A foreign-backed hacking group reportedly stole data from the US Treasury and the Commerce Dept’s National Telecommunications & Information Administration, which is an “agency responsible for deciding policy around the internet and telecommunications.”

Hmmm, CHINA? 🧐

Could be Russia, too, but here is part of why I suspect China, being they targeted an Internet and telecommunications agency.

China and Huawei also want to replace TCP/IP with their own technology and they want this implemented across the globe.

Don’t forget that they also want to control #5G across the globe, which is scary as s**t!

Huawei and Sberbank formed a cloud partnership while scheming to try to control the internet.

China is in charge of the UN’s International Communications Union (among being in charge of several other UN agencies, but those are for other thrreads), which ratifies global Internet standards.

So, does this mean the breach of Treasury and Commerce occurred through a SolarWinds product?

Yikes! There’s a Trojan in the SolarWinds Orion business software updates. So, when businesses updated their software, it installed malware onto client systems, allowing the hackers access to business & government networks.

The malware allows for the ability to transfer files, disable system services, and other nefarious activities.

Krebs was Director of CISA at the time this happened. Maybe it wasn’t being anti-Trump that got him fired...
