This was tried before, and they ran afoul of the US hackers who
rallied to our defense. Remember the incident where the US spy plane
landed in China?  That was about the time this happened.

Famous Brazilian newspapers have been informed that a new hacking
group composed of worldwide individuals (from Brazil, China, Hong
Kong and Russia) has declared cyberwar on the United States of
America.

Its name is Hackers Against America (HAA) and their web site is
hosted on a Russian server. According to what is written on the main
page, they plan to integrate new members and launch attacks against
computers based in the US (cracking some of them but also use worms,
viruses) in order to steal private documents. Some samples of
documents and codes are available on the web site, although they
don't seem to be secret at all and possible to find by using search
engines.

Even if this threat appears to be tiny now, it is probably not a
hoax and it could grow in the future, just keep an eye on it.
