"Terry #Liu, the #Chinese national arrested this week in #Maine, has been charged with illegally modifying the hardware of #CustomsandBorderPatrol computers at the #Maine-#Canada border. Liu, who described himself as a native of #Guangzhou, #China, was caught on camera breaking into #CBP computers and replacing processors and memory devices before re-inserting them into government networks." #corrupt #corruption #espionage #terrorism #domesticterrorism https://archive.ph/fKR5J "Liu also has previously ties to #Oklahoma, where he attended school, held a different government job, and attempted to start a cannabis business, according to records reviewed by #TheMaineWire. The #FBI affidavit released Friday morning describes Liu as a significant flight risk, claiming that the charges against him could weaken his affection for the government and the United States. The FBI also says Liu has significant means and capability to travel, and has a history of international travel. At his detention trial this morning, a judge ordered Liu held." https://archive.ph/hQb67#selection-510.0-521.374 https://archive.ph/iSQ7O "Terry Liu described himself as a native of #Guangzhou, #China, on #Facebook -- but he may have been naturalized as a U.S. citizen, since he posted an image indicating he voted in 2020. With the #ChineseCommunistParty, you never cease being a Chinese national." #CCP https://archive.ph/3F8Po#selection-754.0-757.259 "Photographs from the FBI affidavit show Liu making some unauthorized repairs to #DHS computers..." https://archive.ph/Ziymw#selection-516.0-516.1 "The FBI affidavit dances around the question. Terry Liu claimed at first that he was selling the parts he removed online for money, then he claimed he was making repairs because he was frustrated that CBP's contractor was not faster." https://archive.ph/SD4zK#selection-432.0-432.1 "It appears he came to the U.S. with his parents. He held a federal #GS13 job. It's not clear whether he held a clearance." https://archive.ph/9DnPc#selection-440.0-440.1 "Took over 6 months to do this??" https://archive.ph/OBUkB#selection-510.0-510.1 "Much longer from the point at which they first realized he was accessing computers without authorization." https://archive.ph/MwAjd#selection-424.0-424.1 "What were the replaced parts supposed to do?" https://archive.ph/gkyLl#selection-510.0-510.1 "The FBI affidavit doesn't say. Liu claimed at one point he was making repairs, but the parts he installed were slower and inferior to the parts he removed, and there's no indication that the computers he accessed even needed repairs." https://archive.ph/ubSYI#selection-424.0-424.1
