Stephanie Carvin, an associate professor at Carleton University and a former national security analyst, says the hack demonstrates just how large and well funded Chinese espionage operations directed at the West are.

As people's lives and relationships have increasingly shifted online over more than a decade, digital records such as text messages, emails and Instagram posts have become a mainstay of divorce and family cases, to the point where Ontario courts have had to impose limits on how much can be filed, experts say.
For some, the very idea of ditching their smartphone might seem impossible, but for MacNeil, a Grade 11 student at École secondaire publique De La Salle, it had to be done.
"I could feel a huge addiction to my smartphone and social media," he told CBC. "I went to the extreme of getting rid of my [smartphone] completely, and that's what brought me to a flip phone."
So after a year or so, my Galaxy Fold 4 is starting to go, or rather the folding screen is. There's a protector on it meant to spread the force of folding the screen so it doesn't crease, and that's starting to separate from the actual screen. It's repairable, but that's a send out repair, if'n I had insurance, they'd likely send me a replacement phone so I wouldn't have to wait, but I don't have insurance, and sometimes the repaired phones don't last even this long, so... Yeah, need something else I guess. And it's not the only problem, it's just the newest and largest, we've been having some charging issues, a weird thing where I unlike the phone and get a copied to clipboard message, and that's when the phone will wake, sometimes it won't or it'll hang going to the home screen. Yeah, I'm not impressed, and then there's the amount of extra software and shear overload of features built into the phone, and while I don't hate it, I love the tablet mode, I'm not real impressed.
So, brand thoughts, I'm all ears, but here's what I got...
iPhone, nope, been using Android since 2.x, and iPhone is just different enough to drive me nuts. Sure, I could learn to use and like it I'm sure, but I prefer to just hit the ground running.
Google, I don't have much love for Alphabet, I'd have nothing to do with it, but that's not an option, but I'm certainly not buying one of their devices
Samsung, see above, software is something of an issue, they're still being stupid in this area, though it's not as big a deal
Motorola, this one is high on my list, I've had a few of their devices, and my opinion of them is the same as that of my Lenovo computers, they won't blow you away, you won't be singing their praises to the high hills, but you will get something that will work every time, just a solid very average device
Beyond those, who's out in the US? Hisense makes an e-Ink phone that I would love, but they aren't available here AFAIK. TCL was playing with an interesting screen that had many of the properties of e-ink in colour, but those seem to have gone away.
So, any recommendations from y'all?
“In Canada and other developed countries, scores in reading, math and science are on a steady decline,” said Maharaj.
“When [scientists] look at what’s contributing to this, the use of phones and digital technology is a significant factor.”
Cris Rowan, a B.C.-based occupational therapist, added that phone use is impacting children's brain development and impacting their focus in class.
“Research is showing that grades are directly related to the number of times you open a text.... Even having that phone on the desk is hugely affecting kids.”
Both experts say cellphones in class are also likely contributing to an ongoing decrease in kid and teen mental health.
Experts also say that cellphones in class have a negative impact by increasing opportunities for cyberbullying.
