China is the world center for malicious computer use. Computer security experts have exposed China as the base of operations for 30% of the world’s malicious email, making China a haven for hackers, crackers, spy ware nuts, and general bad apples. However, within China, there is the city called the cybercrime capital of the world, Shaoxing. This eastern Chinese city is responsible for 21.3 percent of all targeted computer attacks. One city is responsible for over a fifth of all the world’s hacker email activity!
In a country where the Internet is on lock down, you have to wonder if this is some sort of plan by the Chinese government. They wield the Internet like a bo staff in the hands of a Shaolin monk; are they working on an army of cybersoldiers? Or is this just some extracurricular capitalism? That’s too much concentration in one area for this not to be some sign of a bigger force at work.
