These greedy naive tech fools are placing millions at risk if WWIII breaks out and the MSS have access to U.S military communication. Wake the F up America. For the love of G-d this deserves action. No intelligence agency in the world can overcome stupidity. Is Bill Gates still CEO over there? MSN. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon was "looking into" a cloud computing program run by Microsoft utilizing foreign workers from China, which was criticized this week for potentially lacking adequate safeguards, which could provide the CCP easy access to classified defense data and systems.
A ProPublica report released Tuesday accused Microsoft of allowing China-based engineers to assist with Pentagon cloud systems with inadequate guardrails in an effort to scale up its government contracting business.

In response, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., sent a letter to Hegseth Thursday asking for information and documents about the program, including a list of all Department of Defense (DOD) contractors that hire Chinese personnel to provide maintenance or other services to DOD systems, a list of subcontractors that hire Microsoft's American-born "digital escorts" required to supervise foreign computer scientists while they work on DOD systems and documents on the training these supervisors receive to identify suspicious activity.

I do. If Canada was allowing Chinese engineers in China to access our sensitive defense capabilities, even our docile citizens would be livid. Wake the hell up!
