Was the Chinese army responsible for the 2003 New York blackout?

National Journal has an eye-opening cover story this week on the extent of China’s e-espionage. The piece reveals that US intelligence officials believe that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army was probably responsible for the 2003 power cut that blacked out much of the east coast of the US.

The whole piece is well worth reading to get an idea of the scale of the problem. Apparently, President Bush has spent more time on this cyber threat in the last year than he did in the first six years of his presidency combined.
