If you haven't heard yet, China is up to their old tricks again hacking some of our top stock market picks. Maybe they are looking for stock to buy, who knows? Could this somehow affect the price of PM's or just the price of some stocks, which in turn could affect the price of PM's? What are they up to over there anyways? Anyone? http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/19/how-big-is-chinas-cyber-threat/?iref=allsearch
As long as you've had your flu shot, you should be fine. Just try not to let them hack on you, if you can help it.
I don't think so, I think they were just trying to hack the mint's system so they could get old design files on rare us coins so they could make better counter fits. Same reason they hacked Apple and several other large businesses, its all about the counter fit.
