Kneeling for children and stretching to embrace taller people, a college student believes she’s hugged her way into the record books.

According to the Financial Times, the Chinese military hacked into a Pentagon network in June in the most successful cyber attack yet on the U.S. military. Success, of course, is relative, and while the attack most likely didn't compromise any classified information, it did force U.S. officials to shut down part of a network serving the office of Defense Secretary Robert Gates for more than a week, sources told the FT. The sources also said the incursion had the fingerprints of the People's Liberation Army all over it -- a "very high level of confidence ... trending towards total certainty," in the words of one. This breach apparently goes beyond the standard probing and counterprobing that intelligence agencies on both sides practice. "The PLA has demonstrated the ability to conduct attacks that disable our system ... and the ability in a conflict situation to re-enter and disrupt on a very large scale," a source told the FT. China, naturally, is shocked, shocked, at such reports. "We have explicit laws and regulations in this regard," said Jiang Yu, a foreign ministry official. "Hacking is a global issue and China is frequently a victim."
But network nastiness is hardly limited to China's government professionalsA report released Monday by antivirus Sophossays 44.8 percent of the world's malware-infected Web sites are hosted in China. Trailing behind are the U.S. at 20.8 percent, Russia at 11.3 percent, Ukraine with 7.7 percent, and jumping up three spots up the charts since last month, Poland with 2.4 percent of the world's infected servers. Sophos also reports that the evildoers are relying less on sneaking their poisoned packages through e-mail filters and more onsending spam that directs recipients to infection-laden Web sitesAnd that would account for the findings of a Symantec report from mid-August noting that in July, the number of spam domains under China's top-level .cn domain
