Back in 2004 when I was at a Model United Nations conference up in Montreal (McGill Model UN) I was on a committee acting out as the Chinese Politburo during the closed-door secret conference choosing who would be a successor to Hu Jintao. Now, I don’t know why they allowed us delegates to have a chance of technically “running” the committee by allowing the President to be a delegate rather than the administrator, but nonetheless I got to take over as President and had to deal with a war with the United States and a lackluster Japan.

Suffice it to say, with my tech nerdiness, I insisted on launching cyber attacks on the US to cripple its system (since they were running Windows and we were running ‘Red Linux.’ Of course, the administrators had no concept of technology (not surprising really, few understand cyber attacks or potentials there outside of the tech hubs) and even stupidly stated that China would not be able to hack into the US system and to drop the topic. READ: I don’t know jack about technology or the Internet and don’t want to prepare the committee on those topics so stfu on that.

Lo’ and Behold here’s some information on government sponsored cyber attacks from Slashdot:

“A new McAfee report finds that 120 countries, notably the United States and China, are regularly launching Web-based espionage campaigns. Government-sponsored cyber attacks against enemy countries are becoming more common, targeting critical systems including electricity, air traffic control, financial markets and government computer networks. This year, Russia allegedly attacked Estonian government news and bank servers, while China was accused of hacking into the Pentagon. A McAfee researcher says this trend will accelerate, noting ‘it’s easier to attack government X’s database than it is to nuke their troops.’”

Welcome to the 21st Century.

早 在2004年，当我正处于一个模拟联合国会议在蒙特利尔（麦吉尔模拟联合国） ，我就一个委员会代理作为中国政治局在闭门秘密会议选择的人将是一个接班人胡锦涛。现在，我不知道他们为什么让我们的代表有机会在技术上”跑” ，该委员会通过允许总统将是一个代表，而不是管理员，但我得到接管为主席，并已处理战争与美国和黯淡日本.

可 以说，随着我国高新技术nerdiness ，我坚持，在全国范围内开展网上袭击，对美国，以削弱其系统（因为他们正在运行windows ，我们跑’红色linux系统。 ‘当然，系统管理员没有技术概念（不真正令人惊讶的，但很少了解网络攻击或潜力外的高新技术中心） ，甚至傻表示，中国将无法潜入美国的制度，并降低了话题。改为：我不知道杰克对技术或在互联网上，不希望有准备委员会就这些议题，使stfu这方面的情 况。

卢’ ，并蔚为壮观这里的一些资料，对政府主办的网上袭击，从了slashdot ：

“一个新的mcafee报告认为， 120多个国家，尤其是美国和中国，都定期开展基于网络的间谍活动。由政府赞助的电脑攻击敌人的国家正变得越来越普遍，针对关键系统包括电力，空中交通管 制，金融市场和政府的计算机网络，这一年，俄罗斯据说袭击了爱沙尼亚政府新闻和银行服务器，而中国被指控侵入五角大楼了mcafee研究员说，这一趋势将 加快，注意到’这是比较容易攻击政府x的数据库比，这是以核其部队’ ” 。
