The LA Times gives a fascinating peek into the world of a Chinese hacker in this morning’s paper. After tracking down the email address of a 25-year-old computer whiz employed by the People’s Liberation Army hacking unit, which is considered to be the “world’s largest institutionalized hacking operation,” a dreary image appears that’s nothing like the “unkempt hackers of popular imagination.” The Times says most of the Chinese military’s hackers live in barracks, are fed primarily instant ramen and are woefully underpaid.
