time we see clearly that one of the top Chinese military universities is doing this research and developing software for cyber-attacks. There’s solid proof of it in this video.”

Of course, the Chinese government has long denied any such actions.

Thank god we were leaked this film-grade Visual Basic GUI in time. I can't give up my freedoms fast enough to deal with all these threats!

What if... it's all lies so the Government can't put greater restrictions on internet use and cyber activity?

*Goes back to playing Deus Ex*

Yep, it's pretty much expected and long been suspected.

Chinese society is evolving and advancing, but the same can't be said for the Chinese government.
