     @graf @sandwich This is actually believable because they provided receipts and ways to find if you're compromised. This is completely different than when they were talking about Russian attribution for various attacks a few years ago and they wouldn't show any evidence at all just "trust us we're the government, we wouldn't lie"

     @Moon @graf @sandwich It's also believable because the US lets chinks into its essential cyberinfrastructure all the time and is doing so right now. Sorry, I mean "chink-Americans."

     @yockeypuck @graf @sandwich In Arizona they let straight up Chinese nationals into a federal Fusion center, who then disappeared back to China with nobody-knows how much data. Completely illegal, only US citizens with a clearance are allowed in them normally, there ought to be a complete paper trail of who allowed this to happen. But the entire thing got covered up so that nobody important would be embarrassed/punished but information about it leaked (nobody got punished anyway.)

     @tomey @graf @sandwich @yockeypuck I have read up on Chinese-American spying for the PRC accusations. I am convinced that some, maybe many of the reported "the US falsely accused an American of spying" cases are incidents where they couldn't prove the spying in court without revealing their detection methods; so the best they could do was expose it and the spy fled or was fired.

     @Moon @yockeypuck @graf @sandwich I'm reading up on this now and it seems like leadership at the Fusion Center were also definitely compromised. There are so many security controls that were flat out ignored that I find it hard to believe it was just incompetence.

     @tomey @graf @sandwich @yockeypuck Just to be clear my default perception is that Chinese-Americans are not disloyal. I have worked with many.

     @Moon @graf @sandwich @yockeypuck Yeah I also work with a lot of Chinese-Americans and I doubt any of them are spies lol.

     In this specific instance, it seems like Li is in fact a spy though. Chen was her asset and Greschner is co-opted. Sold his soul for some big contracts. This part made me perk up my ears:

     Greschner said he and Li were out of town and unaware of what happened until days later. Greschner made his way to Fan’s rental home and powered on the Hummingbird computers that Fan had left behind. The drives were so thoroughly erased Greschner said he had to reinstall their operating systems.

     Why would he re-install the operating system on a computer that will obviously become evidence in a spying / data exfiltration investigation? Seems like tampering and aiding a coverup to me. I wonder how that affected the chances of forensic data recovery.

     @tomey @graf @sandwich @yockeypuck why wasn't he prosecuted, I assume he wasn't since I never heard about it in any of the followup articles about how there's no chinese-american spies.
