More Security Theater

 

The New York Post has reported that China compromised US telecommunications systems in an attempt to break into Trump’s and Vance’s cellphones.

“This is the continuation of election interference by Kamala Harris and Democrats who will stop at nothing, including emboldening China and Iran attacking critical American infrastructure, to prevent President Trump from returning to the White House,” said Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung. “Their dangerous and violent rhetoric has given permission to those who wish to harm President Trump.

“They have now stood by and allowed major foreign adversaries to attack us in order to illegally help Kamala because they know she represents a weak American who will always bow down. Whereas, President Trump will actually stand up against our enemies and defend the United States from any and all aggression.”

Harris is also mentioned as a target.

The story also includes a summary of Iranian mischief alleged in a September 26th indictment from the DOJ. Confidential material obtained by Iran from hacks that included four Trump campaign operatives was provided to the Biden campaign, including “a dossier on Vance as well as material to help Biden prepare for his June 27 debate against Trump.” Tehran has expressed a clear preference for Harris in the election. It will be interesting to see how a victorious Trump will respond if things break his way.

Meanwhile, Harris appears to be very, very safe from America’s enemies.

    I’ll settle for the Iranians providing super-secret devastating confidential information from the Trump campaign so Joe was able to lock up the debate.

    Deep in the underground passages of the Shaolin Hacker Temple.

    I just posted the following in the AI and Surveillance Technology group.  Seems appropriate to copy it here.

    Found this article on Krebs. It is about commercially available cell phone tracking. Users can select a location and see which phones are there. One example was a courthouse parking lot reserved for jurors. Yeah. To say nothing of places of worship, police stations, etc..

    The link to the article is: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/10/the-global-surveillance-free-for-all-in-mobile-ad-data/

    I can’t actually open that article, but it is mostly accessible from the home page (as of 26 Oct 2024).

    We have domestic commercial entities that will surveil us and sell our data, and I resent it.

    Preach it, brother. It’s the wild, wild web out there and our telecom records, emails, texts, and net access histories are all up for grabs. They are the property of whoever captures and stores them, not us.
