(InfoWorld) - A hacking attempt against the U.S. Department of Defense unclassified e-mail system earlier in the year caused minor administrative disruptions and personal inconveniences, but no adverse impact, a military spokesman said Tuesday. The Financial Times, quoting unnamed officials on Monday, attributed the attacks to China's People's Liberation Army. Defense Department spokesman Major Patrick Ryder said he could not confirm the report. China is believed to aggressively probe U.S. networks to gain intelligence. In June, Defense Secretary Robert Gates confirmed during a briefing that 1,500 e-mail users were taken offline after the intrusion. The department said pinpointing the origin of the attacks is difficult since hackers often use other computers they've hacked to launch attacks. The department's Global Information Grid, which encompasses warfighting and civilian systems, is constantly scanned for weaknesses. Those hackers are looking for exploits in commercial software and operating systems, the department said. "We know that a number of nations and groups are actively developing these capabilities," according to a statement. "We have seen attempts by a variety of state and non-state sponsored organizations to gain unauthorized access to, or otherwise degrade, [Defense Department] information systems. Â

(InfoWorld) - Foreign Internet service and applications providers would be required to base inside the country the servers they use for U.S. customers, under a proposal from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ and its U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) division are taking that message to the U.S. Congress and asking lawmakers for a broad rewrite of U.S. wiretapping rules. However, some members of Congress have ripped into the Chinese government for a similar law requiring Internet providers to locate their servers inside its borders. U.S. lawmakers have criticized the Chinese law because it allows the government to censor and monitor Internet traffic. The DOJ proposal, which would amend a 1994 telephone wiretapping law called the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), aims to allow the U.S. government easier access to servers so it, too, can monitor communications. The proposed law, not yet introduced in Congress, would likely set off an arms race in which other countries that want to conduct online surveillance require U.S. companies such as Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. to locate servers inside their borders, said John Morris, director of the Internet Standards, Technology and Policy Project at the Center for Democracy and Technology, a civil liberties group. "There are countries around the world that would like nothing more than have the United States set the example, to say, 'you have to have a point of presence in my country,'" Morris said. The CDT included the DOJ proposal, pitched to lawmakers during the last couple of months,Â on its list of "dangerous" tech proposalsÂ in Congress. The CDT listÂ wasÂ released Thursday. The CDT is concerned that Congress could take up the proposal yet this year as lawmakers look for ways to attract voters before the November general election, CDT officials said. The DOJ press office did not return a phone call seeking comment on the proposal. In February, members of the U.S. House of Representatives International Relations Committee scolded Google, Microsoft and Yahoo Inc. officials for allegedly cooperating with the Chinese government's censorship efforts. A day after that hearing, Representative Christopher Smith, a New Jersey Republican, introduced a bill that would bar U.S. Internet companies from locating Web servers inside "Internet-restricting" countries such as China and Vietnam, with penalties of up to five years in prison and a US$2 million fine for officers of companies that willfully violate the restrictions Smith's Global Online Freedom Act is awaiting action in the committee. Morris called the DOJ proposal "embarrassing" after lawmakers objected strongly to the Chinese law earlier this year. "The proposal has some horrendous provisions," he said. "The point-of-presence proposal itself would be devastating to the American economy." The DOJ proposal would force vendors of any Internet communications applications to redesign their products to allow wiretapping, Morris said. "The harm to innovation that would follow ... is hard to underestimate," he said.
