Chinese Cyber Offensive

It's no secret the Chinese government, or people working for it, are on a cyber offensive. One expert says, what China wants is information on how to build unmanned aircraft. Darien Kindlund is manager of threat intelligence at Fire-Eye, a cybersecurity vendor. He points out that Shanghai hackers have spent two years going after a total of 20 defense contractors. The New York Times reports, Kindlund's assessment is supported by the Project 2049 Institute in Arlington. The Asia-focused think tank says China is striving to have drone-building capabilitiesof its own. Research Fellow Ian Easton says cyber-spying is one way China can get a leg up on the technology.
