Looks like Mozilla is just relying on Someone Else's (in this case, 404 Media's) coverage of this

a new investigation by 404 Media has revealed that ShadowDragon, a U.S. government contractor, is exploiting publicly available data from websites and services like Etsy, Reddit, Tinder, and Duolingo — to fuel mass surveillance programs for U.S. government agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

And to my eyes it looks like they're relying on Someone Else (you) to petition them, although to be fair they do say:

Mozilla will directly pressure 30 companies, chosen based on their size, the volume of user data they hold, the vulnerability of their users, and the value of their data to ShadowDragon — especially platforms where users share sensitive information, including personal communications, affiliations, political speech, geolocation, and immigration status.

... Which is good, whatever directly pressuring means.

I've heard of whataboutism, but this is whatifism. "What if China did something bad in the future?" Then it would be bad.

The actual article title is "What the Czech-China cyber clash means for your security and privacy" - and the answer for privacy is "literally nothing." The source looks cooked, it's a site for sexpats, and there is no attributed author.

If you want to contribute to privacy discussion, why not wait for something exceptionally interesting to come around? Or, if you just want to push a universal "hey guys, China is bad" narrative (which I assume all of us already know), can you at least wait for an article with a little more meat on its bones?

OP has a history of posting nothing but anti-China stories (previously, previously) and tends to do a poor job of selecting them IMO).

tl;dr

This cyberattack didn’t expose personal data but shows ongoing risks to Czech digital security.

No privacy impacted, but the article did use the word "privacy" near the title.
