Cyberattack/Ransomware Thread

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?

Energy Department and the agency that handles US nuclear stockpile were among those hacked.

 

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.

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).

Biden with the predictable cliche

he will do nothing

I don't know about that but one thing I do know is he won't hold the door open with a smile while they walk through. Like the last guy.

Clearly the Russians are pissed because Biden won and they no longer have one of their agents as president.

Or just taking advantage when we're most vulnerable. Thanks to their agent of course.

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.

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.

So then we can expect a huge cyberattack from China 4 years from now?

He's missing the capital letter though. If it was Maga2020! it would have been impenetrable.

In terms of cyber threats China is the biggest threat and has been for a very long time.

If Trump is a Russian agent, is Biden a Chinese agent?
