Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

China remains the United States’ top military and cyber threat, according to a new report by US intelligence agencies that said Beijing was making “steady but uneven” progress on capabilities it could use to capture Taiwan.

China has the ability to hit the United States with conventional weapons, compromise US infrastructure through cyber-attacks, and target its assets in space, as well as seeking to displace the US as the top AI power by 2030, the Annual Threat Assessment by the intelligence community said.

I’m a cybersecurity professional, and I would personally place China and Russia as equal threats, but too bad our compromised government has masters to please. Of course, both of them pale in comparison to the massive insider threats occupying senior positions.

Ironic that this report was released today.

It also doesn’t say shit about Russia encouraging ships to drag anchors through the North Sea to cut telecom lines.

I was going to say the same thing regarding which threats are higher to the average American citizen, or even many government institutions.

In the next few years, I feel that my likelihood of being significantly harmed by state hacking and leaking of information is far greater from the American threats than a foreign power.

I'm a military satellite professional with ties to cyber for my programs. China is WAY higher of a threat from a military standpoint. From cyber, it might be equal. I'll trust your word on that.

Ability, yeah, but likelihood goes to Russia.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Why not both?

[–] hark@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

What a coincidence, the US remains the top military and cyber threat to China.

Aside from the domestics combined with the outsourcing of other countries.

Hopefully /s....

The USA is vying for that top spot this year...
