    Source with much more technical info: https://research.checkpoint.com/2026/voidlink-the-cloud-native-malware-framework/

    Wild speculation: can this type of malware be used to infect Taiwan’s semiconductor infrastructure and prevent the self-destruction they have in place in the event of invasion?

        No reason to worry, it’s just conjecture on my part. I’m sure the experts in Taiwan will be able to safeguard their systems from this type of malware if they haven’t already now that the info on this specific type is public.

    “The framework appears to be built and maintained by Chinese-affiliated developers”

    Okay, so now we know this is a US 3-letter deployment (false flag?) meant to propagandize peeps into believing the ‘wevil wevil chinese’ narrative !!

    …this simplistic warmongering propaganda just gets more and more laughable…
