So was that Krebs guy who President Trump fired for saying "this was the most secure election in history" in charge of this?
Either way he looks like a total asshole now
Yup.
In case you needed another reason not to believe that this was not the most secure election in American history...
Holy Shit
425 of the fortune 500s?
Holy fuck. If that's true, then China would have enough dirt on America's most powerful CEOs to attempt something crazy!
Like, blackmail them into.. initiating the communist agenda... at every level of..... every institution.............
shit.
Legit breach .... Months and months of it
Now, only if they could overturn the fake votes and help trump win.... just dreaming here folks.
Word on the street is China has been saturated with stolen US government and company info since the Obama administration.

see the tweet...but we need proof?
so does this mean trumps plans could have possibly been exposed to the enemy?
Trump has never used a computer iirc. Doesn’t even do email. So yeah, he’s in good shape on this.
that's good. but I am worried about the people around him.
Trump only used his phone to tweet.
plus if you use end to end encryption this sort of hack would be useless, no? my impression is that this solarwinds would only allow a man-in-the-middle attack?
It's sounds like they want chaos in the general public. Think about public arrest on the CCP in the USA.
Aren't they blaming Russia again though?
I saw a NYT headline that does just that.
