   China is on the list, yes, as is Russia, but IMO North Korea is pretty high   
   on the list, as are other government-level bad actors... including   
   Washington, D.C. The name "Jia Tan" might have been selected as a deliberate   
   misdirection (although if I were to choose an alias for such purposes, I   
   wouldn't choose a name suggesting a culture I'm not familiar with; I'd go   
   with "Bob Smith" or similar.)   
      
   (There's also the outside possibility that it *wasn't* a state actor.   
   Unlikely, but possible.)   
      
   Also: Why is this being brought up *now* in this group, when it was the hot   
   topic a few *weeks* ago in Linux circles? Slow newsday, much?
