China's Payback for US Hacker Indictments Begins

The Department of Justice last week unsealed indictments against five members of the Chinese military who were accused of hacking into the computer systems of U.S. companies to steal everything from trade secrets to confidential corporate correspondence. China's initial response was to deny any wrongdoing and charge that the U.S. had hacked into the systems of Chinese companies for purposes of espionage -- but Beijing wasn't finished there. Shortly thereafter, China announced that its government agencies would not be upgrading their Windows OS.
