State-backed Chinese hackers have been targeting U.S. critical infrastructure and could be laying the technical groundwork for the potential disruption of critical communications between the U.S. and Asia during future crises, Microsoft said Wednesday.

The targets include sites in Guam, where the U.S. has a major military presence, the company said.

Hostile activity in cyberspace – from espionage to the advanced positioning malware for potential future attacks – has become a hallmark of modern geopolitical rivalry.

Microsoft said in a blog post that the state-sponsored group of hackers, which it calls Volt Typhoon, has been active since mid-2021. It said organizations affected by the hacking – which seeks persistent access – are in the communications, manufacturing, utility, transportation, construction, maritime, information technology and education sectors.

In other news the Bloc Quebecois has recently come up with maps that make Labrador, Province of Newfoundland, part of Quebec. It has big hydropower. They seem to be learning from each other .......nobody has been allowed to call Taiwan not part of China for decades. I do not mean to imply Quebec separatists are human rights abusers like China and Russia .... I I just that they've made that map of Labrador being part of Quebec twice. They are up to no good.
