This is what you get for not castrating them 25 years ago.

Make internet a utility already, fuck.

This was probably the biggest intelligence coup of this century. Our intelligence agencies have extremely capable hacking capabilities. I’m sure they not only know the provider, they know the exact building down to the individual IP addresses of the PCs that data was transmitted to. If they get that, they will be able to trace all of the other activities that originated from that Chinese agency.

On top of that when the US was done it still shot it down and now has the hardware to analyze.
