Hackers working on behalf of the Chinese government broke into the computer networks of at least six state governments in the United States in the last year, according to a report released Tuesday by a private cybersecurity firm.

The report from Mandiant does not identify the compromised states or offer a motive for the intrusions, which began last May. But the Chinese group believed responsible for the breaches, APT41, is known to launch hacking operations both for old-fashioned espionage purposes and for financial gain.

The same hacking group, APT41, was implicated in a 2020 Justice Department indictment that accused Chinese hackers of targeting more than 100 companies and institutions in the U.S. and abroad, including social media and video game companies, universities and telecommunications providers.

The neo-cons want us on a permanent war footing with Russia and China again.

Except now we’re overrun by communists, too, and the war is over which brand of communism should prevail.

PLEASE don’t post these articles! Only RUSSIA is our enemy, at least this week. We don’t want to confuse people regarding which country we really should watch out for.
