Five favorite targets of Chinese hackers

One thing that has always interested me is the types of targets Chinese hackers seek out for attack. Since it is impossible for us to protect everything, or be everywhere, understanding the most likely targets should be a high priority. Of course this is only part of a comprehensive cyber security program but knowing how your adversary thinks is one area we need to explore.

An article in pchome.net gave the five most desired websites Chinese hackers sought out in order to hang trojans. Trojans have been the tool of choice for Chinese hackers since their first indigenously produced program Glacier was introduced into the cyber conflict with Taiwan in 1999.
