   U.S. Department of Defense: Cyber Command Chief Discusses Challenges of Getting Intel to Users
   A generic-looking press release revealed additional information about the Salt Typhoon hack:

   • "the Chinese government led hack aimed at North America and Southeast Asian targets."
   • "The hack — discovered by Microsoft"
   • "is just one part of China's global cyber program"
   • The agency did send out cyber security advisories in 2022 "that laid out this exact series of things that we had observed overseas,"

   I don't know about you, but this is my first time hearing confirmation of Southeast Asian victims from a government official, that it was discovered by Microsoft (obvious in hindsight), and that there were early indicators and warnings (I&W) since 2022. cc: @nattothoughts

     @GossiTheDog yeah, that threw me for a loop because I don't think anyone took credit. Wall Street Journal first broke the story back in like August, and I thought "Salt Typhoon" was an arbitrary USG threat actor name choice.
