An Internet security company reported Monday that Chinese hackers have threatened to attack the U.S. government and company Web sites, in retaliation for the recent plane collision and U.S. arms sales to the Taiwanese government.

The White House, the FBI, the New York Times and CNNfn's sister network, CNN, are apparently some of the companies that may be targeted.

Jack Danahy, vice president for the server security unit at WatchGuard Technologies, joined Bruce Francis and Patricia Sabga with more insights of the story.
