The FBI has the power to arrest you tomorrow for all sorts of reasons. The Chinese government has the power to do what to you, again? Sneak in some propaganda in the ad feed? I’ll take the propaganda lol
The FBI has no power to arrest me, because I don’t live in America.
And China has the power to fuck over your infrastructure in case of a war breaking out. Or would you like to see what a Stuxnet could do to your nuclear power plants?
Jesus Christ. Can’t you just read between the lines for two minutes? Every one of us has some government agency that reigns supreme in our respective geographic areas. Just fill in the blank, please.
What does a nuclear power plant have to do with tracking my Google searches? You think TIkTok on someone’s phone is going to allow them to disable power plants? That’s much more of a stretch than what I was getting at. The FBI, and probably whoever you would deal with, are specifically buying personal data for this exact purpose–to build profiles on people and to use it against us for whatever purpose they desire.
News flash genius, they don’t need to hack my router to see my Google search history. Google will happily provide that to them.
The dangers of a man in the middle attack extend far beyond viewing my Google searches and I have more to fear from a foreign adversarial state actor infecting systems across my country than I do one allied with my own.
So, are you implying that the malware wasn’t involved in an attempted attack on critical infrastructure? Or do you seriously think the FBI persuaded a judge to let them go this as a front for doing something worse? Or are you just being edgy for the LOLs?
Chinese malware is probably preferable to whatever the FBI did with their access, and you’ll never find out exactly what it was.
Hot take. They’re both bad and you should use open source router firmware.
It’s not even that hard to run OpenWRT or buy boxes with it on it already.
Just bought a new asus router. Planning on putting openwrt on it.
Was interested in OpenWRT until I realised its not supported on my router (its reasonably new model (2022) maybe thats why)
Even better: build your own router with OPNsense.
Even better: keep your shit up to date regardless of what you use
Even better: let the FBI patch yo shit for you.
make your tax dollars work for you
X state malware is good, Y state malware is bad.
Shit take.
Malware is bad. X state trying to hack me bothers me less than mY state.

But at the end of the day, both are unwanted.

I would bet money that whatever the FBI is up to is less visible to the end user, and that is all anyone cares about anyway.
move to China if you really feel that way… live a real Chinese malware life…
At least he couldn’t post this bullshit from the concentration camp.
