Fail to compete with China on innovation, just ban them on nation security!🥵
read up on Volt Typhoon and then tell me you want western countries outfitted with PRC infrastructure
"oh no! hackers learned how to hack in... public universities! The horror of PRC-sponsored hacking!"
what a dumb comment. Volt Typhoon have been discovered in critical infrastructure—not universities—across the world using lotl techniques. they are a group not hacking for espionage but hacking to directly sabotage their targets… i.e. shutting down electricity grids, telecommunications, water, etc.
also, they are not “PRC-sponsored”, they are the PRC, more specifically the PLA.
