Hacking Inquiry Puts China’s Elite in New Light

SHANGHAI — With its sterling reputation and its scientific bent, Shanghai Jiaotong University has the feel of an Ivy League institution.

The university has alliances with elite American ones like Duke and the University of Michigan. And it is so rich in science and engineering talent that Microsoft and Intel have moved into a research park directly adjacent to the school.

But Jiaotong, whose sprawling campus here has more than 33,000 students, is facing an unpleasant question: is it a base for sophisticated computer hackers?

Investigators looking into Web attacks on Google and dozens of other American companies last year have traced the intrusions to computers at Jiaotong as well as an obscure vocational school in eastern China, according to people briefed on the case.

Security experts caution that it is hard to trace online attacks and that the digital footprints may be a “false flag,” a kind of decoy intended to throw investigators off track.

But those with knowledge of the investigation say there are reliable clues that suggest the highly sophisticated attacks may have originated at Jiaotong and the more obscure campus, Lanxiang Vocational School in Shandong Province, an institution with ties to the Chinese military.

Last weekend, the two schools strongly denied any knowledge of the attacks, which singled out corporate files and the e-mail accounts of human rights activists.

A spokesman for Jiaotong told local news outlets that school officials were “shocked and indignant” to learn of the allegations. And a Lanxiang spokesman called the reports preposterous.

But analysts say Jiaotong and Lanxiang are certain to come under close scrutiny.

Jiaotong is one of China’s top universities, and one charged with helping transform this country into a science and technology powerhouse.

The school has exchange programs with some of the world’s leading universities. Early this year, Duke said that with the help of Jiaotong, it would build its own campus near Shanghai.

Michael J. Schoenfeld, a spokesman for Duke, said on Friday that the university was troubled by the allegations.

“We’re going to have to explore that with Shanghai Jiaotong and understand the situation,” he said. “It’s a very complex situation.”

One of Jiaotong’s strongest departments is computer science, which has garnered support from some of America’s biggest technology companies, including Cisco Systems. Microsoft has collaborated with Jiaotong on a laboratory for intelligent computing and intelligent systems at the university.

Two weeks ago, Jiaotong students won an international computer programming competition sponsored by I.B.M., known as the Battle of the Brains, beating out Stanford and other elite institutions. It was the third time in the last decade that Jiaotong students had taken the top prize.

Jiaotong is also home to the School of Information Security Engineering, which specializes in Internet security. The school’s dean and chief professor have both worked on technology matters for the People’s Liberation Army, according to the school’s Web site.

The school, which has received financing from a high-level government science and technology project, code-named 863, has also regularly invited world-famous hackers and Web security experts to lecture there.

The latest clues do not answer the question of who was behind the attacks. But it is likely to put added pressure on Beijing to investigate a case that has prompted Google to threaten to pull out of China.

Beijing has not announced an investigation, but Web security experts emphasize that the Chinese government would need to be involved to find the ultimate perpetrators of the attacks.

“The U.S. would not be able to trace this” back to the source, said O. Sami Saydjari, the founder of the Cyber Defense Agency, a private Web security firm based in Wisconsin. “We cannot trace it beyond borders. We’d need the cooperation of the Chinese.”

Xiao Qiang, an expert on Chinese Internet censorship and control, says Jiaotong is studying not just Web security but also how to filter content that the government may deem unhealthy.

“Computer security may sound neutral, but in China, it also includes content, including content the government doesn’t like and wants to get rid of,” he says.

Scott J. Henderson, the author of “The Dark Visitor: Inside the World of Chinese Hackers,” said that in 2007, a prominent Chinese hacker with ties to China’s Ministry of Security also lectured at Jiaotong.

“He gave a lecture called ‘Hacking in a Nutshell,’ ” said Mr. Henderson, whose research was partly financed by the American military.

In a statement on Sunday, Microsoft said it could not comment on reports that some hacking had been traced to Jiaotong.

But the statement also said: “We condemn cyberattacks and industrial espionage no matter who is ultimately responsible. We hope officials will conduct a full investigation and cooperate fully with international authorities to get to the bottom of this situation.”

Google and other companies that were victims of the attacks have declined to comment.

Investigators are also looking into whether some of the intrusions originated at Lanxiang Vocational School, in the city of Jinan.

Lanxiang, which has 30,000 students studying trades like cosmetology and welding, was founded in 1984 by a former military officer on land donated by the military, according to Jinan’s propaganda department.

On its Web site, the school records visits to the campus by military officers and boasts of sending “a large batch of graduates to the army” and says “those graduates become the backbone of the army.”

Graduates of the school’s computer science department are recruited by the local military garrison each year, according to the school’s dean, Mr. Shao, who would give only his last name.

School officials also insist that Lanxiang students are not capable of sophisticated hacking.

“It’s impossible for our students to hack Google and other U.S. companies,” Mr. Shao said in a telephone interview. “They are just high school graduates and not at an advanced level.”

Little information is publicly available about the school’s computer science department. But the school says its computer laboratory is so enormous that it was once listed in the Guinness World Records book.

黑客在调查提出新轻中国的精英

上海凭借其出色的声誉,其科学弯曲 - 上海交通大学有一个常春藤盟校的感觉。

该大学已与像公爵和密歇根大学的精英,美国的联盟。它是如此丰富的科学和工程人才,微软公司和英特尔公司进入了一个研究园区直接相邻的学校感动。

但交通,其已超这里有超过33,000的学生,正面临着一个令人不安的问题:这是一个复杂的电脑黑客基地?

调查人员将在谷歌和其他美国数十家公司的网络攻击的期待,去年有追踪入侵的计算机在交通,也是一个模糊的中国东部地区职业学校,根据有关知情人士的案件。

安全专家警告,很难追踪网络攻击,而数字足迹,可能是“虚假的旗帜”,这是一种诱饵旨在摆脱跟踪调查。

但随着调查经验的人士说,该建议有高度复杂的攻击可靠的线索可能起源于交通和较模糊的校园,蓝翔职业学校在山东省,一个以中两军关系的机构。

上周末,两所学校坚决否认任何袭击,特别指出,企业档案知识的电子人权活动电子邮件帐户。

一种交通发言人告诉当地新闻媒体,学校官员“震惊和愤慨”,以了解有关指控。和蓝翔发言人称荒谬的报告。

但分析家说,交通和蓝翔一定会受到密切监视。

交通是中国最大的大学之一,并帮助转化为科学和技术强国这个国家的费用之一。

学校已与世界顶尖大学有交流项目。今年年初,杜克说,随着交通的帮助下,将在上海附近建立了自己的校园。

迈克尔舍恩菲尔德,是杜克大学的发言人周五表示,该大学是由指控困扰。

“我们将不得不寻求与上海交大,了解情况,”他说。 “这是一个非常复杂的局面。”

在交通最强大的部门之一,是计算机科学,它已得到了美国最大的科技公司,包括思科系统一些支持。曾与微软就智能计算和智能交通系统实验室在大学。

两个星期前,交大的学生赢得了国际计算机编程竞赛由作为脑战役称为IBM公司,赞助,击败了斯坦福大学和其他精英机构。这是在过去十年中第三次交大的学生采取了最高奖项。

交通也是在家的信息安全工程,在互联网安全的专门学校。学校的教务长和首席教授都设法关于解放军的技术问题,根据学校的网站。

学校,已经得到了一个高级别政府科学和技术项目,代号为863的融资,还定期邀请世界著名的黑客和网络安全专家到该校发表演讲。

最新的线索不回答是谁在背后搞鬼的问题。但有可能是把影像于北京的压力,调查这促使谷歌威胁要退出中国进行的情况。

北京还没有公布调查,但网络安全专家强调,我国政府将需要参与寻找攻击的最终实施者。

“美国将无法追查这个”回源表示,澳萨米Saydjari,该网络防卫厅私人网络安全公司在威斯康星州的创始人。 “我们不能追踪它超越国界。我们就需要得到中国的合作。“

小强,对中国互联网的审查和控制专家说,交通正在研究不只是网络安全,而且如何筛选内容,政府可能认为不健康的。

“计算机安全听起来中立,但在中国,还包括内容,包括内容,政府不喜欢,想摆脱,”他说。

斯科特J.,书的作者“黑暗访问者亨德森:里面的中国黑客世界”说,在2007年,一位知名的中国的关系,中国公安部在交通黑客还演讲。

“他发表了演讲所谓'果壳中的黑客,'”亨德森先生说,他们的研究部分由美国军方资助。

在1日发表声明,微软表示,它不能评论,一些黑客已经追查到交通的报告。

但声明同时说:“我们谴责黑客攻击及工业间谍活动,不管是谁的责任。我们希望政府官员进行全面调查,并与国际机构合作,充分到达这种情况下。“

谷歌和那些攻击的受害者的其他公司都拒绝发表评论。

调查人员也正在研究是否在蓝翔的一些职业学校起源的入侵,在济南市。

蓝翔,这3万名学生学习美容,焊接等行业,成立于1984年由一名前军官在军方捐赠的土地,按照济南市的宣传部门。

在其网站上,学校的纪录访问的军官校园派“的毕业生大批军队拥有”,并说:“这些毕业生成为军队的骨干。”

学校的计算机科学系的毕业生招聘当地军营,每年根据学校的教务长,邵先生,谁只能给予他的名字。

学校官员还坚持认为,蓝翔的学生不属于复杂黑客的能力。

“这是不可能的学生破解谷歌和其他美国公司,”邵先生说,在接受电话采访。 “他们只是高中毕业的先进水平没有。”

信息很少公开有关学校的计算机科学系。但学校说,它的计算机实验室是如此巨大,这是曾经在吉尼斯世界纪录的书上市。

多虑了,中国黑客水平在国际上很低
诶,您怎么能说纽约时报多虑呢,这可是世界一流的传媒机构呀
纽约时报也收了XX技校的钱了, 哈哈
