Don't get on the wrong side of China
By stiennon on Fri, 03/21/08 - 5:55pm.Or, if you do, make sure your Internet security is up to date. According to the Washington Post the FBI has begun an investigation into attacks on the email and web server of the save Darfur organization . If you visit their site you will see that they are not exactly friendly towards China, blaming that country for much of the inaction regarding the genocide in Darfur.
I see that China has also blocked access to YouTube because of the airing of deplorable actions on the part of the Chinese in Tibet in putting down protests of Tibeten monks. You might want to take a moment to view this image before commiting your organization to sponsoring or in any way supporting the 2008 Olympics.
Consider the security of your own mail in the light of potential attacks from a hostile nation state. Are you ready?
