Is Cyber a new warfare? Debate (catch all)

China Hackers Hit U.S. Chamber
Attacks Breached Computer System of Business-Lobbying Group; Emails Stolen

A group of hackers in China breached the computer defenses of America's top business-lobbying group and gained access to everything stored on its systems, including information about its three million members, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Paranormal activity:

The Chamber continues to see suspicious activity, they say. A thermostat at a town house the Chamber owns on Capitol Hill at one point was communicating with an Internet address in China, they say, and, in March, a printer used by Chamber executives spontaneously started printing pages with Chinese characters.

Ends on a hopeful note:

"It's the new normal. I expect this to continue for the foreseeable future. I expect to be surprised again."

It's funny cos' it's Fu! (reader observation from WSJ article comment thread, p.10):

To be more succinct the Chinese are already at war with the free world and America just haven't accepted that these are really xenophobic nasty people who need to be quarantined from the civilized world.
