Chinese Hackers

The firm saw at first hand how the group, dubbed the "Comment Crew", broke into the computer networks of over a hundred Western corporations and government institutions. Over the course of many years, the cyber thieves targeted nearly two dozen industries, with special attention paid to those in technology and sectors considered "strategic" by the central government. Despite the detailed evidence presented by the firm in its report, the Chinese government denies wrongdoing.

No, the internet is not a dumptruck. My boy Ted Stevens knows what he is talking about: "The Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes."

Its incredibly stupid, which is probably why they use the word cyber when briefing elected officials. Same reason most papers write at about a 9th grade level.
