China Is Hacking The US Again
Just three months after hacks by China’s People’s Liberation Army came to an abrupt halt, the country is once again attacking US targets, according to the New York Times.

Yesterday afternoon, the nation meandered to a semi-standstill as Julia Gillard called a vote to determine the leadership of the Australian Labor party. In the end, a rumoured challenge from ex-prime minister Kevin Rudd failed to materialise and Gillard was re-elected unopposed.
