Section 702 Warrantless Spying!

China Exposes US “Volt Typhoon” [Section 702] Fabrication – for Warrantless Surveillance! (8.7.2024)

On April 19, the U.S. Senate approved the reauthorization with a vote of 60-34. This reauthorization extends the surveillance authority for two more years, allowing the U.S. government to continue collecting communications of non-Americans located outside the country without a warrant.

Data revealed that from May 2023 to January 2024, U.S. government-backed hacking organizations waged over 45 million cyber attacks — all authorized by Section 702 — against Chinese government entities, academies, scientific research institutes, enterprises and critical infrastructures.

Calling the U.S. government agencies the mastermind behind the “Volt Typhoon,” the report described such a move as the inevitable product of the international hegemonism that the United States strives to maintain.

Mao said the involvement of a certain company in the reports indicates that aside from government agencies, the U.S. is using additional channels to spread disinformation.

“This is not the first time — and certainly not the last time — for them to do so. Whatever their subterfuge, it will not change the fact that the U.S. is the champion of hacking,” she said.

Investigation reports released by Chinese institutions in September last year accused the U.S. of using 41 specialized cyber weapons to launch more than 1,000 attacks on China’s Northwestern Polytechnical University and stealing core technical data. The U.S. has not yet offered an explanation on the matter.

Mao said that Washington should immediately explain its own cyber attacks instead of diverting public attention with false information.
