Ain’t globalism grand.
A hard lesson for the stupid.
This is Fake News.
I know cause it says twice in the first two sentences
“Back to China for no good reason.”
I know for a fact that if data were actually sent, it was sent for a good reason.
Even if I were ADA in the Rittenhouse case I could figure that out
When it became inevitable China was our enemy something about all this tech-cozy with China should have been done. Now with the disgusting Democrat-Boors in all the Call-the-shots places it will only be a matter of time we will be eating our pets instead of petting them.
9 Nov: UK Express: What’s going on? China stays quiet as Evergrande chaos threatens to sink economy
CHINA’S ruling Communist Party has continued to remain quiet despite fears its vital property market could crash.

It’s called, “phoning home.” Pretty much every device made in china that has the capacity, does so. Often it is delayed for days or weeks before it starts, just in case someone is testing it when new.
It’s insidious, pervasive, and our sellout “leaders” won’t stop it. They got theirs, and are set for life.
NSA please adjust the gateways with a simple permit or deny.

Biden is lowering America’s standards to bring this country economically in line with EU, Canada and the Anglo’s. The prices are too low and quantities to much currently. Trump policies had the US pulling ahead farer and faster. Biden is FastTracking globalization and standardized pricing.
Maybe we can use the new NATO Rubble or NWO Lira....
The Republicans can disrupt the NWO by ensuring American consumers are not paying inflated Standardized Prices that the EU is pushing to slow the USA down.
I use cash wherever possible.
If you do not take cash, someone else will
Oof.
While Biden is owned by Shanghai.
It's called:
Point Of Sale but imho, everything china makes is a different meaning of POS.
(From the article):” A subsidiary of the Chinese company, PAX Global, claimed that the security concerns were just “rumors.”
The company’s headquarters are split between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China.
PAX has manufactured 57 million terminals that operate in 120 countries around the world, according to its own claims.
On Oct. 26, the FBI raided PAX offices in Jacksonville, Florida.
And two days later, the company’s senior vice president of security and services quit her job.
A British security agency is also investigating the Chinese POS device manufacturer. “
“Cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs reported that the FBI raid was not only linked to the discovery of “unusual network packets” from the company’s terminals,
but to reports that the PAX systems could be linked to cyberattacks, hacks, and illicit data collection on U.S. and European Union organizations. “
Also of concern to U.S. security authorities is the use of software programs of Tik Tok and Zoom, despite their signiicant increased usage during the covid pandemic.

57 Million Credit Card Machines Likely Compromised:
Hundreds of millions of credit card users join Zoom and TikTok in likely data loss to China.
All depends on what the traffic is.
Code Signing with a certificate authority, a revocation list server china, is so common with IOT and POS devices. It 95% sloppy coding techniques and 5% lack of testing by the credit card companies that certify the endpoints that are allowed to join the particular CC clearing service.
The protocols by standard and firewall rule work over port 80 and are sniffable. We at fortune 500 run how good or bad the code signing CAs are daily. By changing the padding of the request, either in the post or the request header it has been shown data can be moved at a very low rate. A few bytes per request, but for some applications that is enough.
The industry I am in, the Q testers tend to call the vendor who supplied a .jar, and 99% of the time it is java code container, and have them respin the code signing to a world wide certificate company so we have someone to sue in case of breach. The request to china takes 300ms to fullfil and most implantation of java do not parrell code signing checking very well. So 3 to 5 signed .jar in the wrong region tend to add human noticeable delays.
This is a very well known issue among people who test hardware with vendor provided “java inside”. Your typical firewall administrator audits logs looking for traffic to the less trusted (china based) code signing certificate providers. With POS systems unfortunately most administrators just allow what comes out of any new black box. Well until the Target hack.
You now know how critical the connectivity to the CRL and OCSP servers are for daily life. It is some of the most robust services of the internet you probably did not know about.
Other phone backs are trivial to block unless sent to Amazon and Azure, then every call could be a update service enabler that needs to be figured out, or the notified vendor drops the call from the code revision. The code guys are sloppy and most of the time dont realize those telemetry blocks made it to production code. With any skill of code hiding CC machines are leaking customer information to china and everyone else.
But that same CC information can be bought legitimately from the CC transaction providers. It is marketing data that you buy a slurpy, 2 longjohns and 8 gallons of gas every morning at 5am at the local 7-11. It probably can be figured out when you start buying sex lube at any drug store. Cash is king when wishing to go off book with China, Your Wife or Your Bank (and FBI).
