China Hacked US Banking Regulator From 2010 Until 2013 - and US Officials Covered It Up: Report (reuters.com)
According to a Congressional report, China's spies hacked into computers at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) from 2010 until 2013. The report adds that American government officials tried to cover it up. From a Reuters report: "Even the former Chairwoman's computer had been hacked by a foreign government, likely the Chinese," staff at the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space and Technology said in the report. The report was the latest example of how deeply Washington believes that Beijing has penetrated U.S. government computers. But while making the allegation that China was the culprit, the report does not provide specific evidence to support that conclusion.
i heard an american scooped up tons of classified data and put it on her personal email server, and then they made her president.
Good people go to bed earlier.
Yesterday we learned the State Department destroyed public records concerning the illegal use of US government funds to campaign against Netanyahu. We are, once again, expected to believe that State Department officials are somehow blithely ignorant of their obligations to retain government records. We are expected to believe the correlation between deleted messages and illegal activity is purely coincidental. Just saving a little space in the inbox.
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
Seriously, china is in a cold war with the west. So, they are going to do everything that we allow them to do, though I am not certain why we allow this.
BUT, it is not much different than what is happening with India. We see all of these backdoors going into our corporate software which is then traced to 'Russia', and nearly all of these have 2 things in common. The first is that they run Windows, and the Second is that within the previous 2 years, normally 1, the company outsourced to India. Not any other nation, just India. And why does this matter? Because the average Indian IT worker makes less than $10,000. It should not be surprising then that backdoors come in from India, which are then removed by Russians and replaced with different ones.
Just 20-30 years ago, it was well known that any massive pay difference would lead to ppl being bought. And Russia remains good friends with India and can travel freely over there (and they do). So, America not only allows numerous nations to manipulate and dump on their markets, but then also, we KNOWINGLY allow attacks from both China AND India.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
She a rich American politician, she has a higher level of citizen status. Now get back to your stable lower class citizen.

The FDIC is a private corporation serving private banks who use the private entity known as the Federal Reserve to earn a spread on your deposits.
How the whole Federal Reserve system came to be and who created and runs it is some deeply disturbing shit. Add the fact that the US has no gold reserves, not even the gold they supposedly hold for other nations. It's all been looted.
A good read on the history behind the creation of the US Federal Reserve is "The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look At The Federal Reserve" by G. Edward Griffin.
