Let’s face it…
The internet by it’s very nature IS UNSECURE….
We now seem to see this across the computer systems of almost all of the United States Governments networks including Homeland Security….
One might question if the current American President even cares about this….
The incoming President says he’s gonna try to go back at this….
While many details remained unclear, the revelation about new modes of attack raises fresh questions about the access that Russian hackers were able to gain in government and corporate systems worldwide…

The Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration, which manages the country’s nuclear weapons stockpile, were also breached, officials said Thursday, joining a growing list of agencies reported in recent days to have been hacked by the Russians and that are central to U.S. national security and other core government functions. They include the State, Treasury, Commerce and Homeland Security departments, as well as the National Institutes of Health….

Purging the intruders and restoring security to affected networks could take months, some experts say, because the hackers moved rapidly from the initial intrusions through the corrupted software patches to collect and deploy authentic system credentials, making discovery and remediation far more difficult. Closing the digital back doors initially created by the Russians will not suffice because they appear to have stolen keys to an unknown number of official doorways into federal and private corporate systems, according to investigators at FireEye, a cybersecurity firm that also was hacked….

President-elect Joe Biden said in a statement Thursday that he is seeking to learn as much as he can about the breaches. As president, he said, he will work with allies to impose costs on those responsible for such actions. “I will not stand idly by in the face of cyber assaults on our nation,” he said.
Not one word from the current Commander in Chief about what basically is an act of war on the United States, but he is having a Twitter rant tonight about the late John McCain.
Cultists have found an odd cult to want to be a part of.
On a semi-related note in regards to Russia and their intentions towards America, it is not too late for Joe Biden to apologize to Mitt Romney for 2012.
And reinforcing anti-vaccine hysteria (when you don’t believe it and would hardly tolerate at home) is really a deadly act of war akin to spreading a biological or chemical weapon.
More than anyone here, CG requests apologies. shouldn’t he first make an apology to Keith? If anyone on this site needs to make an apology, I think it is him, and specifically make it to Keith.
It just gets worst….
Cisco Systems Inc. was compromised as part of a suspected Russian campaign that has roiled the U.S. government and private sector and left security experts across the country racing to assess the extent of the damage.
Some internal machines used by Cisco researchers were targeted, the networking equipment maker said. The company said its security team moved quickly to address the issue and that the “affected software” has been “mitigated.”…

Now the president is not just silent on Russia and the hack. He is deliberately running defense for the Kremlin by contradicting his own Secretary of State on Russian responsibility.

The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control. Russia, Russia, Russia is the priority chant when anything happens because Lamestream is, for mostly financial reasons, petrified of….

I wonder what is gonna come out about Donald Trump’s Russian connection after he loses control of the Presidency and the Intelligence community….
How match will shock us all…
There HAS TO BE some sort of connection….
This just grows by the day….
Microsoft Corp said on Thursday it found malicious software in its systems related to a massive hacking campaign disclosed by U.S. officials this week, adding a top technology target to a growing list of attacked government agencies….

Russian government hackers engaged in a sweeping series of breaches of government and private-sector networks have been able to penetrate deeper into Microsoft’s systems than previously known, gaining access to potentially valuable source code, the tech giant said Thursday.
The firm previously acknowledged that it had inadvertently downloaded a software patch used by Russian cyberspies as a potential “back door” into victims’ systems. But it was not known that the hackers had viewed the firm’s source code, or the crucial DNA of potentially valuable, proprietary software….
