William; sorry if this has already been posted, but thought you might find it interesting................ Electronic Espionage Mystery Signal Attacks China Satellite (Hope it doesn't hit DOJ) BEIJING - A mysterious signal hitting a Chinese telecommunications satellite is disrupting share trading, earthquake monitoring systems, and pager services in China, a newspaper reported today. Puzzled technicians had ruled out a problem with the satellite and tests showed that the interference, which began on 14 March, was Earth-based, said the Beijing Youth Daily, which reported that investigators had not ruled out an attack by domestic or foreign saboteurs. A transmitter aboard the Apstar-1 orbiter had "suddenly received a signal of neutralizing interference from an unknown outside source," the paper said. The disruption reportedly affected more than 400 securities and futures companies and 100 paging services, cutting off service to more than 10 million pager users. Service had been restored to most users of the satellite by switching them to other channels. Apstar-1 was launched in 1994 and targets television users across Asia. It was not clear if the disruption also affected other users of the satellite in the region. Wired News, March 25, 1998
