Tuya may be the China threat that beats Russia's ransomware attacks

Good morning from the great state of Tennessee!

The “Walking Bridge” in Chattanooga, where my wife Tracy and I got to know each other while in college.

Team Kitchen is currently on vacation but will return on August 16th. However, below is an article I co-authored with my AEI colleague Hal Brands. In it we discuss a new Chinese cybersecurity threat that could exceed Russian ransomware and even China’s Huawei. This is an important story and is free for everyone — so it would be really great if you shared it far and wide.

Thanks for being a subscriber and I look forward to getting back in the saddle soon!

    Whoa! Klon I hope you have the ears of the right people to some how prepare for what seems inevitable. Additionally, I can only sincerely pary that friends, family and colleagues of all of us who subscribe will pay attention. I do not come from the tech world, so my concern is purely from a concerned United States citizen perspective and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your efforts in this field.

    Hopefully someone will write firmware for Tuya, Eufy and other smart home devices to allow them to be used without the cloud component and needing to have an account. I know this has been done for several smart plugs to enable them to work with open source smart home automation software like Home Assistant.
