The New York Times reported, "Chinese intelligence agents acquired National Security Agency hacking tools and repurposed them in 2016 to attack American allies and private companies in Europe and Asia, a leading cybersecurity firm has discovered. The episode is the latest evidence that the United States has lost control of key parts of its cybersecurity arsenal."
2016.

ReplyDeleteI originally thought the Sheryl Atkinson story sounded a bit out there on here computers being hacked, but with all that has come out on the Trump spying that I never would have imagined happening in the US, I wonder...

We think that Sotero has reached bottom, but the news keeps Pointing out that his administration was even worse than imagined.
ReplyDeleteNeed to crowdfund a trainload of chalk, so's someone can write "I will not suborn the United States of America" on the blacktop from New York to San Fran.
ReplyDeleteWith the immature, stupid, arrogant, criminal people who are in charge of national security, seems like the only reason there hasn't been another horrific attack on the US is that the Chinese are doing more damage stealthily.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it seems to be the Augean Stable.
ReplyDeleteGonna hafta divert the Potomac to clear out this mess...
