    What’s the pop ratio us vs China? Ball park 400mil vs 1.4 bil?

    That’s like us is 30% just for an easy number.

    So there’s like 1 us people to 3 or 4 China people.

    And somehow this sector is 1 to 50. That’s wild.

    Most people I know barely know how to use excel and they’d die before leaning xlookup. Let alone Kali or something to run some ops.

    I know a little about this world. Uncle in the Navy communications side. They have programs for this stuff. Marines can pick their field or whatever and they have a program too. Seems like a pretty simple fix to make those orders pay better if they really need bodies.

    Seems like some wild numbers to throw around. Like 50 to 1 feels a little China outnumber us type xenophobic.

      “To quantify what we’re up against, the PRC has a bigger hacking program than that of every major nation combined,” the FBI director said.

      “In fact, if you took every single one of the FBI cyber agents and intelligence analysts and focus them exclusively on the China threat, China’s hackers would still outnumber FBI cyber personnel by at least 50-to1.”
