Computerworld – China today denied allegations that its military hacked a Pentagon network in June — the second time in as many weeks that the country has responded to charges of sponsoring computer attacks.
“Some people are making wild accusations against China and wantonly saying the Chinese military attacked the Pentagon’s computer network,” Jiang Yu, a foreign ministry spokeswoman said in Beijing, according to the state-controlled Xinhua news service. “These are totally groundless and also reflect a Cold War mentality,” she added.

Pentagon Source Says China Hacked Defense Department Computers
WASHINGTON — The Chinese government hacked a noncritical Defense Department computer system in June, a Pentagon source told FOX News on Tuesday.

The source’s information directly contradicts Chinese claims earlier Tuesday, in which officials called the allegations “groundless.” The Chinese government, officials said, opposes cyber crime.
