Random guy in suit comes to the NYT. "Yeah guys I want you again to say Russia."

Then goes to chief editor and hands him a suitcase.

You can tell by the way they wrote it that they want you to think the Trump admin blamed Russia but it's really just their own fucking opinion. Treason.

I think this could be another way for the Deep State to get at Trump.

If he tries anything drastic, they will say he is a National Security Threat, and they will use this as an example.

Fucked.

Official blog post from solar winds:

We have been advised this attack was likely conducted by an outside nation state and intended to be a narrow, extremely targeted, and manually executed attack, as opposed to a broad, system-wide attack.

can you elaborate? we deploy malware?

BarronVonSaltzburg26 8 points ago +8 / -0

Yes, STUXNET was released by us or the Israelis nearly ten years ago to sabotage Iranian nuclear program. The arsenal of malware has only gotten more advanced from that success.

A number of agencies will shortly inform Congress that they have been compromised. This is very big.

Now the US govt is undergoing what I’m told is the largest cyber breach in history and CISA is leaderless because of Krebs’s decision to get involved in an election. Bad.

CISA is not leaderless. They have an acting Director, Brandon Wales.

Well, this is exactly why we need to be careful.

Sadly, we no longer live in a time where we can just rise up, blow everything up, and take back America, because China and Russia will fuck us.

This is proof of that.

72 hour rule, Pedes. Remember how little we're really privy to. Keep your heads bolted on and watch and wait for more info. Poke around if you're good at that sort of thing and let us know if you see something interesting...

was anything stolen ? In war sometimes direct assaults are used for a distraction to come in the back door and leave some traps. Id guess this was about uploading something not downloading.

The Orion platform is a backbone for anyone using it. IT, telephones, security...this is BAD.

Is this "Who's On First?" One would assume systems are hacked to steal information. Sure, could be a distraction. It could be a million things. We could be hacking ourselves.

Sweden_wuz_Rite 1 point ago +1 / -0

There are a lot easier ways to steal information...A hack is going to be Caught at some point. Not claiming to know anything more than anyone else. Just my perspective.

giggitybooped 5 points ago +5 / -0

The government stuff is corrupt to the core. All the way up to our highest court it seems. What have these agencies truly been doing during this post-election period?

Little to nothing. These agencies have shown to run cover for corruption, fraud, and other crimes. Trump plays his cards very close to his chest, he probably has very little vested in these agencies he really needs or is worried about being released. Democrats and RINOs though...think of what they've been hiding from people.

Seth Rich laptop, Hillary emails, Biden laptop, etc. Dems have a lot more to lose.

SpaceTiger 3 points ago +3 / -0

Saw someone saying that one of the agencies in DHS is Financial Crimes. Don’t forget Hunters stuff is under investigation. That could be one angle.

Third thought, Bad Vlad is a friend and is enjoying the show

“Russians” “compromised” stuff according to the mainstream narrative.

Cue NPCs: shut it all down!

In reality, the CCP has compromised a lot for a while, they figured out where the compromise was, now they’re pulling the plug. Gives them time to do whatever needs to be done, then reconstruction.

Probably would never have happened if this dipshit didn't interject so much energy into the election.

They have internal notifications as well, but there’s not a great way or reason to issue notifications like this privately. It’s fir a commercial product so the general public should know about it.

A security tip: To prevent your stuff from being hacked, don't connect it to the internet. How hard is it to have government intranets?

Aren't spies able to access a data line using induction without actually tapping into the line?

2
acasper 2 points ago +2 / -0

We did it with undersea cables during the Cold War but doing that with data from the line itself is improbable. Bigger threat is compromised network hardware firmware.

NYC_4_Trump 1 point ago +1 / -0

I’m fairly ignorant in these matters - but I believe a nationwide intranet would be a logistics nightmare. You would likely need dedicate line connecting every computer.

Now, I’m sure there are systems that are intranet only. But those are few and far between.

I’m with you though: go with old school dumb devices or make sure newer devices have an air gap.

Solarwinds handles the monitoring - a little like the burglar alarm. Next would be another cyberattack while the monitoring is offline.

Lots of people getting woken up right now.

This is bc joggas are hacking road signs that State DHS Departments are operating rgearing muh mask up. It has nothing to do with Mil or Intel.

These directives do not apply to statutorily-defined “national security systems” nor to systems operated by the Department of Defense or the Intelligence Community. 44 U.S.C. § 3553(d), (e)(2), (e)(3), (h)(1)(B).

I read the directive and saw which agencies it was directing. I also saw the reports of digital-road-signage hacking over last several months. So, me. I'm yaw sauce.
