Chinese Spy Balloon Used US Internet To Communicate: Report

A US official revealed that the Chinese spy balloon, which traversed the United States in early 2023, used an American internet service provider to transmit periodic data related to navigation and location back to China, CNN reported.
This connection emerged as one of the means by which the US intelligence agencies were able to track the balloon's location and gather crucial information during its transit.

While the identity of the specific internet service provider remains undisclosed, CNN was informed that the balloon had the capability to communicate with Beijing as it crossed the US.
