If you look at the map in this story, several South Dakota sites were cited by the NSA as having cyber attacks directed at them by China.
Any thoughts on what secrets the Chinese were after? Because one of them looks to be in the vicinity of Wall Drug. And they may have stolen secrets about Jackalope manufacturing.
Isn’t Golden West Communications based out of Wall, SD? If there is a war wouldn’t they cyber attack our power grid, communications and infrastructure thus crippling the country?
Think of all the intellectual property that is stolen by Chinese state sponsored hackers from US Businesses, the investment in time and money, jobs and ripple affect across our economy besides the military secrets stolen. I wish we would get tougher on them and others across the world. A lot tougher!
It could also be them just probing to see how far in they can get. still a bit unsettling.
However they will NEVER get my SECRET wing sauce recipe. As it has the ULTIMATE in security.
