I would imagine that their intranet would be firewalled off from the internet and access only allowed from designated devices. The laptop in question undoubtedly had internet but no intranet access.

Gotta disagree with you here son. If we're talking about that laptop in the first place I guarantee the switches would allow it in.
It's a right handy way to take the focus off of his failure.
Wagging the dog, yes. But I also think his black liberation theology, which preaches hatred of the Jew, also plays here.

Why? I worked for many years at T-Mobile as a networking engineer. Any well run security minded company would have different layers of security and levels of access.

Really Mr. T-Mobile? Why do you think a foreign agency would target a specific laptop? Break it down for me all scientific like.

Once again, gotta disagree. I bet it could connect to the network which is why it was targeted in the first place.

A good place to start is to read up about the 3 layer heirarchical model as defined by Cisco.

OK, does Cisco explain anywhere why you would want to target a machine that will never connect to your intended target?

What does that mean? Do you mean the intranet, if so yes I'm sure that it can. However an enterprise wide intranet will typically be set up to allow different levels of access as already stated. For instance, HR or customer service are likely to be barred access to key functions like the electricity grid. That would most likely be accessible by technical support staff only.Once again, gotta disagree. I bet it could connect to the network which is why it was targeted in the first place.

Actually no, I don't mean the "Intranet" as you keep calling it. By the way, that's a dead giveaway. What I'm talking about is most accurately referred to as a subnet.

Well unless you had insider knowledge how would you know what level of access a particular device had in advance? You would only know that by trying it and seeing how far you got before being barred access to servers on a particular VLAN or subnet.

You just hit on my point. Machines, and their owners/users, are specifically targeted precisely due to what subnet they have access to. That's why I objected to your use of the term "Intranet"...that could mean an entire corporate forest.

Intranet is not something I just made up, it is a general term for an internal network. It is clear that you only have a hazy and sketchy understanding of IP addressing schemes.Actually no, I don't mean the "Intranet" as you keep calling it. By the way, that's a dead giveaway. What I'm talking about is most accurately referred to as a subnet.
Of course the whole concept of subnetting IPv4 addresses to subdivide addressing classes more efficiently becomes virtually unnecessary in IPv6, where you can assign a /64 subnet mask on a point to point link without feeling the least bit guilty.

The same way most of them are. Foolish subscribers. People have given up on real unbiased journalism and just cling to anything that supports the way they are thinking. That is scarier than anything.

Are you using Iridium or Inmarsat?Alright Milagro and Guille you network geniuses. All I want to know is why when I am at sea on satellite I have zero problems with connections but when I come ashore my phone gives me some round swirling thingy and drops calls.

They weren't the only ones.
Nearly the entire TARD infested state run media jumped on this one, as it proved their 'Vlad stole the election fer the Dumpster n' robbed our deserving Queen and now he wants our 'lectricity' narrative by proxy.
It is frickin' hilarious.
Yer question is spot on: why are ANY those fools still in bidness? burp...
