For 18 Minutes, 15% of the Internet Routed Through China

olsmeister writes "For 18 minutes this past April, 15% of the world's internet traffic was routed through servers in China. This includes traffic from both .gov and .mil US TLDs." The crazy thing is that this happened months ago, and nobody noticed. Hope you're encrypting your super-secret stuff.

I knew something was weird

All my emails started showing up with fortunes and free eggrolls.

This is why I only anonymize and encrypt nonsensitive data, like MySpace traffic, dating sites, etc. You want my shopping wish list on Amazon?! CRACK MY ENCRYPTION, NSA!!! But that stuff about overthrowing the government is wide open. Throws 'em way off.

It's an API that lets you randomly write to memory addresses on their servers.

Depends, what is the normal average for traffic going through China? Among other things such as did China just happen to have the best routes for this anyways? This summary doesn't give the basic necessary information, oh wait this is slashdot I though I was in a different tab for a min.

Isn't that why they have the whole meta-moderate in the firehose thing?
