British hacker Gary McKinnon has been accused of performing “the biggest military hack of all time”. Gary McKinnon hacked US military and Nasa computers in 2001 and 2002.
McKinnon admitted to hacking. He accessed 97 government computers belonging to organizations including the US Navy and Nasa.
China has rejected accusations that government-backed hackers broke into U.S. lawmakers’ computers.
Two U.S. Representatives this week revealed sources apparently inside China accessed their computers and copied sensitive information about Chinese dissidents and human rights.
Two U.S. Congressmen accused China of hacking their office computers. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) has accused China of hacking into computers in his office and elsewhere in Congress, including the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
