The people running this network weren't in the business of humint from China, but they were in the business of protecting their network.

About the 80s, proves my point that I'm glad the government is finally taking this seriously.

However, hacking is still pretty much the same as it was back then, probe for systems with a known vulnerability and exploit that.

Univision is just reporting on what the students led by Juan Carlos found. joshcryer Jan 2012 #25
You're writing fiction: Cisneros is NOT on the board of directors of Univision* ChangoLoa Jan 2012 #30
Didn't say Univision is broadcast in Venezuela. Never discussed that, never considered it. Judi Lynn Jan 2012 #32
No, you said Cisneros is still on the board of directors, which is wrong. ChangoLoa Jan 2012 #34
Univision is not Venezuelan nor transmitted in Venezuela outside the satellite or the cable network. ChangoLoa Jan 2012 #29
Clearly I didn't write Univision is broadcast in Venezuela. People are well aware it's domestic. n/t Judi Lynn Jan 2012 #33
