China was responsible for the attack on the servers of IT Security company RSA, according to the testimony of the US National Security Agency director, General Keith Alexander, at a Senate Hearing yesterday. Information Week reports that he also accused China of stealing large amounts of military-related intellectual property.
According to Alexander's estimates, the risk of hacking other companies is high, reasoning that if China has the ability to do it against a company like RSA, then that is such a high order capability that it makes other companies vulnerable. The NSA director believes the US Government needs more real-time capabilities to work with the private sector to stop attacks.
