I don't want to alarm anyone and its not because I have been so steeped in the Cyber Security arena for so long I can't see. Yet, our numb nut President 45 insist on promoting China's business ZTE and Huawei.. Caution: Anything for a extra busk for him I am sure.. China continually persist on stealing U.S. IP (Intellectual Property). Any intel novice with half a brain will tell you allowing unfeterred Chinese business into the U.S. market without extreme vetting is crazy. Planting code in micro chips is a know practice of foreign governments. If they can get inside the U.S. infrastructure then it become a feeding frenzy for data mining. Huawei and ZTE much the same as it handled Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab — by giving U.S. tech companies classified briefings, according to Sen. Marco Rubio. The Florida Republican Thursday that American tech companies are nonetheless “prioritizing market access” over the national-security concerns associated with the Chinese telecoms. Rubio was cosponsor of a provision that passed the Senate this week to block a Trump administration deal to restore U.S. market access for ZTE. Chris Bing and Sean Lyngaas have more smart move.
'IT WAS INEVITABLE': The push to allow U.S. Cyber Command to go on the offensive is welcomed by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen, who says that nation-states targeting the U.S. need to pay a “fairly significant price” for their actions. Mullen, who led the joint chiefs from 2007-11, said he is comfortable with Cyber Command taking on these offensive measures as part of its rise to a unified combatant command.
