Faculty members at a top Chinese university have collaborated for years on

accessed on the Internet, were co-authored by researchers at PLA Unit 61398,
allegedly an operational unit actively engaged in cyber-espionage, and faculty
at Shanghai Jiaotong University, a center of academic excellence with ties to
some of the world's top universities and attended by the country's political and
business elite. http://www.cnbc.com/id/100585097 Sunday, March 24, 2013
