It maybe true or not. Half-truths and out and out lies are often the basis
of propaganda.  A smart hacker might just direct blame to a particular
group to take the interest off his trail.  Or, it might be an act of
supreme stupidity to have supplies the details of viruses, etc., to the
Chinese.  

In any regard, internet insecurity is again demonstrated.  It does not
have to be that way.  It must change by basic design, not by mallet waving
madmen who tout themselves as experts ready to stamp their feet and charge
exorbitant fees.
