"Report: Chinese Spy Balloon Navigated Using US Internet Provider's Service"

US intelligence officials tracked the balloon and gathered messages it sent during its journey across the US. Despite China's claims of the balloon being for meteorological purposes, US officials believe it was collecting intelligence on military sites. The incident has highlighted concerns about foreign surveillance and the use of American technology in such activities.

"Report: Chinese Spy Balloon Utilized US Internet Service for Communication and Navigation"

A Chinese spy balloon that traversed the U.S. earlier this year reportedly used an American internet provider for communication with China, according to Biden administration officials. Despite the internet provider's denial of service usage by the spy craft, officials indicated that the balloon employed burst transmissions for data collection. The Biden administration sought a secret court order to monitor the balloon's communications, while China maintains that the balloon was a weather research vessel that veered off course. The incident has raised concerns about China's use of commercial internet providers for espionage and the U.S. government's handling of the situation.
