Good article. I get about 15 attempted hacker attacks per hour on my PC that are stopped by the McAfee Personal Firewall. When I trace these attacks back to their source, approximately 35% of the attacks originate in China. I think China is probing our internet infrastructure and looking for weak points, including servers and PC's that don't have proper security.

During the situation where China allowed our crippled surveillance plane to land and took the crew hostage my Zone Alarm pings went way up. This was back when you could trace pings to their source with the free version of ZA. I was posting some rather harsh rhetoric about China FWIW.

Normally I got infrequent pings from internet research companies and universities and other rather benign stateside sources. But during this hostage episode I was getting a ping every few minutes and they all traced back to Taiwan, China or other SE Asian sites. Interesting.
