The Pentagon is Unknowingly using Chinese Engineers, in China, to Maintain U.S. Defense Department Computer Systems!
– Microsoft’s “digital escort” model, intended to supervise these Chinese engineers, are often minimum wage former military personal, with very little coding experience.
– A ProPublica investigation revealed that the Pentagon’s leadership appears TOTALLY UNAWARE of this arrangement, despite Microsoft’s claims of disclosure.
– The systems managed by these engineers handle extremely sensitive data, potentially exposing the U.S. to cyber threats from China, our biggest cyber adversary.
– The U.S. government acknowledges the catastrophic potential impact of data breaches, yet continues to rely on this vulnerable setup.
– the data exposed to Chinese engineers would quote, “Catastrophic adverse effects on operations and individuals.”
– Previous Chinese hacks on Microsoft systems have compromised 22 organizations, including stealing 60,000 emails from the State Department.
– A 2024 cyber safety review board report highlighted ongoing vulnerabilities in Microsoft systems, showing clear concerns about national security.
