Business Insider: The arrest of a woman carrying a USB stick with malware into Mar-a-Lago exposes glaring flaws in the resort's security, as FBI reportedly investigates whether she is a Chinese spy
* A woman was able to bluff her way into Mar-a-Lago on Saturday while carrying four cellphones, a hard drive, and a thumb drive containing malware.
* Yujing Zhang passed Secret Service physical checks and proceeded into the property because Mar-a-Lago staff mistakenly thought she was the daughter of a member who shared her last name.
* The FBI is now reportedly investigating whether she is a Chinese spy.
* The episode has also exposed flaws in Mar-a-Lago's security system. The Secret Service issued a rare statement on Tuesday saying that it "does not determine who is invited or welcome at Mar-a-Lago; this is the responsibility of the host entity."
The arrest of a woman who hoodwinked her way into President Donald Trump's Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, with a thumb drive containing "malicious malware" over the weekend has exposed flaws in the club's security system, as the FBI reportedly launches an investigation into whether she is a Chinese spy.
The woman, identified as 32-year-old Yujing Zhang, entered the resort on Saturday after showing two Taiwanese passports to Secret Service agents and telling them she was a club member trying to use the pool, Secret Service Agent Samuel Ivanovich said in a Saturday court filing.
