At the Naval Network Warfare Command here, U.S. cyber defenders track and

threat comes from Chinese hackers, who are constantly waging all-out
warfare against Defense Department networks, Netwarcom officials said.

Attacks coming from China, probably with government support, far outstrip

conflict has reached the level of a campaign-style, force-on-force
engagement, he said.
