China hacker spills the beans on online break-ins

Chinese hackers targeted the Indian embassy computers in Beijing on Thursday.

Official sources confirmed these attempts but say classified information has not been compromised.

They say computers storing sensitive data are standalone systems not linked to the Internet. CERT-IN, the official watchdog that tracks hacking of government networks, has refused to comment on the matter.

Yet, one man wasn't so coy.

“No website is 100 per cent safe. There are websites with high level of security but there is always some weakness,” China’s cyber hacker Xiao Chen.

Chen and his friends run a hacking website from China. It claims 10,000 registered users and 50,000 hits a day, thanks to the useful advice and free software it offers for breaking into computer systems.

Chen boasts two of his colleagues have hacked into the Pentagon. CNN has no way of verifying that.

“They wouldn't publicise it they wouldn't make it public. It's very sensitive,” says Chen.
