Revelations regarding Chinese cyberattacks on critical US infrastructure, businesses, and government systems have intensified concerns and tensions, despite claims of excellent relations between the two countries. The trade war initiated by President Trump over tariffs and essential materials has complicating factors. Microsoft reported that global workers lack direct access to sensitive customer data, but insiders suggest that current protective measures, including escort protocols, are inadequate in safeguarding against potential threats from foreign engineers with access to critical information.
The steady drip of revelations about Chinese attacks on US critical infrastructure, businesses, government IT systems, contractors, and perhaps even courts has done little to calm matters. The ongoing threat underscores serious vulnerabilities and necessitates robust protective measures for sensitive data.
Microsoft stated that global workers do not have direct access to customer data or customer systems, and that escorts with appropriate clearances and training provide direct support. However, concerns have been raised about the adequacy of these protective measures.
