U.S. won't confirm report of Chinese hacking

| When asked whether the Commerce Department is looking into the matter,
| spokesman Richard Mills said, "We take security seriously, and as we learn of
| concerns about security, we look into them."

| The AP account says that when it asked the Commerce secretary about this
| alleged breach, he said, "because there is an investigation going on, I would
| rather not comment on that. To the extent that there is an investigation
| going on, those are the things being looked at; those are the questions being
| asked. I don't think I should provide any speculative answers."

| Turkish crescent-and-star emblem on its forehead) play front-and-center in
| the program's graphical interface, and the video's speaker walks the viewer
| through a 5-minute-plus tutorial on using the program. More than 17,000
| people have watched it.
