Solar winds Hack

[togor]

Good write-up here why this one is a problem. It comes down to admin level tools being compromised, with wide network access, so malware spreads malware.

BTW Mike Pompeo confirmed this so it's okay to believe that it actually happened.

Regardless of where articles posted, this one is gonna be a problem.

Admin level tools, for network security.

what have read is it will cost a bit of $ to get rid of it,
but it is also not in any sensitive systems,

and was apparently caught before it migrated to any, (or they are on separate systems)

Like the article points out, possible to deposit new malware far beyond the point of attack.

It gets into the bloodstream, sorta like cancer cells that go to the liver or brain from the lungs and start work there.

Predictably, Trump down plays the severity of the hack, contradicting his own administration, and doubly-downplays Russian involvement. Very much want to know what Putin has on him. The pattern after so many years is unmistakable.

If you mean Putin, in Trump's head, yeah.

And utterly predictable. Imagine if he cared as much about America as he does about Russia. The things he might have accomplished while in office.

Arkansas sounds weird.

Be careful with that regional bigotry.

Not a word to be tossed around lightly, IMO.

Lyman, it's no secret that Russia likes to pull stuff. What is a mystery, and reasonable to wonder about, is why POTUS extends himself to deflect blame away from Russia. Almost equal is the question of why normally conspiracy-minded folk swear there's nothing special going on in Trump's head with respect to the former KGB leader.

The sky is falling though, is that not weird?

Precipitation or should we alert the FAA about a dropped object from an airliner.

Trump is the only person in an official capacity, within the federal government to publicly do so. It's not really surprising is it?

With 3000+ deaths a day, he just keeps publicly focused on constitutional 7D chess moves to keep a job he gave up doing 6 months ago, just to raise money.

Just let-it-go I'd say!
