Hackers linked to Chinese government stole millions in Covid benefits

have testified to Congress that by now, every adult American has had all or most of their personal data stolen by the Chinese government.Beijing has increasingly turned its focus to breaching U.S. critical infrastructure in recent years, say current and former officials and China and cybersecurity experts,China’s targets include state governments, which can have inadequate cybersecurity defenses. “The state governments don’t allocate a lot of cyber protection money to their state I.T.

Hultquist told NBC News that Mandiant analysts discovered at least two occasions involving interactions with servers associated with state benefits after May 2021. The Department of Labor, the Small Business Administration, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the White House all declined to comment and referred NBC News to the DOJ. The FBI and DOJ declined to comment. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment.

“If we can come together and really have open and honest conversations about what works well and what went very wrong, we would just be in a much better place to stop this,” said Maryland Secretary of Labor Tiffany Robinson, who said her state’s system is still bogged down by thousands of fraudulent applications and phone calls each week. “Because this is not over.”

Theft of U.S taxpayer funds by APT41, a Chengdu-based hacking group is the first instance of pandemic fraud tied to foreign, state-sponsored cybercriminals that the U.S. government acknowledged publicly, but may just be the tip of the iceberg, according to cybersecurity experts

So, the grand evidence provided for this accusation: Many instances of 'believed'

😮

Are you saying that they gave us the Covid & then stole our Covid money?! Scoundrels!

Well I guess it beats bullets for Ukraine.

I must be the only honest man in America who didn’t try to defraud the govt during Covid. Feels pretty lonely.

I see , hackers, the chinese government, and Secret Service. I don't think I should believe anything any of these people say.

😬😠

And it was China that created and allowed the leak of the virus. When will HouseGOP and SenateGOP push TheDemocrats for an investigation into the real origins of this man-made virus, as well as all the other threats posed by China? Me thinks our politicians are loyal to China

Why would they hack the us government when they could have just asked Biden for money. We’re already giving away billions to Ukraine for what? For nothing.

Where the fact check. I'm not buying that they just stole 20 mill like that. someone turn on the Elon signal

Q: did the era of trump make millions off Covid relief $$$$ too

So they gave us the world the virus and then they still shut down the economy there and stole the stimulus money. Nice.

Ask Biden’s handlers

Suuuure

What did RepSwalwell know, & when did he know it? FangFang

ricknbc They found that, but can't find their own phone records from in and around J6.

should have twenty trillion, could use it for toilet purposes.

China is a nation of thieves.

JoshKraushaar They didn’t want to stand out since everyone else was defrauding the Government.

Probably because people were 'hacking'

Biden administration has been incompetent all the way through this presidency.

saletan Along with some of our elected officials like MTG

'I can't believe it' - someone from TikTok

No Joke!

How can we be smart enough to know they did it, but NOT smart enough to prevent it? 😨

Pentagon lost another trillion or two and sadly this happens fairly regularly. Our own defense industry does more economic damage than Chinese hackers.

If the Chinese are pulling off these crimes; who within our own government are perpetrating the same crimes. The New world order: ‘Cheat, lie, steal!’

That ain't all chynah stole right, joe?

Government gave 27 million to a DC orchestra to stay home.

Heinous,insidious and diabolical !

That's pocket chance compared to the Congress. Fleeced the American people

Wuhan whistleblower claims COVID-19 leaked from Chinese labA whistleblower formerly of EcoHealth Alliance claims he saw the potential for a lab leak out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology as early as 2016. I knew that the first day I heard of infections in the market in Wuhan. But what has not been researched in how 5G could act like a 'grow light' for virus. Light grows plants. Did first-use of radio spark the Spaqnishflu in 1918? There is no one to investigate not TECH funded. Yea... We've been screaming it from the rooftops for the last 2 years while documented liars labeled us as liars.... No taxation without transparency

Defense bill could roll back Covid vaccine policy, top Dem saysThousands of troops have been kicked out for refusing the Covid vaccine. Undoing the 2021 policy would be a win for Republicans who argue it's exacerbating a recruiting and retention crisis. Would those who left the service be allowed to return? Yeah, and the McCarthy mob knows better than the Defense Secretary. How about investigating GymJordan ? They'll go Pvt Joker, and not reverse
