I read this book The Hacker Crackdown in the early 90s, mentions WANK worm and a pre-wikileaks Assange, and it ends with "this wasnt the end of hackers, it was the end of armature's".

It basically sets the scene for electronic warfare in the now, and as it was written pre-World Wide Web, it shows that the battle lines were drawn before http. (we did have the internet, just not the web until 94)
The Chinese systems were based on old western systems and of course they must have their own version of Echelon Programme. Or "Prizm" as it may have been rebranded as. NSA wanted full spectrum dominance, and of course the Chinese are trying to compete with that.
Quote: book discusses watershed events in the hacker subculture in the early 1990s. The most notable topic covered is Operation Sundevil and the events surrounding the 1987–1990 war on the Legion of Doom network: the raid on Steve Jackson Games, the trial of "Knight Lightning" (one of the original journalists of Phrack), and the subsequent formation of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
