I've had a scary day - I've discovered I'm part of a war I had never heard of, fighting what may be hundreds of thousands of members of a loose Chinese "civilian cyber militia". You're part of it, too, although you might not have known it, and none of us is totally safe because our attackers are invisible, untraceable, and growing.
And they're powerful. They've penetrated national security strongholds that you thought were invincible, including the Pentagon, Congress, NASA, and the White House, plus countless banks and foreign ministries in over 100 countries. They have unauthorized access to major news organizations and all kinds of human rights groups that shed light on abuses in China. They've been fighting us for years on home cyber-soil, they've cost us billions of U.S. dollars, and most of us have never even heard of them. But this cyber-war is raging whether we know about it or not.
