China & Hackers -&- Sites Worth Checking

China and Hackers Which May Be the Same Thing . . . Or Not

There are several articles on this website and on others concerning China, hackers, spies, and attempts with some successes to steal what North Americans own (copyright, technology, nuclear reactor design [See Oct. 24, 04 on News Junkie Canada], among other things).

My experience online includes learning about these blocks of IP numbers . . . and I have chosen to block them because I think they are up to no good. As soon as I go online, there is evidence of China at my firewall. Perhaps it means nothing but from what has been happening, I do not think so. If they were harmless, they would quit -- but they don't. How do you imagine I found these blocks? Not through their good works.

Certain IP address included in these sites are relentless in what it is they do . . . and I suspect it is not good. Unfortunately, I believe they have spies and helpers already lodged with our Internet Service Providers such as cable and the telcos.

If you value your privacy, your information, and your computer, my suggestion is that you block these sites until Canada takes some steps to stop their activity. There is no point in complaining to the abuse address provided; China simply does not respond, so I have read. PAUL MARTIN, start working for your won citizens and block sites from China which are bothersome at best, and are likely something more insidious and dangerous for us at worst . . . IMHO.

Sites that I think should be blocked:

From China61.183.0.0 - 61.184.255.255
61.132.0.0 - 61.132.127.255

61.233.40.0 - 61.233.40.255 -- China Railcom Hebei Yangquan Subbranch, Telecommunication Company
Yangquan City, Shanxi Province

61.152.160.0 - 61.152.163.2 -- SOMEONE FROM THIS BLOCK IS RELENTLESS -- very busy checking whether it can break into my computer. Where is my government in protecting its own citizens?

202.111.173.0 - 202.111.173.127
219.151.128.0 - 219.153.255.255
202.111.173.0 - 202.111.173.127
218.90.0.0 - 218.94.255.255
221.10.0.0 - 221.10.255.255 -- CNC Group SiChuan province
219.151.128.0 - 219.153.255.255 -- CHINANET Chongqing province network

From Russia
195.9.0.0 - 195.9.255.255 -- a relatively new development

I believe others could be included but it would take more time which I do not have.
