Obama Administration Warns China over Cyberattacks 
---------------------------------------------------


 
Obama's National Security Advisor Tom Donilon has called for China to
stop hacking U.S. companies. It was the first time the Obama
administration has publicly confronted China over allegations its
military is behind cyberattacks on U.S. firms and government agencies.
China has denied the claims and accused the United States of routinely
hacking its military websites. Donilon called for China to adhere to
"acceptable norms of behavior in cyberspace."

Tom Donilon: "Increasingly, U.S. businesses are speaking out about their
serious concerns about sophisticated, targeted theft of confidential
business information and proprietary technologies through cyber
intrusions emanating from China on an unprecedented scale. The
international community cannot afford to tolerate such activity from any
country."
