Ethics Current Events EssayThe issue between the United States accusing mainland china of hacking the Pentagons computer network is in a way a invasion of the Data Protection Law and worldwide law. For many years the Pentagon has been the government issue of cyber intrusion and attempts to come home its most kept defense data which if this system will be intruded there would be a possible attempt for an internationalist terrorism. Although the intrusion was only discovered recently according to the US Defense Department it was possible that China has been trying many ways and means to chatter Pentagons database system. The problem here lies not only to the Peoples Liberation Army which Pentagon was pointing but Chinas Foreign Minister, Jiang Yu is denying the accusations saying his agricultural has no part in the intrusion attempt to the Defense Departments systems. Fortunately, the US defense system is equipped with the most raise host engineering that could detect an d tract much(prenominal) intrusion. The Pentagon greatly considers the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army in staging such hacking although it did not set off that Beijing which is Chinas seat of Socialism is involved here.Although the US Department of Defense confirmed that the existence of such group could be a small group formed out of the PLA, its intention is anticipated in trying to get information using technological advances (Starr, Todd and Payne). But it is just unadorned that even the most highly advanced technology could not stop an ever changing development of computer viruses, spywares and worms to mutate into a more advance and destructive programs.All of these are man-made and unfortunately those people on the other parts of the world are trying to take advantage and could substantial these into more powerful and persistent programs so they can merge themselves to the existing programs for destructive purposes. Not only the US is grieving about such violation of inte rnational law but even London as well who holds the same position as a powerful country is confirming such an intrusion.Although at this time China is showing its meekness with the present issues, no one can really tell if this is the result of a shadowing some other Cold War between the two large countries.

But what causes other personalities or even countries to have an interest to gather information from the US is still unfathomable to the ordinary people. China with its olden years of co-habiting principles with the old Russia has not totally erased its personality as a communist country.Indeed it has grown in terms of its economy because of the deliver trade but many believe that this was just superficial because China was trying secretly to be another growing superpower in the making. In terms of manpower and number of armies indeed China has not los t its capability to be an independent country. President Bush still wanted to wreak it safe and could not directly convict China of such intrusion. After all he is trying to build rapport to avoid another international issue that could destroy relationships between nations.On the contrary, the people in the White House are all aware of this issue and are not sleeping with two eyes closed. Fortunately, the incident only happened on the surface attacking the unclassified e-mail in the Defense department before it can penetrate the militarys database. The Pentagon had to shut down its unclassified e-mail for a few weeks although it is not networked to military network that contain confidentialities. No harm through with(p) so far and Pentagon officials said none of their operations were disrupted.Not only has Washington is confirming such an assault from the group but even the Britains Parliament and the Foreign Office has been hacked according to the Associated Press and Guardian n ewspaper of London. AP who is keen on making research involving China and international espionage has made a report that the day before the German Chancellor Angela Merkels visit to Beijing, the local newspaper Der Spiegel said they found Trojans (spy programs) at the Chancellery computer system.Everybody is not safe even to the extent of breaking laws and bypassing international boundaries. There are only countries that are only moving for their advantage notwithstanding privacy and securities. Indeed, the technology has made a great advancement with great leaps and development. It is only unfortunate that sometimes leaps and bounds are crossing the borders and surmounting other peoples station of confidentiality.
