Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th Dist.) apparently has had his computer hacked by suspicious Chinese IP addresses in late 2006 and early 2007. The virus which entered Congressman Smith’s and three other Republican congressman computers was meant to take over the hard drive and steal information.
Rep. Smith an outspoken critic of the Chinese Gov’t and their human rights violations said “The attackers hacked into files related to China. These contained legislative proposals…and the names of Chinese dissidents.” smith&china
Smith also added that he had no solid proof that Beijing was behind this virus attack. Hopefully Beijing had nothing to do with it and it was just a glitch in the system. Or else Americans are going to have a lot more to start worrying about. smith&china
