Re: A Chinese Hacker's Identity Unmasked
#4This article isn't about the individual unmasking of a hacker, but more about the humanistic element of unintentionally leaving clues about your identity while masquerading online.
I'm pointing this out because you're in for a highly anti-climactic read.

Wait, what? How is this racist? If the story said 'All Chinese are hackers', that would be racist. If the story said, which it did, 'A person who lives and works in China for the government spy academy is a hacker', that is not racist.
Edit: Trolling troll is a troll. I 'knew' it was a troll account, but looked just now to be sure... created 34 minutes ago :P.

#7The university this guy works for (The PLA Information Engineering University) has a military background. And in China this means the teachers and many of the students are literally military personnel.

If it was a US hacker he'd be in jail.

Did you read the article? The Chinese government is involved in a vast, systematic and sustained cyber attack against the United States (and many other countries).
If the NSA or CIA were doing this, people would be just as interested in reading about one of them being sloppy and getting unmasked.
