Beijing-financed hackers thumb nose at Uncle Sam CHINA SWIPES $20M IN U.S. COVID RELIEF!
BRAZEN Chinese hackers stole at least $20 million in COVID-19 relief funds from U.S. government agencies just three years after the communist nation’s scientists unleashed the killer virus on the world!
America’s Secret Service reveals a shadowy hacking organization known as
APT41 — which is financed by the Beijing government — plundered unemployment insurance accounts and Small Business Administration loan funds in a dozen states. Congress earmarked the cash to keep hard-hit citizens and businesses afloat as the pandemic ravaged the nation in March 2020 creating massive unemployment and ultimately killing more than 1 million Americans!
Chinese bureaucrats insist the health crisis began after the virus was transferred to humans from a bat sold at a Wuhan wild meat market.
But as The National ENQUIRER was the first to report, COVID-19 was actually a bioweapon developed at the top-secret Wuhan Institute of Virology. Intelligence sources say the killer bug escaped into China’s own backyard — after agents were dispatched to infect America.
Sources say the APT41 attack is just the latest example of Beijing’s ongoing secret war on the U.S., which includes military, scientific and business espionage.
U.S. Justice Department officials openly accuse the hackers of being an arm of the Chinese Ministry of State Security, the Asian nation’s civilian intelligence agency. The group has purportedly penetrated more than 100 companies inside the U.S. and around the globe.
Experts say the $20 million rip-off is just the tip of the iceberg!
“It would be crazy to think this group didn’t target all 50 states,” says Roy Dotson, the Secret Service’s national pandemic fraud recovery coordinator.
Another intelligence source adds: “The irony here is inescapable. China creates COVID-19 and then has the gumption to raid accounts set up by Uncle Sam to help struggling Americans. They’re thumbing their nose at us!”
