China's NSA Breach: High Risk Analysis Of RSA Hacking Attack

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.
