The US Coast Guard has issued a second security directive warning that Chinese ship-to-shore cranes used widely in the United States pose a cybersecurity risk. Maritime Security Directive 105-5 calls on port operators to take “risk management” measures to mitigate the threats.

Built-in vulnerabilities for remote access and control of the cranes “combined with intelligence regarding China’s interest in disrupting US critical infrastructure, necessitate immediate action,” according to a portion of

China’s Computer Virus Emergency Response Center has released part three of a running series claiming that the US government is actually behind Volt Typhoon activity, rather than China.  The latest CVERC report, whose front page includes an oddly edited photo with the text “Lie to Me,” provides no new evidence of these claims and rehashes old, leaked US intelligence documents.  However, this CVERC report is not useless.  The CVERC report tells us more about China’s intentions than it does convin

Chinese-linked hackers have snooped around critical US infrastructure and have put themselves in a position to attack at “the right moment,” FBI director Christopher Wray ominously warned.  Speaking at the 2024 Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats, Wray underscored that the bureau and other federal authorities have been scrambling behind the scenes to counter the threat, which he said is “upon us now.”  “The PRC [People’s Republic of China] has made it clear that it consider

Humanoid robot called “Jia Jia” was created by a team of engineers from the University of Science and Technology of China and was presented at a conference in Shanghai at the beginning of 2017.  Jia Jia can hold a simple conversation and make specific facial expressions when asked, and her creator believes the eerily lifelike robot heralds a future of cyborg labor in China. This was five years ago and was billed as China’s first human-like robot.  2022 - The Brave New World is in full force.

In 1980, the British comedy group Monty Python created a video, “I Like Chinese.”  We all like Chinese; except the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) – who train, encourage and promote active hacking of many, many counties.  A Chinese hacking group allegedly "cloned" and deployed a zero-day exploit developed by the US National Security Agency's Equation Group (NSA) before Microsoft patched the Windows vulnerability that was being exploited in 2017.  For several years, researchers have suspected the C

Just how much US land does China own?  Excerpts by Libertas Bella (edited).

American-US prosperity has largely been built on a dual foundation: cheap land or expensive labor.  Until the US Immigration Act of 1965, Ronald Reagan’s Amnesty of 1986 and North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA) opened up the floodgates of immigration (both legal and illegal) this formula basically held firm.  When there was not enough labor, employers had to pay more rather than simply importing massive amounts

For years, Red Sky Alliance has been monitoring the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in both cyber activity and geopolitical matters.  The CCP has been and continues to be aggressive in their Belt and Road, long term, initiatives, or the China Maritime Silk Road.[1]  The CCP yearly train approximately 20,000 cyber ‘professionals’ in hacking type activities.  This permeates into the business and citizen cultures of the Chinese population.  China controls all business ventures inside its borders and
