Malware-packing Chinese lady who hacked her way into Trump's Florida Mar-a-Lago now faces federal charges

Yujing Zhang hacked her way into Donald Trump's private Florida club Mar-A-Lago with social engineering skills any self-respecting DEFCON or HOPE attendee would recognize.

Federal prosecutors allege in court documents the 32 year old Chinese woman lied to Secret Service agents, and told them she was a club member going to the pool.

According to the feds, at the moment she was lying to Secret Service agents, Yujing Zhang was carrying on her person:

Two Chinese passports Four (4!) cellphones One laptop One external hard drive One USB thumb drive containing malware. She had no swimsuit.

The Secret Service agents apparently believed her. She briefly gained access to the club during the President's visit there this weekend.

From the Associated Press:

Agents say she wasnt on the membership list, but a club manager thought Zhang was the daughter of a member. Agents say that when they asked Zhang if the member was her father, she did not answer definitively but they thought it might be a language barrier and admitted her.

Zhangs story changed when she got inside, agents say, telling a front desk receptionist she was there to attend the United Nations Chinese American Association event scheduled for that evening. No such event was scheduled and agents were summoned.

Agent Samuel Ivanovich wrote in court documents that Zhang told him that she was there for the Chinese American event and had come early to familiarize herself with the club and take photos, again contradicting what she had said at the checkpoint.
