Big Brother Goes Global

The NY Times reported today that researchers have found a major spy system to be compromising governmental and private computers around the world. The system is being controlled by enlarge from computers in China. The spyware can even enable the video and audio applications of a chosen system. Sensitive systems including those of the Dali Lama, the Indian Embassy in Washington, and a NATO computer have been hacked by the spies. In at least one case the spied material was used to “warn” an intermediary, helping to make connections between Tibetan exiles and Chinese citizens, to stop her political activities. The Chinese government? The CIA? Big Brother still doesn’t have a name.

To be continued . . . . maybe. Right?!
