toolg Posted December 17, 2020 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

Gannan Posted December 18, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
