The China Thread (Threat)

[AWP]

Cybersecurity is like anything else, only as strong as the weakest link. I'll spare you the nerd admin rant on how this is supposed to be prevented, but the nerd tech rant is to keep your security patches and firmware up to date. Long passwords. Complex is great (the DoD has lied to us all of these years), but length matters (that's what she said).

Cybersecurity isn't hard, people are just lazy.

The US Treasury Department notified lawmakers on Monday that a China state-sponsored actor infiltrated Treasury workstations in what officials are describing as a “major incident.”

In a letter reviewed by CNN, a Treasury official said it was informed by a third-party software service provider on December 8 that a threat actor used a stolen key to remotely access certain Treasury workstations and unclassified documents.

A gov't network was breached because a third-party didn't do its job. Strong work.

We just closed on our SBA Disaster Loan. I hope this ^^^ doesn't slow up the disbursement.

Ain't just the Air Force, sadly.
TikToc needs to go away.

Aaaanndd....

It's back. TikTok was officially banned Sunday morning, but did Trump save it? Here's where things stand.

This is massive and in any other situation would have brought down the government.

A public letter written by RCMP Sgt. Peter Merrifield and retired Det. Paul McNamara exposes shocking allegations:

Unredacted intel leaks compromised Canadian agents abroad.

Political targeting of Conservatives occurred without valid cause.

CSIS and RCMP are accused of misleading investigations & covering up intel failures.

9 Liberal ministers allegedly ignored national security warnings for 2+ years.

It's been a few days since the election, I had finally "calmed down" from the stupidity of my fellow Canadians. Including a few ignorant aunts and uncles, stuck on the hate Trump train.

Then I read this with my morning coffee. This is obviously what Trump was referring to when he discussed fentanyl coming from Canada.

Canada is now owned by the CCP. Forget the 51st, we're the New Canadian Province of the Peoples Republic of China.

Canada Blocked DEA Request to Investigate Massive Toronto Carfentanil Seizure for Terror Links

The Cunt responsible for blocking these requests, would have been Bill Blair, he's on the list of compromised Members of Parliament. He's currently Minister of National Defence, previously Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, as well as Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. He was also Toronto Police Services, Chief of Police.

At this point there’s a Canada threat. Maybe we separate it to its own thread until they stop booing our National Anthem and start respects authority again.

Canada is now a threat to our democracy and tariffs should target their lessor economy.

At 6,500 feet below sea level, China is building an underwater station as complex as three ISS modules to hunt for buried treasures.

This is pretty cool. The challenges to build something like this at this depth to my unscientific mind seems extremely harder than building something in space.

This is pretty cool. The challenges to build something like this at this depth to my unscientific mind seems extremely harder than building something in space.

Environmental concerns surround the extraction of methane and rare minerals from these sensitive habitats. Advanced technologies aboard the station, particularly autonomous submersibles, will monitor environmental impacts of resource exploitation. Scientists hope this careful approach will establish sustainable practices for marine resource utilization while protecting fragile deep-sea ecosystems.

Is the author aware China doesn't give a chicken fried fuck about the environment?

That aside, very interesting and impressive engineering if they can pull it off. It was also a horribly written article. Almost like it was AI-produced and the author is taking credit for the ChatGPT output.

But but but but I was led to believe that rubber stamping every single "student" from our singular greatest threat on the world's stage was not only empathetic and one of our American core values but NECESSARY AND GOOD.

Marco Rubio needs to nuke every single student visa, every single one of these "just doing research" passes, every single conditional entry to the US from China, right now. Blow them all up, stop the program until we can figure out a very robust vetting process.

I have a friend, a former coworker from back in the day who joined the FBI. He told me off the record some years ago that at some universities Chinese students account for as high as 70% with connections to CCP and/or Chinese intelligence and/or Chinese military. I was speechless.

Don't forget if you question their presence, motivation, China itself, etc. you are now racist.

I'm glad the article pointed out the land would be a great place to stage drone attacks like the one we just saw in Russia. I'm sure our open borders for the last few years didn't include smuggled hardware, only hardworking people wanting better lives...
