articles indicating that cyber attacks targeting Google and several other U.S. companies were from China.
Such accusations are biased (有偏见的).
These anicles take as evidence that hackers' IP addresses could be traced back to two schools in China.
However, it is common sense that hackers can attack by contmlling computers from anywhere in the world.
This fact also explains why hackers are hard to be tracked down.
Computers in China are easy to be controlled by hackers as the majority of Chinese Internet users lack
security awareness and adequate protection measures.
The hackers' IP addresses could by no means vindicate (证明正确) the newspapers' accusations that the
attacks were carried out by Chinese citizens or from within China.
The New York Times says one of the schools from which the cyber attacks were said to originate has
military support. Another school "has received financing from a high-level government science and technology
project."
The New York Times went to great lengths to mention that "graduates of one of the school's computcr
science department are employed by the local military each year." The paper, howevcr, did not care to tell its
readers that a school in China does not need to have any special relationship with the military to have its
graduates in uniform. It is also true in the United States, where the New York Times is based.
China's attitude toward cyber attacks has been unequivocal and has adopted laws against such crimes, as
China is one of the countries that suffer from cyber attacks.
The U.S. government, on the other hand, takes an uncertain attitude toward cyber attacks. According to
media reports, the U.S. Homeland Security and Defense departments have both openly employed hackers.
People with a "blackhat perspective" and knowing how to "do threat modeling" are the best choices, said
Philip Reitinger, Department of Homeland Security deputy undcrsecretary, at an information security
conference last October.
Cyber crimes could cause immense losses to individuals, companies and nations. Effective supervision (监
督) and closer international cooperation are ways to improve cyber security. Finger pointing is not.

Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
