Nearly 15 percent of the world's Internet traffic -- including data from the Pentagon, the office of Defense Secretary Robert Gates and other U.S. government websites -- was briefly redirected through computer networks in China last April, according to a congressional commission report obtained by FoxNews.com.
It was not immediately clear whether the incident was deliberate, but the April 18 redirection could have enabled malicious activities and potentially caused an unintended "diversion of data" from many U.S. government, military and commercial websites, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission states in a 316-page report to Congress.

Re: Internet Traffic from U.S. Government Redirected to Chin
Well there's some comforting news. The internet is just too easy to get information from. I was pretty impressed while I was reading through some posts how moderators are accurately screening posts to insure OPSEC. You don't really see a lot of dedicated moderators like that on other forums. Good job Rangers/Moderators
