So it seems that this operating system is not really what is was presented as. The Washington Times article references Kevin G. Coleman, an advisor to the government, as the primary source for the Kylin information. I doubt that it was an intentional misrepresentation but it is difficult to imagine presenting Kylin as anything to be concerned about when it didn’t take very much effort to figure out that it isn’t worthy of anyone’s attention. Not only is it not widely deployed, it isn’t new, unique or in any way innovative in terms of security.
Cyber conflict is growing more and more popular, but at the same time its getting more hype than it deserves. I swear every time you see the words "Chinese Hackers" they are usually attached to some larger conspiracy, I just don't see this as the case. Yes, they are patriotic to a fault. Yes, they can potentially be dangerous. Yes, they've been pushing the limits of our security for years. But no, they are not coordinated and in all honesty I believe they aren't very centralized. More on this as I do more research.
