Cyber attack on USA is not a new case. But it’s biggest is in 4 Mei 2001, when White House site as a government symbol got an attack. The site began to give error message at 8 a.m. The noon, whitehouse.gov is really dead totally, because of an attack that is named distributed denial-of-service (DDoS).
From a long distance, hackers attack servers of White House by thousands demands. Finally, the site became stagnant.
From scratch, China hacker became a problem for USA. Especially when USA’s plane, EP-3 reconnaissance flew at China beach south collided with attack jet plane China F-8.
USA pilot got safe from death, but China pilot could not save his self. As the consequence, China hacker is hysterics. Although no first attack, but the attack wave is biggest one. Moreover New York Times call it as hacker world war.
Some attack really indicated is done by hacker from China. “Break up American imperialism [sic]! Attack arrogance of anti China!” by message is put up in one of USA Domestic Affairs Department site.
“CHINA HACK!” also appeared on homepage of Department of Labor. “I AM CHINESE,” written by someone on USA angkatan laut site. Hacker from Saudi Arabia, Argentina and India also did same acts.
China hacker attack is not coordinated, but the intensity can be not reputed an eye. As long as the last year, they tap important files of NASA successfully. Beside that, it also got of the best of critical computer system of Commercial Department. While what is reputed can support Tibet freedom includes CNN site also was immobilized.
Truly it is not thought that one of the biggest hacker groups at China is led by a girl who has name Xiao Tian. She is a hacker group leader of China Girl Security Team. Its members reach 2.200 persons, responsible to some homepage change actions on some sites.
For years, USA intelligent community worried, China government will attack its cyber infrastructure. Then, is the hacker coordinated by China government? James C. Mulvenon, the director of think tank defense Center for Intelligence Research and Analysis said action of China hacking is more supported by civil citizen who do patriotic hacking.
At China, becoming a hacker is an obsession of young generation (kiddy). Hacker development is more supported by situation, there are many magazines, and there are many hacker groups that compare skills one to others.
A survey of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences in 2005 toward elementary school students: Which is more interesting, a hacker or rock star? 43% said more revere China hacker. Moreover a third of them said want to be one of them.
The willingness to be a hacker is triggered by nationalism with internet development support. Post Tiananmen generation was not active in democratization, but nationalism is more pointed out by becoming opposition to western country. China internet fighter that call itself as red hacker act itself, but indirectly is like in the name of China government.
China hacker also has crazy attention by posting its success, providing email, URL, even cellular phone number. Hacker can be found at some sites, such as hackbase.com, hacker123.com or hack8.cn.
In February, President Barack Obama launched 60 days investigation program for cyber security to strengthen its internet defense. China Economic and Security Review commission in the report call, spionase cyber China can be a biggest threat to USA technology.
The commission call electricity and water center can be a target, beside it airport traffic control water, also banking. Realizing the case, in February President Obama submit fund demand as big as US$355 billions to pacify cyber infrastructure in government or private sector. Will this stop nationalist hacker from china successfully?
