read up on Volt Typhoon and then tell me you want western countries outfitted with PRC infrastructure
Every countries hacks each other! Welcome to life!
The USA even hacks it's so called allies or vassal countries!
Every country tries to hack each other. Doesn't mean we should make it easy for them.
I guess you are not using windows, MacOS or Linux?
You are using openBSD in text mode?
Why OpenBSD in particular? I am also curious what is wrong with Linux?
OpenBSD has the best security features!
Kind of hard to learn it
I mean, similar to that argument, I'm not using Chinese software/hardware, so at least I'm doing something?
The only guarantee for privacy is to not be online at all, but that ship has sailed for all of us
Yeah, what you're doing is making it easy for US government to spy on you.
Please check where your electronic device is made!
Either South Korea or Vietnam! Not China, surprisingly!
I don't want western countries outfitted with NSA/FBI/CIA infrastructure but here we are lol
Is it worst than Israel's cyber groups, which the US supports?
is the US a democracy? I think that modern democracy is an illusion... vote dem or rep and you get the same result... vote anything else and you can be sure that your vote doesn't count
At least it's an illusion. Many countries can honestly admit it ruled by one party!
Well, one of those democracies is committing a genocide these months while others enable it.
"oh no! hackers learned how to hack in... public universities! The horror of PRC-sponsored hacking!"
what a dumb comment. Volt Typhoon have been discovered in critical infrastructure—not universities—across the world using lotl techniques. they are a group not hacking for espionage but hacking to directly sabotage their targets… i.e. shutting down electricity grids, telecommunications, water, etc.
also, they are not “PRC-sponsored”, they are the PRC, more specifically the PLA.
