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.
