NSA Cybersecurity Chief Says US Tech Firms Should Wargame Response if China invades Taiwan

Breaking Defense: US tech firms should wargame response if China invades Taiwan, warns NSA cybersecurity chief  

"You don't want to be starting that planning the week before an invasion, when you're starting to see the White House saying it's coming,” said NSA’s Rob Joyce. “You want to be doing that now.” 

  WASHINGTON — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year sent American tech firms scrambling to shore up their operations, especially those with workers in danger zones. But a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would have even more chaotic consequences for which businesses should start planning today, said the National Security Agency’s director of cybersecurity, Rob Joyce. 

“We had a lot of companies who had to had to endure hard decisions and take rapid action at the time of the invasion” in February 2022, Joyce said at the Center for Strategic & International Studies this morning. “Often they had people in Ukraine that were now going to be in a war zone and they had to think about getting them out. They had Russian or Ukrainian sysadmins [systems administrators], and they had to think about what privileges they wanted them to have. They had network segments in Russia or Ukraine and they had to think about whether they severed that or firewalled that. They had to think about whether they just pulled all the way out of their Russian businesses and what the implications were.”

China will take Taiwan next year and the "US" knows this. I fully understand why the "US" is doing this. I don't think the rest of the world even understands what's going on or what going to happen.

A convicted Jan. 6 rioter who expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler and studied high-profile killers was sentenced to three years in federal prison Thursday for possessing firearm silencers that he did not register with authorities.

A federal judge said Hatchet M. Speed, 41, a former Navy reservist who held a top-secret security clearance, betrayed “everything he pledged to protect” and posed a danger to society because of his extremist views on political violence and his stockpile of firearms.

Ryan plead guilty to one count of "parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol building."

Funny but none of the Kavanaugh protesters many of whom were paid never were charged with disrupting official proceedings inside a building.
