Spy stuff is everywhere because of the report that says US intelligence has become an unwieldy, politicized mass of cost ineffective chaos... but look, it caught some spies... so ti must be working. (that is probably the next step in the coming PR spin)

wtf. Why are Russian spies suddenly popping out EVERYWHERE?!

[citation][nom]reddragon72[/nom]I do agree that it is the second oldest profession and never stopped. My point was very clear as to why this is becoming and issue in the lime light now? Why all of a sudden are we reading news all over the place about spies??? Tell me if you go back for the last 15-20 years of news how many spy reports have been made by the news? Not many, but all of a sudden it is making headline news.... why?[/citation]
There have been plenty. Just 3 or 4 years ago I remember the Chinese Nationals working at US Nuclear sites that were arrested for illegally removing top secret information and giving it to the Chinese.

It is not really a good idea on accusing people but the CIA is has lots of good minds - it is better to prevent the situation to explode.

[citation][nom]sandmanwn[/nom]Our government is doing a bang up job deporting these people and getting little in return. Makes one wonder why they are so proficient at deporting Russians and not other unmentionables? Why aren't organizations voting on condemning the racist government in these cases?What a messed up place we live in. Get back to reversing this crap in Nov.[/citation]

We did get something back. We got something like 4-6 of our own spies back from the Russians. Presumably, we got a few bug reports out of it too.

as a tester, you don't have access to actually 'change' anything... but you do have access to the inner workings of a system... you would be testing for bugs and exploits and you would walk away with quite a bit of knowledge about the broken pieces of windows 7... it wouldn't take much to go through and print off a list of every reported w7 bug, and email it to someone else... an exploit 'could' be created from this knowledge...

I think the USA really underestimates the number of foreign nationals that are spying for their countries in our military, government, top corporations, and colleges. There are spies from every country for sure but China has by far the largest campaign of espionage against the US and we wonder why they "progressed" so quickly in terms of technology. We need to do like Germany and really tighten the number of visa's and green cards issued from these countries until we reach a manageable level to keep an eye on them.

All Western nations should be looking out for Chinese spies first and foremost. They are an emerging threat - just ask Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea and Japan about their recent provocations in international or their respective territorial waters. Wouldn't surprise me if Chinese spies have infiltrated many Western governments.
