@newsguyusa@flipboard.social Read it, and the Reuters report quoting Proofpoint. But, notably, the report provides no facts that support the headline’s click bait origin inference: that TA419 is “China linked” or “China aligned”. The pattern in the targeting by TA419 taken alone are not unique to a Chinese sponsor given how even corporate actors are behaving of late. #factchecking #readcritically #thinkcritically
