(TheConservativeTimes.org) – In a shocking revelation, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI may have been inside your computer as they have exposed a massive Chinese cyber espionage operation that infiltrated millions of American computers.
The DOJ and FBI successfully disrupted a Chinese state-backed hacking group known as “Twill Typhoon” or “Mustang Panda,” which had been conducting a global espionage campaign.
These communist cybercriminals planted malware into millions of computer systems worldwide, including thousands in the United States, with the nefarious goal of stealing valuable data for espionage purposes.
In a bold counterstrike against this digital invasion, U.S. authorities executed a court-approved operation in August 2024.
This initiative resulted in the mass eradication of malicious software from thousands of affected systems, which dealt a significant blow to Chinese hackers’ plans.
The malware, known as “PlugX,” was a sophisticated tool developed by the Chinese government to control and steal information from infected devices.
This cyber weapon has been in use since at least 2008, and a custom version tailored for the People’s Republic of China has been in use since 2014.
It is clear that America’s adversaries have been plotting against us for years, exploiting technological vulnerabilities to undermine national security.
Moreover, the FBI obtained nine warrants to delete PlugX from U.S.-based computers, affecting approximately 4,258 systems.
This operation was part of a broader effort to counter nation-state cyber threats, including those from Chinese and Russian hacking groups that seek to undermine American life.
While some liberal activists may protest the FBI’s actions, true patriots understand the necessity of such measures in the face of relentless attacks from opponents.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a left-leaning organization, raised concerns about the power of these warrants.
The Chinese threat extends far beyond the borders. Twill Typhoon has targeted numerous government and private organizations, including European shipping companies and Chinese dissident groups.
As Americans face this ongoing cyber war, the FBI continues to investigate Mustang Panda’s activities and urges citizens to use anti-virus software and keep their systems updated.
