The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the U.S. agency that manages the nation’s stockpile of nuclear weapons, is the latest in federal agencies hacked, according to a new report on Thursday.

Officials close to the matter told Politico that the NNSA has evidence of hackers gaining access to the agency’s networks in a mass spy operation that also hacked various other U.S. agencies. The officials don’t yet know what information hackers have been able to access or steal – and it may take weeks to find out.

Power grids are highly localized and locked down in the US. You don't fuck around with US government when it comes to Grid Security. It's bad but not anything Truly Worrisome.

Nukes too, valuable info but not immediately actionable mist likely
