@unusual_whales This is the same QScan and QTRouter story we already covered earlier today, the DOJ and FBI seizing domains tied to the Nanjing based hacking firm QTFY, whose victims included NASA, the Federal Reserve, DOJ, and the Senate. Same event, just a shorter framing this time.

@unusual_whales Wipe my student loans while they’re in there

The bigger story is not that the U.S. disrupted one hacking operation, it is that the campaign reportedly reached NASA, the Federal Reserve, the Senate and critical infrastructure, with activity dating back years. Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming a national-security contest over persistent access. Taking infrastructure offline is a win; finding out how attackers stayed inside sensitive networks for so long is the more important question.

@unusual_whales Wonder if they used $PLTR x.com/StonkcastShow/status/209…

@unusual_whales No one believes anything this pedo administration says. x.com/c0nnectingd0ts/status/20…

@unusual_whales They got into NASA, the Fed, DOJ, and the Senate. FBI just pulled the plug on the two toolkits they used to hide in normal internet traffic. That’s a real hit not China is offline

@unusual_whales They wanted the Nvidia numbers early most likely

@unusual_whales How is this even possible? 🤔 Trump keeps telling us Xi is such a great guy. Maybe China’s hackers just forgot about the beautiful friendship 🙄

@unusual_whales US officials report disrupting a China-linked cyber operation on government networks.

@unusual_whales US authorities have announced the neutralization of a sophisticated hacking campaign linked to Chinese state actors, which targeted both government agencies and essential infrastructure within the country.

@unusual_whales Chinese state-linked hackers reportedly breached DOJ, NASA, the Federal Reserve, and the Senate. How does an operation touch that many high-security agencies before it gets caught?

@unusual_whales cyber risk keeps moving from software line item to infrastructure risk

@unusual_whales Disrupted like AT&T did by physically cutting the cable?

@unusual_whales geopolitical beef with a wifi connection ??

@unusual_whales The headline is the breach. The bigger signal is persistence. If critical infrastructure is the target, the real contest isn’t stopping one operation. It’s how quickly defenders can close the gap before the next intrusion.

@unusual_whales There is always an insider helping. Find them!!

@unusual_whales More details on how the hackers infiltrated U.S. government networks are expected. What we know so far:

@unusual_whales Sure they did. x.com/BpCollectionArt/status/2…

@unusual_whales The battlefield isn't just physical anymore. Government networks, power grids, banks, telecoms—everything is becoming a target

@unusual_whales NASA, Fed, DOJ, Senate… the list of targets keeps growing. Persistent threat.

@unusual_whales Another day, another China-linked cyber op targeting critical US infrastructure. Glad they disrupted it.

@unusual_whales Something that probably been going on for 10 years, but "breaking news"

@unusual_whales Gy

@unusual_whales Of course…

@unusual_whales Trump: "I respect Xi"

@unusual_whales Kudos!

@unusual_whales Hasn’t Trump always said that China is a good friend? What’s going on now? It’s hard to understand.

@unusual_whales If it’s critical infrastructure, why does it feel like we’re always playing defense and never catching up?

@unusual_whales How many government networks do you get before someone notices

@unusual_whales With a landslide in nepal?

Cybersecurity Wake-Up Call This is a major reminder that cyber warfare is no longer a future threat—it is an active geopolitical battlefield. Disrupting the China-linked operation is significant, but protecting government networks and critical infrastructure requires continuous investment, intelligence sharing, and stronger cyber defenses.

@unusual_whales In other words they reactivated their expired norton antivrus software

@unusual_whales Seems like China has better access to the federal government than most members of Congress.

@unusual_whales Was it ERIC and FANG FANG? x.com/MagaViralReelz/status/20…

@unusual_whales like solarwinds but caught before real damage spread

@unusual_whales and used boxcutters to vandalize the reflecting pool

@unusual_whales Fun time to remind people we shut down the organization that protects us from this.

@unusual_whales They hit government networks and critical infrastructure before anyone admitted it. I ship assuming the perimeter is already compromised. Ambitious security does not wait for the press release.

@unusual_whales As usual, not a news worthy

@unusual_whales To be clear, the federal reserve isn’t a government entity.

@unusual_whales Sure they did. Sure. x.com/BanksSpanks69/status/209…

@unusual_whales I actually partially documented it through Claude.

@unusual_whales lol

@unusual_whales At a certain point, somebody has to ask: is the government lying or are they really that stupid that they get hacked every day?

@unusual_whales Now they must punish them big.
