MSS Claims NSA Used 42 Cyber Tools in Multi-Stage Attack on Beijing Time Systems China claims the NSA led a 2022 cyberattack on its National Time Service Center using 42 tools.

Wild claim by Chinaโ€™s MSS- and classic info-ops timing. Even if Beijing has evidence, itโ€™s part of a broader narrative to paint the U.S. as the aggressor while downplaying its own global hacking campaigns. Cyber accusations are the new battleground! #CyberSecurity thehackernews.com/2025/10/mss-...

I've heard these arguments many times before..."You shouldn't own that much." So where do you draw the line? Sorry but this is just socialism. The politics of envy & self loathing. If you argue against the free market its bc you don't believe in freedom...

My wife and daughter were making gingerbread cookies, including one shaped like a dog. My wife said "Here comes the little doggie" when she was getting the dog-shaped one ready for the oven.

Who is "they" and what was "stolen"? Economies run in natural cycles of expansion & retraction. That was the end not only of the post WW2 boom but a major shift in how and where production was performed. Shift happens...

I remember having to do a budget in 6th grade in 1969. I used $10k as my annual income. My Dad just laughed. No one in the family had ever made that kind of money. "Well maybe if you go to college..." he chuckled...
