The Chinese government is for sure a plausible culprit here, but consider that the American government (NSA, or another TLA) is also a plausible culprit. If this ends up successfully blamed on the Chinese, it builds support for "cyberwar" defence funding in the US.

kardos, that is fair. I do not know which government entity paid for this poster, just that as usual someone is trying to sway online opinion with their workforce.
