Recently The State Department issued a warning to all American officials, athletes, trainers and tourists traveling to China for The Summer Olympics. Be careful what computer and tech equipment you take to the games.
They are concerned the Chines Govt. will hack into your laptops planting both bugs and viruses. Enabling the Chines Govt to wreak havoc on American computer networks as well as steal information from trade secrets to indentity theft.
What our govt, suggests for those traveling to the games. Buy second hand computers and digital cameras. Products you will use one time only and keep them clean of all personal and business related data. They also suggest to buy these products that are not made in China. Seems they issued an earlier warning that chips, and computers made in China were being exported with viruses and bugs already installed.
Word to the wise, heed our Govt.'s advice. Even better would be to contact the United States State Department directly and get their most current suggestions on how to protect yourself from the Chinese Government when visiting Beijing for this years Olympics.
