But more recently, it has accused the U.S.'s National Security Agency of hacking specific targets. China accused a top U.S. spy agency of stealing Chinese user data and infiltrating the country's telecommunications infrastructure, according to a report published Tuesday, which lays out details of the alleged cyberattack method. Chinese state media last week first reported on an alleged attack by the U.S. National Security Agency on China's government funded Northwestern Polytechnical University and promised that more details would follow. Tuesday's report from China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and cybersecurity company 360, lays out the specific ways the alleged attack was carried out. The NSA was able to get into the university's network, get the credentials of people who worked there, which allowed the U.S. agency to further penetrate the systems, the report alleged.

Dig Security says its proprietary technology can detect and shut down data breaches in real time. Its CEO says he uses his experience in Israel's Unit 8200 to get inside the mind of an attacker. Dig recently raised $34 million led by SignalFire using this pitch deck. Despite spending four years in the Israeli military, Dan Benjamin, the CEO and cofounder of the cloud security startup Dig Security, never saw combat. Benjamin spent his years of compulsory military service in an elite digital spy agency known as Unit 8200.

Whistleblower Edward Snowden has a new title: Russian citizen. U.S. authorities have for years wanted Snowden returned to the United States to face a criminal trial on espionage charges. Snowden said in 2019 that he was willing to return to the U.S. if he’s guaranteed a fair trial. In fact, in 2016, The Washington Post’s own editorial board opposed granting the whistleblower a pardon. He is one of 75 foreign nationals listed by the decree as being granted Russian citizenship.

REUTERS/Olesya AstakhovaSept 26 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Monday granted Russian citizenship to former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, nine years after he exposed the scale of secret surveillance operations by the National Security Agency (NSA). U.S. authorities have for years wanted him returned to the United States to face a criminal trial on espionage charges. He said that Snowden's wife Lindsay Mills, who gave birth to a son in 2020, would also apply for citizenship. Russia granted Snowden permanent residency rights in 2020, paving the way for him to obtain Russian citizenship. Putin, a former Russian spy chief, said in 2017 that Snowden, who keeps a low profile while living in Russia, was wrong to leak U.S. secrets but was not a traitor.

☆ DeSantis and the GOP's myth of an 'open border'

One would think that those perpetuating the “open border” myth would be eager to seize every opportunity to strengthen border security. This action — and similar ones orchestrated by other GOP governors — have also deliberately elevated the “open border” narrative, which falsely represents that unlawful immigrants are waltzing into the U.S. through a porous southern border in droves. Contrary to the “open border” myth, U.S. borders are guarded by a vast and well-funded national security agency that has grown far larger and more powerful in recent years. Nick Ut / Getty Images fileOne would think that those perpetuating the “open border” myth would be eager to seize every opportunity to strengthen border security. Characterizing the humanitarian challenge at the southern border as a solely U.S. “open border” problem also presents an inaccurate picture of the global forced displacement crisis.
☆ Chinese state media claims U.S. NSA infiltrated country's telecommunications networks
  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Arjun Kharpal | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
But more recently, it has accused the U.S.'s National Security Agency of hacking specific targets. A U.S. intelligence agency gained access to China's telecommunications network after hacking a university, Chinese state media claimed Thursday. American hackers stole "core technology data including key network equipment configuration, network management data, and core operational data," and other files, according to the Global Times. As part of the NSA's hack, the agency infiltrated Chinese telecommunications operators so that the U.S. could "control the country's infrastructure," the Global Times alleged. The Global Times, citing its unnamed source, reported that more details about the attack on Northwestern Polytechnical University will be released soon.
