A group of hackers with connections to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have compromised the enter National Guard network, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo.

A Department of Defense (DOD) report found that the hacking group, known as Salt Typhoon, had “extensively compromised a U.S. state’s Army National Guard network” from March 2024 through December, the June 11 memo revealed, obtained by NBC News.

The memo did not divulge which state’s National Guard network had been breached, yet according to the DoD, helmed by Pete Hegseth, the sensitive data included “these networks’ administrator credentials and network diagrams—which could be used to facilitate follow-on Salt Typhoon hacks of these units.”

According to the DHS, it opens the door for the group to “facilitate the hacking of other states’ Army National Guard units, and possibly many of their state-level cybersecurity partners.”

Understand the coup plan. Expose it, Explain it and encourage everyone to do the right and appropriate thing to stop it

Making DEI the enemy instead of foreign adversaries has a predictable effect. Chaos and ruin.

Dicktater will step in.

HE THRIVES ON CHAOS.




Details at my post above. The Chinese OWN the U.S. infrastructure. Joe Biden's cybersecurity directives were rescinded, opening the door wide. Other articles I have read decry the laissez-faire U.S., and especially, corporate security situation.
