Chinese Cyber Espionage... confirmed?

There are research firms that claim to to have traced ongoing cyber operations to China.

A report by an independent research firm concludes that the Chinese military, the People's Liberation Army, is likely behind many recent episodes of cyber espionage and cyber intrusions against the United States.

The white paper was assembled over several months by a small team of journalists and researchers, reviewing military, academic, technical and government documents as well as interviewing government sources. The paper is being made available to Congress this week. It was underwritten by Patriot Majority, an independent issue group formed in 2005 that advocates for policies that strengthen America's national security and economy.

In early 2010, major news outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post cited unnamed government sources as saying that a series of cyber intrusions, including against Google, were emanating from China. The New York Times followed up, citing government sources as saying that some attacks emanated from a technical school in China with connections to the People's Liberation Army.
