Operation Shady Rat - 4th August 2011.

U.S. government agencies, the United Nations, defense contractors and Olympic bodies have all been targeted by a single intruder in an "unprecedented" campaign of cyberspying, says a new report by a computer-security firm.
The operation, which targeted agencies and groups in 14 countries, bears the hallmarks of state-sponsored espionage, according to the report by security company McAfee. Other cybersecurity experts downplayed the report's findings, however.
McAfee said the attacks, which it calls Operation Shady RAT, have allowed hackers potentially to gain access to military and industrial secrets from 72 targets, most of them in the United States, over a five-year period.
McAfee did not name all the targets but said the sheer scope of victims, including 14 U.S. government bodies; the governments of Canada, India, South Korea and Taiwan; defense contractors; the International Olympic Committee; and even a cybersecurity company, indicates no one is safe.
Dmitri Alperovitch, McAfee's vice president of threat research, said attacks on political nonprofit groups indicated a "state actor" could be behind the operation. He declined to name a specific country, but media reports have pointed a finger at China.
When contacted by CNN, an official at the Chinese embassy said that the allegations were unwarranted, irresponsible and an attempt to vilify China. The official added that China, too, has been a victim of hacking and that the country wants to work with other countries to end the problem.

The hackers used sophisticated "spear phishing" techniques, targeting individuals within organizations with high-security clearance and harvesting their details and passwords to gain a foothold inside computer networks.
Once inside, they installed so-called remote access tools -- the RATs that give Shady RAT its name -- to infiltrate more computers and steal data.
McAfee said it discovered the breaches in March after gaining access to a "command and control" computer server that contained hacking records.

Of course it's China. They're just itching for America to have a massive enough economic and government collapse. For what reasons I do not know, but China and Russia have both publicly stated that America's further economic success would be detrimental to their future plans. Keep in mind these governments see such things as freedom of speech, press and others as dangerous to their control over the populace.

The VAWA Immigration Loop-hole:

If you are a woman, pretend to be in love with a US citizen or a Legal Resident, get him to marry you. As soon as you got the marriage certificate dial 211 and falsely accuse him of Domestic Violence and Rape and move to a VAWA shelter.

You will be on a fast-track for a Green-Card and US citizenship - all expenses paid for by the US tax payer and as a bonus you will be getting full social benefits.
