I remember (i think Dish and Eng) saying they had friends or family in the government that warned of an impending national lockdown. This is some scary stuff from the Chinese I just read about.
Essentially piecing together info from the Office of Personnel Management hack in 2015 and the Equifax hack to send text message dis-information promoting the 'national lockdown'.

A Political risk newsletter I receive. It's emailed so I don't have anything to post.
In the times it was reported that the disinformation was via fake text. This just went one step further than I had seen.
Here is a summary of the prior reports.
I posted it more because I the link below sounded like what they had reported (again I cannot remember the poster that had received the info)

Hack / Texts aren't covered specifically here, but the DOD is maintaining a rumor control page, which mentions the National Guard information, and may other rumors.

You're wrong. Putin would never do this.
Great leader.
The next battle. Britain starting to do something.
