The question is why don't you ever hear about some huge Chinese or Russian website being hacked? It seems most of these types of high level intrusions can be traced back to those two countries.
We can only HOPE that somewhere the US has a Top Secret Cyber Warfare group that's so good they never get caught.

Well, I have, occasionally, heard about such things, but personally, I don't live in China or Russia, I don't speak Chinese or Russian, I don't really know any Russians, the only ethnic Chinese I know are either Silicon Valley residents or employees of a Taiwan-based company I work for as an engineer (and at least two of them are also US citizens and spent the vast majority of their careers in Silicon Valley!), and at the end of the day, I just don't really care what goes on with Chinese and Russian websites. I'd venture a guess that I'm not unusual in that regard amongst Americans or, for that matter, most other non-Russian and non-Chinese people in the world.
I'd also note that laws and business culture in both places may well be even less conversant to public revelation of security breaches than in the English-speaking world.
Thus, I would find it very odd if a western news agency spent much time reporting on the security of Chinese and Russian websites.
