Interesting article about how intelligence agency(s) one run from former US NSA analysts allow Chinese hackers in through servers via small business's to asses what they are up to.

Back Office Chinese Hackers (NY Times)...

Interesting.
Throws up some legal/moral issues: they are knowingly allowing a compromised server to be used to hack into other companies .

and
"They do warn some victims, he said" . So they know about some attacks & do nothing ?
do they ignore some attacks from that server so that the hackers wont know they are being monitered

are they really not much better than the hackers themselves , they are both doing this for profit .
its a bit like seeing serious crime & ignoring it in the hope of seeing more crime from the same people .
