Cybercrime up in China: The mainland Chinese "Ministry of Public Security" reports that computer crime has increased dramatically (over 40-fold) during the past 4 years. Of course, they include in their definition of cybercrime both conventional computer crimes (such as computer embezzlement or spreading viruses) as well as "harming national security" with a computer (for instance, by attacking Party leaders, promoting Falun Gong, or stirring up "splittist" and "separatist" sentiments). It's nice to see that classic overblown Cold War rhetoric remains alive and well in the "Chinese People's Daily"...
