A Virginia-based cybersecurity firm Mandiant says the?Chinese military is responsible for a string of recent cyber-attacks, including several on news sites, according to CNN. The firm has studied the group of hackers, know as the "comment crew," over the past six years. Mandiant claims the activity of this group can be traced to four networks near Shanghai, with some taking place at the location of a secret branch of China's military.
