Germans spooked Chinese backdoor virus in State PC's Miscellany

category international | sci-tech | other press author Saturday August 25, 2007 13:23author by Fu Manchu Report this post to the editors

There's probably nothing much in this, but today's Spiegel reports that several German ministry computers in their Federal government have been found to contain a cunning trojan backdoor exploration thingy which came from China. Of course they already have one that comes from the NSA in the USA, & heck - Real Player invented the whole commercial backdoor thing ( I know Richard Stallman just told me on a youtube video ). & then there was yer man Mohammad Afroze Abdul Razzak who infiltrated Microsoft on behalf of Al Qaeda coz back in 2001 coz they knew Microsoft were infiltrating your computers. So really at the end this is just about language practise & helping you feel European & most of all not getting too cocky about your hardware, software or extensions. All the major powers are in there & the arch-villains from Fu Manchu to Bill Sikes.

http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/tech/0,1518,501954,00.html
Of course we don't know if this Chinese trojan backdoor thingy is the work of a commercial type or a state sponsored cold war global espionage thing. You'd have to work that out.

Meanwhile for people who like to think of the Chinese as our enemies, a reminder of the He Weihua case. Mr He Weihua being a blogger who this week "brezhnov style" got sent to a psichiatric hospital http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=23365 for writing stuff here http://www.boxun.com/hero/hewh/
& there's nothing wrong with him the psichiatric way according to his mother. Still we could ironically reflect that the majority of Irish people when polled in April 2007 thought people with mental problems ought not be sent to Irish prisons but psichiatric hospitals instead. They haven't got up to the trojan backdoor thing yet http://www.iprt.ie/press/1931

The Chinese are of course getting ready for the Beijing Olympic games & so are fair game for all our hypocritical as well as justified opposition. So let's oppose their "bloggers pledge" -
http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=23372

Here's yerman Stallman on backdoors & real player (just in case you didn't know every time you visit RTE and watch their news - someone is spying on you.) http://youtube.com/watch?v=KGlNTEQ0RzM&mode=related&search=
Al Qaeda & Microsoft & blaa blaa - http://amazingtechs.com/index.php?showtopic=422&mode=th...eaded
which leaves us wondering who writes your warrent (to spy on you)

it's all so banal. which is really where many people go wrong in getting paranoid. the data saturation age.....

People might have forgotten that in mid June over 1,500 computers in the Pentagon were taken off line coz they figured they were hacked. Well now the good folks on the Potamac river bank say twas the Chinese who did it.
very clever these Chinese.
For their part they (the Chinese) have said that they get as hacked as much as anyone and it's very annoying and just ask them and they will co-operate @ all www levels to stop this sort of thing.

Curiously enough the day after Fu Manchu reported above that the Chinese were blamed for hacking the German state's computers, Missus Merckel (the most powerful woman alive) asked them (the Chinese) to help out in Darfur - coz they do lots of stuff in Africa.

You know Mr Gates is adament it was the Chinese.
Mr Gates the Pentagon minister not Mr Gates the computer man who sold the Pentagon and China and Germany and Africa the same computer program. Different Gates. It's just a name.
Don't worry about it.

Look they're all spying on each other. It happens with international industrial espionage too. The main rule is not to get caught and if you do your employers/handlers instantly deny all knowledge of it. There are American spies all over China, some posing as tourists, some as business investors.
