What was said
"Somebody came directly from Beijing into West Coast University using the account of a Chinese foreign national. I went to this college but I had since graduated and logged into 37 or so military installations and each login was somewhat haunting."
Mandia recounts an early Air Force OSI investigation in 1995/96 in which monitoring at a US university allegedly showed intrusions originating from Beijing. He says the activity pivoted through the university into dozens of military and national-lab systems, validating credentials across multiple installations.
