toolg Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Huge news nobody wants to talk about: The US Federal government was a target of a massive cyberattack, affecting several agencies, likely perpetrated from Russia. Foreign agents have access to US emails/systems... How much was breached? How will US respond?
toolg Posted December 17, 2020 Author Posted December 17, 2020 Cybersecurity is another priority for Biden as he takes office in January:

That's....not good. And just a month ago, Trump fired the guy who oversaw the agency in charge of cybersecurity because he wouldn't toe the fascist line. Smart move, moron. 1
we_gotta_believe Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 We got F'ed up. Some form of retaliation is in order. 2
Paul852 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 We need to get the smart people back in charge.....quickly. 3
ToastJenkins Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Biden with the predictable cliche he will do nothing

I like joe, but I would not call him smart by any measure. Hopefully he has enough common sense to put smart people in the right places though (something we have been lacking for a while).

paco Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Clearly the Russians are pissed because Biden won and they no longer have one of their agents as president. 1

Dave Moss Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Unrelated to hacking, but I was laughing about this 2
Dave Moss Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 This reminds me of when I got hacked on the old board because my password was eagles 1
Gannan Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Say it with me kids, "Russia is the F’n enemy”. The feckless coward in chief will do nothing. Biden needs to do something when he takes over. He won’t go as far as I want. Banging his shoe on the podium of the UN telling them we will bury them, and letting Ukraine join NATO would be a good start. Obviously he won’t do that, but sanctions would be a good start. 4

I've been saying for a while now, if anyone wanted to hit us, now would be the time. We have one of the dumbest people in the country playing President, who doesn't even care about doing the actual job or the country as a whole and the people who would know how to respond have all long since been fired. 1
