Same country that thinks it's going to deter China through offensive cyber operations, btw.
Maybe the plan is to bamboozle China by having so much insecure infrastructure that they can't decide what to hack.

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

The most maddening thing is our best football this season was when we were playing on the counter, not playing endless horseshoes around the back in injury time chasing a win
“We’re not thick. We’ve been brought up the last 20 years seeing very good football, and when we see not-very-good football, we’re not saying we don’t like the philosophy, we’re saying do something to get it right.” #CFC v #LCFC - the Maresca tactics derby: www.nytimes.com/athletic/618...
Enzo Maresca and the ongoing debate – for both Chelsea and Leicester fans
Chelsea are fifth in the table, two points off third, and favourites for a trophy - but there is still debate over their new head coach

Interesting contrast. Encryption is either for everyone, or noone.
If big tech have a backdoor into the signal protocol (for example), then an adversary with sufficient resources will eventually too
