So, you may have heard of this term, or you may not.
Business executives visiting luxury hotels in Asia have been infected with malware delivered over public Wi-Fi networks, Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab has discovered. The so-called ‘Darkhotel’ hackers managed to tweak their code to ensure that only machines belonging to specific targets were infected, not all visitors’ PCs, and may have included state-sponsored hacking.

I strongly feel China has something to do with this, they are relentless when it comes to stealing other nations ideas. This is defiantly a major concern for anyone thinking of travailing to Asia.

Thanks for the share. China most definitely has something to do with it. They are constantly stealing data off of foreign businessmen and government officials so I would be surprised if they didn't have something to do with it.

In the 21st century, cyber espionage is a big business for governments around the world, it saves time,money and manpower. You don't have to invade a country to steal its secrets, just sit behind a screen and do all the magic.

Welcome to the Information Age (http://riseofnations.wikia.com/wiki/Information_Age), where 'big data' is the key to knowledge. What is it you are saying? Oh privacy and human rights... We don't really care about that in China.
