Credit: Reuters/Tobias Schwarz SHANGHAI | Fri Aug 16, 2013 12:46am EDT SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's Ministry of Public Security and a cabinet-level research center are preparing to probe IBM Corp, Oracle Corp and EMC Corp over security issues, the official Shanghai Securities News said on Friday. The report follows revelations by former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden of widespread surveillance by the National Security Agency and his assertion that the agency hacked into critical network infrastructure at universities in China and in Hong Kong. Documents leaked by Snowden revealed that the NSA has had access to vast amounts of Internet data such as emails, chat rooms and video from large companies, including Facebook and Google, under a government program known as Prism. "At present, thanks to their technological superiority, many of our core information technology systems are basically dominated by foreign hardware and software firms, but the Prism scandal implies security problems," the newspaper quoted an anonymous source as saying. IBM, Oracle and EMC were not immediately available for comment. China, repeatedly accused by the United States of hacking, was given considerable ammunition by Snowden's allegations, which Beijing has used to point the finger at Washington for hypocrisy. Chinese regulators and the police have begun a series of investigations in recent weeks into how foreign and domestic companies do business in the world's second-biggest economy.

Still remember "IBM PC" sold to Chinese Lenovo? Greed is shortsighted by definition… Aug 15, 2013 11:10pm EDT  --  Report as abuse Chinese hacking is much worse than what America is doing and it's not the same. America is simply gathering information while China is gathering information and committing mass espionage and theft of everything from management plans, blueprints, bidding strategies to flat out core theft of intellectual property that is costing billions a year in damages and bankrupting our companies. That is just from the hacking but they also have thousands of moles in our best companies, universities, and government contractors and more every year because of our insane immigration policies. All you have to do is go to the Justice.gov website and type Chinese in the search and you will find page after page after page of Chinese nationals who have been convicted of trade theft against our country. And to think, our Senate and OWEbama want to allow tens of millions of illegal criminal foreigners and 20 million through increased legal immigration to come here to invaded and pillage our jobs our land and our resources! It's time to make your voice heard, band together in your community and tell them to shut the doors, stop pandering to foreign interests and focus on the American people so we can heal our country and take it back!
