MG1103 This may be a very naive question but….is it really that big of a deal that their website was shut down? Won't they just create a new one? (or they probably have plenty of backup sites to migrate to when this sort of thing happens?) Reply

Bigshrimp You really can't trust anything coming out of the regime. They lie like it's the truth with every single thing they release to the news. Real independent investigative journalists are the best source for any legitimate news that you can find. They claim this has been going on since 2018! I wonder who was in power during that time. I just can't… Reply
DS426 The investigation into the group began as early as 2019, when the FBI looked into a system intrusion at NASA related to the CVE-2019-11510, which was subsequently patched. CVE-2019-11510 Description In Pulse Secure Pulse Connect Secure (PCS) 8.2 before 8.2R12.1, 8.3 before 8.3R7.1, and 9.0 before 9.0R3.4, an unauthenticated remote attacker can send a specially crafted URI to perform an arbitrary file reading vulnerability . – NIST NVD Pulse Secure Pulse Connect Secure ? Lol, must be SUPER Secure since Secure is used twice! 🤣 Reply

Gururu Funny how with just about every other administration such news would not be chalked off as either a blatant lie or a simple "look at me mommy!" moment. Reply
alrighty_then Didn't know China ever admitted to any hacks, even behind closed doors…that's interesting. Makes me think they were signaling they could do more of the same and trying to use it as leverage in some talks…otherwise they'd just flatly continuie denying everything despite the evidence because that's their MO.
