Russian hackers penetrate U.S. electricity grid...

How about you read for comprehension? A poster said that Liberals never forgave Reagan for calling the USSR the evil empire. I responded that I agreed that some did that but would never own it. You then responded to me saying you would own it but did so apparently without having any fucking clue what you're owning. You're kind of stupid.

Quit drinking. You're talking stupid gibberish.

I know exactly what I said and why I said it you fucking TARD.

I'm sorry i do not take WaPo seriously - this could have been long ago and nothing new

Either way China hacks us all the time - hacking is cyberwarfare. The Russians are the best -but China is damn good too.
I think we are pretty good at it too- the fact we find all this shows that.. It's the new normal

The headline screams, "Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility"

The story says, "While the Russians did not actively use the code to disrupt operations, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a security matter, the discovery underscores the vulnerabilities of the nation’s electrical grid. And it raises fears in the U.S. government that Russian government hackers are actively trying to penetrate the grid to carry out potential attacks."

"Burlington Electric said in a statement that the company detected a malware code used in the Grizzly Steppe operation in a laptop that was not connected to the organization’s grid systems."

"This week, officials from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence shared the Grizzly Steppe malware code with executives from 16 sectors nationwide, including the financial, utility and transportation industries, a senior administration official said." (These guys ever run Malwarebytes?????????????)

WAPO still hasn't changed its partisan ways.

This is the most important sentence in that article. This could mean a lot of things.

I posted this within another thread and Pmp said in essence "no big deal."

Suddenly Putin and the Russians can do no wrong.

John McAfee says it could be a number of different agencies doing the hacking, he ought to know.

"He called the FBI’s claims of the Kremlin hacking the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta a “fallacy”.

Speaking to host Larry King on RT America, he said any number of agencies could have been behind any interference.

“When the FBI or when any other agency says the Russians did it or the Chinese did something or the Iranians did something – that's a fallacy,” said McAfee.

“Any hacker capable of breaking into something is extraordinarily capable of hiding their tracks. If I were the Chinese and I wanted to make it look like the Russians did it I would use Russian language within the code."

Liberals hated it because he tarred the entire Russian population with that slander. Liberals today are criticizing Putin and his toadies. not every single Russian citizen.

reagan's false piety couldn't be more evident than in this statement: "Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness—pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the State, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world....

Right because the Russian people won't bother to notice you are accusing their government of hacking our election. God you are dense

I am glad the left has finally woken up to our vulnerabilities. I guess it take not getting your way in an election to do so?

If we don't do it too, we're stupid.

And if you're really good at it, you don't get caught. Even better, you plant someone else's fingerprints. That's why I take this sudden obsession with hacking with a grain of salt.

Given the current political climate, I wouldn't put it past certain parties to plant cyber finger prints.
 
This just shows the complete inefficiency of our government and tax dollars. You would think "hacking" is something they have never heard of. The threat of cyber attacks has been brought up for decades now. They are certainly nothing new. Like everything with government, even though the problem is staring them in the face, they will not do shit about it until is causes damage and destruction.
