Hackers with ties to the Chinese government stole at least $20 million from U.S. taxpayer-funded COVID-19 relief benefits in more than a dozen states, the Secret Service reports.
The hacking group APT41, known as "the ‘workhorse' of cyberespionage operations that benefit the Chinese government," looted pandemic-related Small Business Administration loans and unemployment insurance funds, NBC News reported Monday. The theft is the U.S. government's first publicly acknowledged incident of pandemic fraud linked to foreign, state-sponsored cybercriminals.

Lt Col Charlie Brown: In today's chaotic political discourse, one cannot read something from either the left or right leaning journalists and/or their companies...without asking questions. Having said that, I believe that China is taking advantage of the "soft" left approach to our Country's security... China takes two steps forward then one backward, to keep the U.S. at bay... The are encroaching on everything we do including buying up U.S. Land!!! There goes our bread basket!!!

While that may be PO1 William "Chip" Nagel this information is from the Secret Service. And the report started on NBC news which leans left.

One of those stories that would never happen if the source didn't lean right.
