China-Linked Hackers Breached 8 US Telecom Companies, White House Says

China-Linked Hackers Breached 8 US Telecom Companies, White House Says

Why does this keep on happening?

By Frank Fang for NTD (edited by TPR)

A top White House official said on Dec. 4 that Chinese state-sponsored hackers compromised at least eight U.S. telecommunication companies.

Anne Neuberger, deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, provided an update on the Chinese threat actor group called “Salt Typhoon” during a press briefing on Wednesday. The threat group is believed to have hacked into the communications of senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures, she said.

“We don’t believe any classified communications has been compromised,” Neuberger said.

The Chinese hacking appeared to target a relatively small group of Americans, she added, with only their phone calls and texts compromised. (Which likely means 10’s or 100’s of thousands of people. — TPR)

The telecommunications companies that were breached have responded, but none of them “have fully removed the Chinese actors from these networks,” according to Neuberger.

“So there is a risk of ongoing compromises to communications until U.S. companies address the cybersecurity gaps the Chinese are likely to maintain their access,” Neuberger said.

In October, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) identified the Chinese hacks, saying at the time that an investigation was underway.

In late November, Neuberger and White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan hosted telecommunications executives for a meeting to share intelligence and discuss how the U.S. government and the private sector could work together.

Neuberger said President Joe Biden has been briefed multiple times on the issue. The White House “has made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can,” she added.

Additionally, Neuberger pointed to efforts to improve cybersecurity in multiple sectors, including rail and energy, after the 2021 ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline.

Also at Wednesday’s press briefing, a senior administration official said Salt Typhoon’s activities started at least a year or two ago. Additionally, the official said a “couple dozen” countries have been impacted by the Chinese hacking.

The FBI and the CSIA issued a joint statement on Nov. 13, revealing that Chinese hackers had compromised the networks of multiple telecom companies and stole customer call records and private communications from “a limited number of individuals who are primarily involved in government or political activity.” (Which, given the trustworthiness of the Feds, likely means 10’s or 100’s of thousands of people. — TPR)

On Tuesday, the FBI, the CISA, the National Security Agency (NSA), and international partners published a guide on best practices for protecting communication infrastructures.

CISA Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity Jeff Greene conceded on Tuesday that he didn’t have a timeline on when Chinese hackers could be purged from U.S. telecom networks.

“It would be impossible for us to predict when we’ll have full eviction,” Greene said at the time.

In September, the Justice Department announced that the FBI had taken down a botnet associated with “Flax Typhoon,” a threat group operating through the Beijing-based Integrity Technology Group. The botnet consisted of more than 200,000 consumer devices—such as network cameras, video recorders, and home and office routers—in the United States and elsewhere.

Another Chinese threat group, “Volt Typhoon,” began targeting a wide range of networks across U.S. critical infrastructure in 2021. The group, which was dismantled by a multi-agency operation in January, had maintained “access and footholds within some victim IT environments for at least five years,” according to CISA.
Less inept than the federal agencies.

The feds have known about this for years, so why are we only hearing about their “attempts” to eliminate them now? They even admit they don’t know how long it will take to eradicate the threat!–TPR

This is sick. Trump has to move rally in doors because Biden-Harris ally was speaking at the UN. Trump had an outdoor rally planned in Wisconsin. It was to be at an airport that could hold 40-50,000. What happened nex was sickening.

Because the President of Iran was at the UN, they took some of Trumps Secret Service personel to protect Joe and Kamala’s bud. Why not take from Joe? He was hanging out at the WH at the time that already had a detail that’s there.

“We were going to have a thing outside someplace in an area where we could have held the people and I would say what do you think, 40,000, 50,000 people at least out there…thousands and thousands of people and they all could have had a lot of fun,” Trump said. “Instead, now they’re probably leaving and walking back home because we have a nice little room that probably holds 1,500, 2000, maybe less, and outside you have 40,000 or 50,000 people because the administration couldn’t give us the Secret Service necessary because they’re guarding the Iranian president who’s looking to kill Trump.”

Yes Virginia, Harris and friends are Trumps best advertisement for his victory. It looks like Harris and friends are making Trumps political adds for him.

You have Biden saying Harris has been running the government, Biden administration calling for the elimination of Trump. And even Harris saying how bad things have been the last four years.

Even with softball questions, Harris was dazed and confused.

 

  1. But nevertheless, she persisted with other, substantive questions. On tariffs, for example, she challenged Harris, who opposes Trump’s tariff policies. “But tariffs aren’t unique to President Trump,” the MSNBC anchor said. “President Biden has tariffs in place. He’s actually looking to potentially implement more. Where do you come out on, is there a good tariff, a bad tariff?” Harris was stumped again, attacking Trump’s proposed tariffs for being “across-the-board. The first two sentences says it all. https://youtu.be/LxmFSAaCV10

Short and sweet. If RFK jr has to stay on the ballot, why not Joe Biden?

The Michigan Supreme Court on Monday ruled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must stay on the state’s ballot even though he suspended his campaign. So, how’s this different from what Joe Biden did?

Maybe states that have Republican Secretaries of state should put Biden’s name back on the ballot. Wouldn’t that be fair? If Kennedy must stay on the ballot, then the same should be for Biden’s name to remain on the ballot.

What’s interesting is that Michigan tried to keep him off the ballot when he decided not to run, but now Michigan refuses to remove him from the ballot.

So who’s working those Jobs Harris and Biden talk about? Look no further than the CBO and the The Wall Street Journal.

Since the end of 2020, more than nine million people have migrated to the U.S., according to estimates and projections from the Congressional Budget Office.

Fewer than 30% of immigrants, 2.6 million are “lawful permanent residents,” green-card residents and those who came through legal channels.The other 6.5 million immigrant are “other foreign nationals,” mostly people crossing the southern border without authorization, according to the report.

Winning for now. Nationwide stay put on Hospitals that wish to mutilate children.

Winning for now. Nationwide stay put on Hospitals that wish to mutilate children.

In a significant victory for states’ rights and the protection of individual liberties, a U.S. District Court in Texas has issued a nationwide stay on key provisions of the Biden administration’s controversial Final Rule on Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities.

According to the press release:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won a nationwide stay that blocks the Biden Administration from forcing federally-funded healthcare providers to conduct “gender transition” surgeries. Previously, Texas won a stay of agency action that blocked the rule from enforcement in the plaintiff States, Texas and Montana. Applying the same logic, Texas then argued for nationwide relief, and the court has expanded the relief to the entire country.

In May 2024, the Biden Administration promulgated a new rule under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act that would defund healthcare providers across the country who refuse to perform or pay for experimental, unproven, and potentially dangerous “gender transition” procedures.

Under the rule, any medical institution that refused to perform the procedures could be stripped of all federal healthcare funds, including federal Medicaid and Medicare dollars. The rule further claimed to preempt any state laws forbidding such procedures.

In June 2024, Texas and Montana sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), arguing that the rule was a plainly unconstitutional attempt to override state law. The rule also relied on a misapplication of the Affordable Care Act which never authorized HHS or any government agency to compel institutions to perform or pay for these procedures.

“When Biden and Harris sidestep the Constitution to force their unlawful, extremist agenda on the American public, we are fighting back and stopping them,” said Attorney General Paxton.

“By blocking this destructive policy, which would have forced taxpayer-funded hospitals to conduct unproven and dangerous ‘gender transition’ procedures, Texas has delivered a major victory for Americans across the country.”

So, for those states that see no issues with the mutilation of children, this has to be heartbreaking for them.

Attorney General Ken Paxton on X: “Breaking: We have won a nationwide stay of a federal gender-identity mandate, blocking Biden from forcing taxpayer-funded hospitals to conduct “gender transition” surgeries. When Biden and Harris sidestep the Constitution to force their unlawful, extremist agenda on the American” / X

The scar that Harris and Biden left on this country. No compassion for the legal worker and family in the USA.

The scar that Harris and Biden left on this country. No compassion for the legal worker and family in the U S A.

I guess this started when Biden decided to go total lock down during his COVID pandemic. True that Trump lost 22 million jobs, BUT HE GOT BACK 10 MILLION IN A FEW SHORT MONTHS.

Joe Biden took almost three years to recover the other 12 million. Why so long? His 6 trillion in new spending that caused inflation. Going up to almost 10% under his administration.

But the opening of the southern border was the killer. We hear anywhere from 10-20 million undocumented flooded our border. And where were they going to work?

I saw a leftist cry out that we needed to show compassion for these folks. A small number were fearful of government persecution. But most came for the jobs. Where was the compassion for the American workers and legal immigrants who had to compete against these interlopers?

Where was the compassion for the hundred thousand deaths a year because of the drugs brought in from the southern border? Excuse me for not caring about folks who brought unemployment and death upon those born here and those here legally.

Sorry Virginia. The ABC debate was between Trump and the Democrat who was selected by 14 million voters. Not the hand picked surrogate.

In case you mised it Donald Trump agreed to a debate with Joe Biden. The powers to be decided to bypass Joe and pick someone who would do their bidding.

Trump agreed to the FOX debate and was under the understanding that Harris did to. Her handlers said no. It had to be someone who would grill Trump, but kiss Harris’s ass.

Late Friday, Trump said he agreed to debate Harris on Fox News on September 4. “The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant,” he posted on Truth Social.

“The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined,” he continued. “The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!”

Stay tuned.

Israelis Brace for Potential Attack by Biden-Harris ally. Progressive leaning Iran.

Israelis Brace for Potential Attack by Biden-Harris ally. Progressive leaning Iran.

Make no mistake. The present administration removed sanctions on Iran thinking that Iran would be forever grateful. So what did removing those sanctions get us in return?

Terrorists armed with drones, misles, and who knows what else. So where are we now with Iran? Oh and Iran continues to process Uranium to create a nuclear weapon.

The Jerusalem Post reported speculation that Iran would attack on the Jewish holiday of Tisha B’Av, the Ninth of Av, a day of mourning on which the destruction of the First and Second Temples is commemorated by fasting:

Western intelligence sources told Sky News Arabia that they had evidence Iran plans to attack Israel on Tisha B’Av in response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, which begins on August 12 and ends on August 13, the site reported on Friday.

The report indicates that there is an emotional and psychological impact in targeting Israel on the holy day of mourning.

The report claimed that Jewish Israelis may feel particularly vulnerable on this day – adding an additional layer of psychological torment.

Can you really protect yourself 100% against an enemie who’s goal is to end your very existance? Rumors flew of potential Iranian plans — including a missile strike several times larger than the 300 projectiles launched at Israel in April, almost all of which were intercepted.

Biden’s new Supreme Court reform proposals are mostly useless. Two things we know for sure. No changes this year for the Supreme Court. Odds are it won’t even come up for a vote. And next year the Republicans will control the Senat for sure. So forget about it.

The ethics code would be unenforceable. Biden forgets that there’s a thing called seperation of powers. Even the fanatics at VOX agree.
