Zoom Exec Charged With Conspiring With Chinese Government

Description

Xinjiang Jin worked as Zoom’s chief liaison with Chinese law enforcement and intelligence services. Now he's facing federal charges for sharing user information and disrupting video calls at the request of the Chinese government. Xingjiang Jin allegedly schemed to leak user data and squash video meetings discussing the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre earlier this year. With co-conspirators, he fabricated incriminating evidence against US-based hosts of these memorials. He would log into their meetings under fake accounts with profile images related to terrorism or child porn, which he'd use to justify suspending their accounts. He’s charged with conspiracy to commit interstate harassment and unlawful conspiracy to transfer a means of identification. According to Gizmodo, the Justice Department’s case races a fresh wave of concern about Zoom’s security. The company spent the summer months muzzling Zoombombings and dragging its feet on end-to-end encryption.

Images of London law office of alleged Chinese agent

British security service MI5 has warned the UK Parliament an alleged Chinese agent has attempted to interfere in UK politics. The agency says Christine Ching Kui Lee - who has law offices in London and Birmingham - "established links" for the Chinese Communist Party with current and aspiring MPs. She also gave donations to politicians including Labour's Barry Gardiner, who received over £420,000 from her over five years. Gardiner says he has reported all donations to MI5. China dismissed the warning by British security services, saying it was the result of watching "too many 007 movies". IMAGES
