State Govts. Warned of Malware-Laden CD Sent Via Snail Mail from China
Here's a timely reminder that email isn't the only vector for phishing attacks: Several U.S. state and local government agencies have reported receiving strange letters via snail mail that include malware-laden compact discs (CDs) apparently sent from China, KrebsOnSecurity has learned.
This particular ruse, while crude and simplistic, preys on the curiosity of recipients who may be enticed into popping the CD into a computer. According to a non-public alert shared with state and local government agencies by the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), the scam arrives in a Chinese postmarked envelope and includes a "confusingly worded typed letter with occasional Chinese characters."

Getting along with Russia, getting along with China and others is a good thing, not a bad thing. I’ve said that many times, for many years. Xi Jinping is a competitor. And a good competitor he is. And I think the word "competitor" is a compliment. Some folks think it’s China, they say, "oh, Chinese postmark!" I'll ask President Xi, is it China? I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.

You've also said "Oh Vladimir, don't cum in my mouth" many times, yet you still drop to your knees every time he asks.
