Another lesson in effective leadership from the brilliant minds who created the Clinton and Obama administrations. It’s bad enough when they allowed our enemies to destroy the nation as a whole, but in this instance, Communist China individually targeted Secretary of State Blinken and senior Biden administration officials. You would like to believe that they would possess some self-respect and dignity, but that is clearly non-starting in the presence of the enemy. People with knowledge of the situation claim that hackers connected to Beijing were able to access Nicholas Burns’ email account, which is thought to have compromised at least hundreds of thousands of unique U.S. government emails.
The campaign’s details are not entirely clear. The inboxes of Burns and Kritenbrink may have provided the hackers with information about U.S. planning for a new string of trips to China by senior Biden administration officials, as well as internal discussions about American policies toward its rival during tense diplomatic negotiations that have been constantly contested in recent months.
The second and fourth older members of the Biden administration, Burns and Kritenbrink, have both had their emails hacked, according to news reports. According to U.S. officials, the breach likewise compromised Gina Raimondo’s email account as secretary of commerce. Evidently, the Taiwanese cyberattack attempted to access Blinken’s account or his common sense but was unsuccessful. After learning that China had attempted to hack his emails the day before he was scheduled to visit Beijing, Secretary of State Blinken decided to proceed with the trip without making any people mention of it in order to preserve the photo opportunity. China’s spy balloon caused the previous trip schedule to be postponed, and Blinken decided to show the enemy that the Biden administration would appease them no matter how harsh they behaved. However, Blinken had something to say to China, so don’t be alarmed. A second senior State Department official said that Blinken” raised” the issue with Wang and” made clear that any action that targets the US government, US businesses, and US citizens is a major concern and we’ll respond properly.”
The official stated that neither they nor the US or Taiwanese response would” get into the specifics” of how the hack was brought up during Blinken’s meeting with Wang in Jakarta.
The secretary reiterated tonight that” we have continuously made clear that any action that targets the US government, US businesses, or American citizens is a serious concern to us and that we will take appropriate action to hold those responsible guilty.” Undoubtedly, a lot was” made apparent afterwards.” Since there is nothing to specify, there are no specifics. And business as common is going on internally. The hack, according to Rob Joyce, the cybersecurity director at the National Security Agency, was a” very traditional threat” that the U.S. government is constantly dealing with.
Joyce remarked,” It is China doing espionage.” That is what states and nations do. Zero outrage, zero response, and complete surrender are things that happen, so we must defend against it and push up on it. We’ve grown accustomed to treating China’s hacking as standard and doing nothing to stop it other than attempting to fortify our defenses. Protect Taiwan? We’re not yet going to stand up for ourselves.
You would like to think that they would have some dignity and self-respect in the face of the enemy, but that’s obviously a non-starter. Hackers linked to Beijing accessed the email account of the U.S. ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, in an attack believed by people familiar with the matter to have compromised at least hundreds of thousands individual U.S. government emails. You’d like to think they would show some dignity and respect, but that is a non-starter when the enemy is involved. Hackers linked to Beijing accessed Nicholas Burns’ email account, compromising at least hundreds of thousands U.S. government-issued emails, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The campaign’s contours are not fully known. The inboxes Burns and Kritenbrink, though limited to unclassified email, could have provided the hackers with insights into U.S. plans for a recent series of visits to China made by senior Biden Administration officials, as well internal conversations about U.S. policy toward its rival during a period of delicate diplomatic relations that has been repeatedly challenged in recent months.
U.S. officials have confirmed that Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo’s email account was also compromised in the breach. U.S. officials said that Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo was also affected by the breach. The Chinese cyberattack failed to penetrate Blinken’s account or his sense of common sense. Secretary of State Blinken found out about the hacking attempt a day before his trip to Beijing. He chose to proceed with the trip, without mentioning it publicly, so as not to spoil the photo opportunity. Blinken decided to show the enemy that the Biden administration would not be intimidated by any amount of abuse. He chose to go ahead with the trip without making any public mention of it, as he did not want to spoil the photo op.
The official stated that they would not “get in the details” of how the hack was discussed in Blinken’s meeting with Wang, nor would they describe the US or Chinese reaction.
It was “made clear” that a lot of things were “made clear”. There are no details because there is nothing to specify. Internally, it’s just business as usual. Rob Joyce, the cybersecurity chief at the National Security Agency said that the hack was a “fairly conventional threat” that the U.S. Government is always facing.
Joyce said, “It’s China that is doing espionage.” “That’s what nation-states are doing.” We need to defend it, we need a pushback on it, but it is something that happens. “Zero outrage and total surrender. China hacks us. We’ve become conditioned not to be shocked and to do nothing except try to bolster our defences. Taiwan, should we defend it? We won’t even defend ourselves.
