The never ending pissing match between China and Taiwan has a new chapter. The Chinese government is looking for a purported Taiwanese spy who managed to hack into sensitive gov systems.
From International Herald Tribune:
The government-run Global Times said Tuesday that Lee Fang-rong, said to be an agent of Taiwan military intelligence, planted “Trojan” programs in computer systems belonging to unnamed economic, military and diplomatic institutions to steal classified information.
A trojan program gives a user remote access to the contents of his target’s computer.
The Global Times attributed its information to an unidentified official in a “related” Chinese department. It did not identify the department but the implication was that it was part of the Chinese intelligence apparatus.
The newspaper said that Lee was in Taiwan, but that he had previously been in Moscow, where he might have carried out the hacking.
Taiwan and China have been giving each other the evil eye now since 1949 and there really seems to be zero chance that they will ever play nice with each other.
