Worth remembering that the war industry was promoting Bin Laden cyber attacks on America for years. When they actually caught Bin Laden, he was living in a crappy concrete house, without internet, an old CRT TV. Just a bloke, not a supervillain.
This is an Aussie newspaper quoting a unnamed Chinese 'ex general' (unlikely) using cyber war phrases to describe a basic sys-admins job. Is more likely to be some Chinese person they interviewed with the writer projecting that cyber-nonsense to make it a more interesting story.
Quit building up imaginary enemies into super villains. If as much effort had gone into getting Bin Laden in 2004 as went into marketing the 'cyber-terror' (now 'Cyber war') brand, then you'd have got him 7 years earlier.
If Lockheed had puch as much effort into keeping their firewalls up to date, as they do in marketing the 'cyber-war' meme, then they wouldn't be claiming to be a victim of a sustained cyber attack, they'd be calling it nuisance traffic like everyone else does.
