Apparently China successfully hacked the FBI and had access to court-authorized surveillance orders. This puts the PRC in the position to detect investigations into its own espionage activity.

As an American, I applaud the Chinese for taking advantage of the moment. Obviously if we're allowed to kidnap and assassinate presidents, then the Chinese are allowed to cyber hack us. Maybe if the US government actually cared then this wouldn't have happened. China if you're reading this, please take out Trump. The American people would be in your debt.
techtornado@reddit
This is treason btw
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
I'm just trying to be like the patriots on January 6th calling to hang Mike Pence. Their treason got them pardoned. Ain't my president
techtornado@reddit
For China to take out the president/hack us?
Again, treason
Also, one-way flights are a thing now, you can freely leave America anytime you want…
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
LMAO that's not illegal, genius, first amendment still exists until you fascists take that away.
and let people like you continue to destroy the country and world? Y'all are more my enemy than any Chinese or Iranian.
techtornado@reddit
Treason - noun:
The betrayal of allegiance toward one's own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.
Again, you are committing treason by betraying your allegiance as an American citizen and expressing desires to aid China in overthrowing the government…
Also, be very careful with how you throw around the word “fascism” as people have given their lives to keep ol Jerry’s hand outside of America
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
Again, freedom of speech is the very first amendment, right before the second if you need some help.
My allegiance is to the constitution, not to Trump, which again, is not my president. He cheated and people like you committed treason January 6th and were pardoned.
14 characteristics of fascism is pretty spot on with the circus cult y'all are in.
techtornado@reddit
Citation needed on your claims
I have seen so many people quote the 14 things of “fascism” but avoid providing hard evidence to back each one of them up
Bring your A+ game to this discussion, I know actual fascism and Reddit craves it
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
Nope, I don't need to do anything.
America's fall? Trump does not equal America. Just like all the magats wishing Biden to die when he was in office.
I'm sure you do know all about fascism and how to deflect. Every one of the 14 points is spot on, I don't need to provide anything to a bad faith actor spreading disinformation.
It's all a game to you people. I'm ready for you and I'll bring my A game when it's actually needed.
techtornado@reddit
Оч комраде, ыоу чаве маде биг мистаке
I said the A+ game because you will be graded on WWII history...
I've seen the "14 elements of fascism" 7 times this week
Right now you get a D
Unsubstantiated claims - we have a framework but nothing to compare it to
Improper citations - as in none at all
Lack of evidence to support the argument as nebulous is not acceptable
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
Again, I don't have to prove anything to you.
Who is probably not even American if you can't use common idioms.
All that tells me is you're a propagandist spreading disinformation
Right now you get an F, comrade
I wonder when y'all will start chanting to hang JD Vance next
techtornado@reddit
So you openly admit to making things up and spreading rumors and misinformation?
I solicited you for evidence because the signal is not there for “fascism” in America
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
Why would I entertain your whataboutisms and deflections? You are a bad faith actor (I doubt you are even American) only here to sow mis/disinformation. I keep giving examples and you just ignore and deflect. I'm not spending any amount of time trying to have a debate with people like you. Hillary was right when she call y'all deplorables
techtornado@reddit
I am American, but my accent confuses many
I ask for cited evidence because of the misinformation going around…
Stop being intellectually dishonest/wasting my time and prove your claim to be true
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
Cool, doubt that.
Spread by people/A.I. like you.
You replied to my comment first. You can stop replying at all and save us both the time.
techtornado@reddit
Rude,
You spoke treason, it had to be addressed
I seek truth as nobody benefits from lies
You have thrown the gauntlet of “fascism” but refuse to elaborate further…
I solicit you to elaborate
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
LMAO and have you not even read and dispute every single point which there are THOUSANDS. I'm living life, bro. People can read the 14 signs and decide for themselves. I have no desire to convince you. Kindly eff off

What a shame, too bad they felt the need to spy on everybody and have it stolen. How convenient.
AutomaticDeer2833@reddit
I get that we all like to talk shit... but the hack had nothing to do with Kash Patel...
UND_mtnman@reddit
Didn't he fire a bunch of cyber security people?
AutomaticDeer2833@reddit
And that is directly responsible for getting hacked? Not a good look but this would be on whoever developed the system initially. Which probably would have been under the direction of a previous president.
agent_flounder@reddit
Security has to be maintained. It isn't a one and done. You have to be applying patches in a timely manner, giving annual awareness training, actively monitoring your systems for suspicious activity, and much more.
cyanescens_burn@reddit
I vaguely recall some getting DOGE’d and/or getting the boot because they were assigned to the mar a logo classified files caper.
GreatBigJerk@reddit
Okay, Kash.
Th3_Admiral_@reddit
The buck stops anywhere but here I guess.
hauntedhivezzz@reddit
One thing I don’t hear people discussing is that it seems like what was leaked from Patel’s emails wasn’t that bad - so is it possible that Iran is actually blackmailing him with more sensitive info? Is it not at least investigating, seeing as how he is the head of the FBI?
Independent-Bug-9352@reddit
It's almost as if Trojan Orange intentionally lowered the guard, cut cybersecurity protocols, and ousted the most experienced staff intentionally to sell or give away state secrets... Or something.

Cool. Maybe China will release the Epstein files.

All they needed to hack was Kash Patels password
Which was password

China, you don't have to hack the FBI. Flock doesn't even put passwords on some of their consumer grade Amazon cameras.

FelixMumuHex@reddit
Sounds like you haven’t either
ElonTrmpIVFloveChild@reddit
Most third world countries you'll see people missing limbs from decade old land-mines(from the glorious USA of course). When you are in the deep south and see limbless people, it's because they don't know how to keep endless processed unhealthy greased up cheeseburgers out of their mouth and have to lose a limb from diabetes. Being obese aint the flex it used to be
futilehabit@reddit
We have the healthcare costs, crime rates and imprisonment rates of a third world country.
AlarmingAffect0@reddit
Most US citizens don't even have a passport. I myself have been to third world countries though. Have you been to Georgia?
Suspicious-Slide-954@reddit
Third world country? Hmmm. You use that word but I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Ok-Aspect9915@reddit
I think you don’t know what it means.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_World
If we pull out of NATO we will literally, officially, be a third world country.
anachronicnomad@reddit
I have shaken hands with literal Zembezi tribesmen whose only connection to modern society is GPS tracking for their cow herds if they stray too far into rural outskirts of towns, that are more sanitary and well-spoken than the lower third of the US.
The US, by virtue of no longer being a free and fair democracy (if we ever were to begin with), no longer participating in the international free market, a judiciary captured by the syndication of corporations alongside religious organizations, and having a federal armed force which answers only to the president, is by definition NO LONGER A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY. Last I checked, Donald Trump wasn't a commie, so yeah, that would make the US a Third World Country.
My measurement of economic development of a place, is how many functioning public shitters they have, with plumbing. Lots of places in the US at this point, you're better off just trenching a hole in the ground and hope nobody's looking.

I wonder if China got the unredacted Epstein files too. I mean, it seems like something that would give a strategic advantage and I would be surprised if state-level hacking teams weren’t actively trying to get them (or even random hacktivists or blackmailing rings).
IrishSnow23@reddit
Was looking for this before I posted the same! We can only hope they did and hope they release it.
radictionrj@reddit
Hope they did
IrishSnow23@reddit
Yeah...definitely unexpected when they eliminated all those teams to make them help ICE instead...the level of incompetence in this administration is staggering...

How did the Chinese guess his password on the first try (k4shM0n3yFBI#1)?!?
I bet you he emailed himself login credentials and starred it as a favorite at the top of his inbox, with the title ”Passwords and logins”
PlaneTension1579@reddit
Kind of wild that the bigger issue isn’t data theft, it’s exposing investigative intent. If this is true, this basically gives the "bad" people a literal roadmap of what's being monitored and what's not? Which is arguably worse than losing the data itself.
KahlessAndMolor@reddit
While it does give China access to FBI knowledge about their own investigations, it also potentially gives them detailed information about the leadership of anti-government groups that are prominent enough to warrant attention. So, if they want to stir up trouble by funding anti-government movements, they know who to call.

Forgive me for my intoxicated thoughts but for fuck sakes man. This country is the laughingstock of the world and it’s embarrassing. Everything we were told/taught was a lie and they keep this pathetic facade up. Like come on just wrap it up before the “99%” execute you for your corruption and disloyalty to this country. Our government are literally the insecure bully of the world and they wanna keep this act up until they’re treated with their own treatment.

They cannot keep you safe, they cannot keep the data they demand to have on you safe - but you must give up all anonymity on the internet, you must be logged in to their digital dragnet, they must have all information on you.

I’d be surprised if state-level hacking teams weren’t actively working to get that.
The question is then what’s their play? Use it as leverage over politicians when it comes to the trade war or any other policy that might affect China?
Or go wild and just post and mirror the whole set of files for the world to view, and see where the dust settles?
Or something sinister like post it for everyone to see, but embed malware into the files to get more root access to systems all over the world?

The "Incompetence" Checklist:
• The Irony: They want to see everything we do, but they can't even see who is in their own house.
• The Delay: They didn’t even notice "abnormal log activity" until weeks after the intrusion began.
• The Excuse: They're calling it a "major cyber incident" and a "sophisticated" attack.
Translated: "We left the digital window open and someone actually climbed through it." I
It’s one thing to fail at protecting private citizens; it’s another to let a foreign adversary walk off with the blueprints of your own surveillance state.
If the FBI can’t secure the tools they use to spy on people, maybe they shouldn't have them in the first place.
