Rep. Joe Pitts expounds on the importance of protecting ourselves in cyber space in the following article in the Pottstown Mercury Online... Go Joe!
Here's an excerpt.
"If I told you that Chinese hackers gained access to the computers in the offices of U.S. Representatives and stole personal information about Chinese dissidents and human rights violations, you may think I have been watching too much Hollywood.
But this is all too real, and it represents a growing national security problem.
In fact, two of my colleagues and friends, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) and Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), just revealed this week that computers in their offices were compromised by cyber attacks, and the
