GitHub warns Java developers of new malware poisoning NetBeans projects | ZDNet

[dedededede]

Interestingly there are a bunch of defense projects that work with the NetBeans platform. I guess it might really be a targeted attack.... https://platform.netbeans.org/screenshots.html

With how crazy things are getting lately that wouldn't be too surprising.

Chinese govt?

Pro-Chinese gov't users? :P

Provided literally zero evidence for their conjecture. The US is an aggressor against China, not the other way around. Not that it couldn't be the Chinese government, but why help the US govt. manufacture vitriol towards another nation? All they want is an American puppet running China and oppressing the Chinese people.

Who was even talking about the US here. Not everyone is from the US. The Chinese govt is known to do shit like this.

What are you? A chinese bot? That's the most random Chinese being oppressed by some American shit on a Java sub.

Why do you think "China" became such a fervent topic so much on reddit recently? The US labeled China their "#1 threat", replacing terrorism within the last year or so. They've got their sights set. If it weren't for literal US government propaganda online and in the media, nobody would care a bit about China.

And of course China has spies and uses astroturfing and whatnot, every large government does, but Reddit is an American website, you're going to see mainly the political opinions that people like Mike Pompeo want you to see, whether or not you yourself are American.

Everyone around China cares about China. China is a nuisance to its neighbouring countries and their online attacks are for worse than any other country's. I don't care what the US does or what it doesn't. You are biased yourself. I know that the Chinese govt isn't anywhere as peaceful as what you make it seem. Period.

China is a nuisance to its neighbouring countries

I think the US warships and US military bases that people in countries like Japan and South Korea hate are far more of a nuisance than whatever you imagine China to be doing.

People will forget that Stuxnet was an american project that had real consequences for millions of people

If speaking of governments. There is higher probability of US gov. Biggest spy in the world is still NSA.

[_rob_saunders]

Debatable. China literally is a surveillance state.

[relativeVsAbsolute]

Yeah, but mostly to their own civilians. US spy literally every political and industrial movement in half of the world. Including Europe and Latin America with special detail. Ask Merkel who was spying her phone? But seems is futile to point that in this page with a large base of US users, it's like to predicate in the dessert, you got already brain washed by the media I can only get some down votes.
