A while ago, there was a scandal with the Internet in China about several people's use of it. The Internet was hacked in the US and information was being sent to China. Most of the info taken by the hackers included some data from the US' FBI and about the US military. The last time it has happened, nothing concrete was done by China or the US to solve the problem.

What do you think should happen? Should there be a law to stop this? Should the hackers be arrested in China?
I imagine that there are already plenty of laws that prohibit hacking of this nature. This reminds me of the news about the Syrian Electronic Army, a pro-Assad group of people that have hacked notable websites such as Facebook, eBay, and even the homepage of Harvard University. They were more commonly talked about in the media back in the summer when the chemical weapons were used and Obama gave his talk to the nation. Since then, they've fallen out of the news a bit given our public's short term memory.
