A state-sponsored Chinese hacking group has been spying on a wide range of U.S. critical infrastructure organizations, from telecommunications to transportation hubs, Western intelligence agencies and Microsoft (MSFT.O) said on Wednesday.
The espionage has also targeted the U.S. island territory of Guam, home to strategically important American military bases, Microsoft said in a report, adding that "mitigating this attack could be challenging.
"The Chinese activity is unique and worrying also because analysts don't yet have enough visibility on what this group might be capable of, he added.
"There is greater interest in this actor because of the geopolitical situation."
As China has stepped up military and diplomatic pressure in its claim to democratically governed Taiwan, U.S. President Joe Biden has said he would be willing to use force to defend Taiwan.
Security analysts expect Chinese hackers could target U.S. military networks and other critical infrastructure if China invades Taiwan.

I am going to continue to call out seeing someone post from a WS platform.There’s LITERALLY an article linked in both the first and third Twitter posts in my OP (courtesy of Insiderpaper and CNBC).
Anyone with a brain and who’s literate could just tap the article on the Tweet. I’m assuming that those two qualities don’t apply to either of you.

Clicking that shyt sets a bad precedent; "it's on twitter, so it must be factual, grassroots reporting", that's how misinformation starts
