The CCP [Communist Chinese Party] hackers utilized a vulnerability in the Microsoft software, and this was not due to ‘user error,’” Bacon wrote.

Who names their child Bacon? Also this article gets the name wrong, It's the Communist Party of China (CPC) not the "Communist Chinese Party" or whatever sinophobic nonsense he's telling his base. I think this is less about the actual vulnerability and more about "evil communists" living in this guy's head rent free that contribute to a very patriotic victim complex.
