Imperato Calls It Again: Chinese Military Infiltrate Pentagon Network
[author:Dan Mangru Public time:Sep 6, 2007]

The United States and its telecommunications infrastructure has long been thought of as secure and protected from outside invaders.  However, with the global growth of IT sophistication along with US purchasing of foreign made equipment, the United States information network may be under siege.

The Pentagon released to the media that a computer system serving Defense Secretary Robert Gates was shut down in June.   The Pentagon did not release other information regarding the security attack.

The Chinese PLA regularly monitors US military and Department of Defense (DoD) networks â€“ and the Pentagon has been assumed to scan Chinese Networks on an ongoing basis â€“ but US officials said the infiltration in June of Pentagon systems brought to light new threats because China had proven that it could disturb and access US systems at crucial times.

Prior to that, 2008 Presidential Candidate Daniel Imperato brought up the issue of American security and foreign intrusion into our telecommunications and computer systems.
Back in September of 2006 Imperato called out for the United States to evaluate the Alcatel - Lucent Technologies merger in light of potential security breeches.
"Did you ever think that there are third parties behind this deal? We have complained about Russia, blocked China from the UNOCAL acquisition, and the Arabs from the Dubai Ports deal. But did the administration ever think that the French are in the front of third parties that are attacking our telecommunications manufacturing capabilities enabling foreign parties to siphon the patents and patent applications? Did anyone look to see if foreign entities are trying to reproduce products, based upon the ownership of a US company overseas, allowing them to include bugging, tracking, and listening devices causing breeches of security, risking national interest, and the violation of privacy for the citizens of the USA?

When asked to comment specifically on the threat of foreign intruders, Daniel Imperato stated the following regarding the security breech, "Our telecommunications and network infrastructure is no longer safe and secure.   All of our technology has been leaked and distributed all over the world and the foreign made equipment that we use to access our data and information is being hacked by the very same foreign countries that made them."

Imperato went on to state that, "It's a shame.  While the administration was so intent on spying on people's homes, they forgot that other governments were spying on them.   I hope that George W. Bush and Secretary Condoleezza Rice can finally address the issue after I have been calling out for over one year." Imperato said that the problem was not only the problem of the United States but of the world at large.
