France v China
In United Kingdom v China I asked who would be the next country to announce it's been 0wned by China. Thanks to Benny Ketelslegers I hear it's France. He cites Maarten Van Horenbeeck who read the original French to say the following:Agence France Presse has reported that France is the most recent nation to be targeted by what are probably cyber attacks of Chinese origin. The news came from Mr Francis Delon, secretary general of the Secrétariat général de la défense nationale (SGDN). He notes: Chinese origin, not necessarily indicating involvement of the Chinese military.
It's a veritable "who's who" of the industrialized world -- US, Germany, UK, Japan, and now France. When will we hear from Canada, Italy... anyone else?

There are a least 8 China Hacker Groups. we call them as HuBei Jun(Jun for military troop)

What they want is to collect the contact list files (outlook, MSN ...) to build a huge database about relationships for future use,
from the contact list, hackers can send a 'well-make' trojaned mail to the others in the contact list, then victims
will trust the e-mail's subject and fake e-mail source, open it and been compromised. And, periodically jump back to collect the lastest
documents in all file types. Even steal your mail account to have a copy of your mail boxes.
