Found on The Register on Thursday, 16 June 2011
The US Department of Homeland Security is warning of holes in Chinese infrastructure software which could leave factories and power stations vulnerable to hack attacks.
The software is mainly used in China but claims some customers in Europe, the Americas and Asia and Africa. There have been no known exploits of the vulnerability and attackers would need an intermediate level of skill to use it.
After watching China expanding it's market influence by questionable methods and hack attacks against dissidents, human rights activists and Fortune 100 companies, the DHS is actually surprised to find "bugs" in chinese software? Well hello Sherlock.
