@thenewoil the report says 'suspected Chinese state actors.' headlines usually drop the 'suspected.' the investigation is ongoing.

@[email protected] Replying for others to see: this is a disingenuous, astroturfing response. Cybersecurity researchers RARELY attribute attacks unless they're 100% positive because they know it's a serious accusation that can cause real-world political incidents. This is only "suspected" in the sense that we "suspect" OJ killed his wife.

I "suspect" this account is fake, based on the age and posts.

@thenewoil ``This prompted the FBI to urge Americans to switch to end-to-end encrypted messaging apps.''

Excellent! Thank you China. I hope all this eventually puts an end to all the silly nonsense about government back-doors in software.
