Hacking attribution is always a joke.
Even proving a hack happened is effectively impossible, especially if nothing is even leaked. Even if something is leaked, the people claiming to have been hacked might have just hacked it themselves.
Insofar as hacking does occur, governments simply should not talk about it. Obviously, the US hacks every country, and you don’t see every country going around complaining about it. Instead, you hear about measures to prevent it.
When the US government accuses a country they are starting a war with of hacking their base, this is not serious adult behavior, and anyone who believes it should be ridiculed and otherwise bullied.
RT:
Alleged state-sponsored Chinese hackers have infiltrated the US Treasury Department, gaining access to unclassified documents and certain workstations used by government employees, according to a letter sent by the department to lawmakers on Monday.
The Treasury Department was alerted to the breach on December 8 by BeyondTrust, a third-party software service provider. The hackers obtained a security key used by the vendor to secure a cloud-based service that remotely provides technical support for Treasury Departmental Offices (DO) end users. With this key, the perpetrators were able to override the service’s security, remotely access specific workstations, and gain access to unclassified documents maintained on those systems.
“Based on available indicators, the incident has been attributed to a Chinese state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor,” the Treasury Department stated in a formal letter dated December 30.
The department classified this breach as a major cybersecurity incident and has collaborated with the FBI, the intelligence community, and other investigators to assess the hack’s impact. The compromised service has been taken offline, and there is no evidence that the perpetrators still have access to Treasury information.
They just make this stuff up, whole cloth.
Remember a few months ago when Alex Karp, the Jewish CEO of military tech (spying and AI) startup Palantir announced that the only way forward for the US is do a 3-front war with Russia, China, and Iran?

It might be convenient that this will make him a lot of money, but it’s also necessary for America.
Earlier this month, he attended a pro-war event at the Reagan Library and made psychopath type statements about how everyone in the world should be afraid that Americans are going to “do very bad things to them.”
He is now a big Trump-supporter. He’s in with Elon and Vivek.
As everyone is probably aware, Palantier’s co-founder Peter Thiel was the primary backer and former employer of JD Vance.
It seems likely, or possibly inevitable, that in the first year of the Trump Administration there is going to be a massive push by all of these Silicon Valley people to escalate tensions with the Chinese. Aside from making a lot of money off of “defense,” these people now rightly view China as a major business competitor, and simply getting the American people to fight a war for them is a lot easier than outperforming them.
You’ll see many more stupid “Chinese hacker” stories that sound like they were written for babies. You may even hear that a Chinaman played a joke and went peepee in Donald’s Diet Coke. That is the level of adultness the US is operating on at this point.

Don’t forget the Chinese spy balloons, the most high tech equipment, the Chinese can make.
“Chinese state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor” yikes, talk about the pot calling the kettle black, and with as many scare words as possible and a cute little acronym to boot. Sure, trying to preserve your national sovereignty against a mad imperial power beating the war drums against you, why what could be more of a threat to the Land o’ the Free™ than that? I never expected the deep state to allow the Donald within a country mile of the White House again; clearly he’s made his bones with the devil to move back into that haunted house.
Let’s break this film down. We have a US government site contracting with a SaaS (software as a service operation), providing security, controlled access and support for their data. Then, somehow (no mention of how) a secure access key was ‘stolen’, allowing a bad actor to gain remote access to the data.
It seems to me that the question to be asked is how the hackers ‘stole’ the key? Obviously someone in the user chain, either at Treasury or BeyondTrust, knowingly or inadvertently gave it out. But now it’s China’s fault?
The next question deserving an answer is who at BeyondTrust is responsible for the breach? Remember, BT is an outfit providing cyber-security services, ostensibly so this sort of thing won’t happen in the first place.
Below is from their site. What a joke they are. If only they had hired some H1B Indians to man the controls, none of this would have happened. Or maybe they did. LOL
The original rationale for digitization was efficiency, data integrity and cost savings. Has anyone done a cost benefit analysis recently. Just based solely on the vulnerability to espionage, to steal entire datasets, I would say the equation has swung back in favour of a human based system using stone records – under frequency dampeners. Make those spies work hard to obtain a single record. You each get a white stone birth certificate and you sing a song no man can learn at your bank to get services aka a passphrase. Please support the superstitious to not be so heavily numbered up.
more us empire psy ops and propaganda again and again
That was as dumb as those “Putin tried to kill the Skripals with Novichok” stories. If Putin had wanted them dead, they’d be dead and he wouldn’t have waited so long. If China wants to spy on you, you won’t even know it’s happening.
Blame it on the Russians! OOPS – I mean blame it on China! Well, how about Iran while we’re at it! Where is Luigi when we need him?
Another slant worship article from the runt.
Hmm. No-one needs a firewall?
Of course the scary part of this story is that a lunatic like Karp has this much wealth, power and influence in the new administration. Lord have mercy.
People should stand firm against the ferocious hordes of Russia, China and, uh, yeah…Iran.
OK, that shit might need some work.
