I think it's safe to say that the degree of hacking required to get into the Chinese military to make such "discoveries" is well outside the range of what is possible. They have a hundred people defending their networks for each person trying to attack them.
If it were the other way around, it would, of course, only take the Chinese six days.

You have no idea how they got in, what they did, what tracks they left...nothing. You're going off of how you see hacking done in Hollywood movies.

You're absolutely right. I am totally inexperienced in all things related to IT, and have most certainly never dealt with any security issues, which is why I hang out in the CP Lounge.
Here's an idea: Why don't you pop off to stack overflow? It's all like the CP soapbox, there, so you can carry on with your absurd worship of all things related to your favourite flavour of politics to your heart's content.

It's not your experience of security issues that I am questioning; it is the fact you don't seem to grasp that there may be something going on that you're simply not privy to.

They did not hack so deep into the Chinese military machine that they were able to pinpoint individuals who they claim implemented an attack.
Believing that they have such capabilities is utterly ludicrous. It is a political, false declaration from a body which should be above politics, and above reproach.
Take your mindless worship elsewhere; politics is not welcome here.

Maybe the hackers left some trace of something? Who knows....not me, and not you. I bet people using TOR were pretty shocked when they found out the FBI could still trace them. I bet people using HTTPS were pretty shocked when they found out the CIA could decrypt their comms. I bet people with iPhones were shocked to find out the FBI paid for a tool that could unlock it. When it comes to governments none of us know what they are really capable of as they don't advertise it. And when it comes to this hack no-one knows if the hackers left any evidence as they won't advertise that either. I'm amazed you are so naive that you don't appreciate that sometimes law enforcement doesn't make everything public.

At no point have I said anything about politics. You should know by now that throwing around false accusations to try and shut me up is going to get you nowhere. Stick to the arguments at hand, and if you can't counter them then contemplate the possibility that you are wrong.

You also refuse to admit a book doesn't say what you claim it does even when it is quoted directly to you.
You: *argument*
Me: *argument proving you wrong*
You: "stop talking politics*
Me: *I'm not...more non-political arguments proving you wrong*
You: *stop talking politics, they're not welcome here*
Me: *I'm not....more non-political arguments*
You: *that's it, I refuse to talk politics with Nazis!!!1"

Indeed, and it's pretty clear that Chinese tech is overtaking US tech, as is their tech education, and as are the sheer numbers of incredibly highly qualified and experienced tech people working for their security services.
So whatever tech the US has got, there's a bloody good chance that the Chinese have got better. Only hubris would say otherwise, and we all know what hubris comes before (it depends on the dictionary, but my favourite is "huckabuck").
And, as has been shown over and over again, the security forces in the US have a ridiculously hard time finding hackers on US soil, where there is no-one making herculean efforts to defend them.
Believe what the Ministry of Truth tells you if you like, Winston, but it's bloody obvious they're lying through their teeth.

Sorry. I thought you were like the other guy, who is obviously caught up in worshipping some evil deity or other, and believes anything its demons tell him. I hate trying to talk sense to "believers".
I can't open that page, anyway. Security protocols, and all that.

From the article: America’s main adversaries, including the Soviet Union and China, were never Crypto customers.
And the article is relevant to this discussion because...?
How many times do I have to repeat that there is no f***ing way they could have extracted the information that they are publicising?
It's a scum-level political lie, of the type that is becoming the norm, in Western politics.
I don't know about you, but I don't like being lied to, and I lose more and more trust in people who lie to me, every time they do so.
An office called "The Department of Justice" should be so far above this kind of lying that they can't even see it, down below.
They really should rename themselves "The Ministry of Truth" -- if they were honest, they would.

The article: Russia and China never trusted the machines, and did not use them.
You: arguments that prove you wrong right
How many times do people have to lie to you, before you stop trusting their word?
Do you have an "I WANT TO BELIEVE!" poster on your wall?
Believing something just because a proven liar says so is more related to religious fervour than anything else, and you have shown nothing but such religious fervour. You are allowing liars to treat you as an idiot, and they will continue to do so, for as long as you allow it.
And -- here's a great tip for life -- as long as you let bad people treat you like an idiot, the good people will think you're an idiot, too.

Hard drive manufacturer Seagate promises that HAMR—Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording—hard drives in 18TB and 20TB models will be available in retail channels in 2020. Time for hard drives with frickin' lasers?

Dunno. Getting an HDD that adds a level of mechanical complexity to the read heads, intentionally adds heat to the system, and can have ultra-slow read/write times doesn't strike me as being the most profitable of acquirements.
So, for me, 'snot hamr time!

Wouldn't that make this a Laser Disc?
Interesting enough, Sony's MiniDisc recorded using this, and the process itself goes back to the 1950's when RCA patented this for magnetic tape usage
