US, China Announce Plans to Cooperate on Cybersecurity

In a joint news conference held Monday, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chinese Minister of National Defense Gen. Liang Guanglie announced that both nations will cooperate on cyber-related issues in the future. These efforts are needed to avoid potential missteps that could “lead to crisis in this area,” said Panetta.  In recent years, officials of both nations have traded cyberespionage accusations, although attacks are notoriously difficult to trace to their origins.
