Newsmax: Rep. Schiff: Unlike China's Hacks, Russia 'Weaponized' Data
President Barack Obama took a stance against Russia's intelligence hacks, issuing sanctions against Russian diplomats in the U.S., measures which were not imposed against China's hacks because Russia stole information and "weaponized it" unlike the Chinese, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday.
"Here's what's different about what Russia did: They didn't just steal data, they weaponized it," Schiff told ABC's "This Week" host Jonathan Karl. "They dumped it during an election with a specific intent of influencing the outcomes of that election and sowing discord in the United States.
"That is not something China has ever done. It's not something, frankly, that Russia has ever done here, although it has done it in Europe, and that is a very different situation than the mere stealing information is, as serious as it was in China's case.

WNU Editor: If this is the explanation that the Democrats are going to give on why there are two different responses from the White House on Russian and Chinese cyber attacks .... they are going to be open to charges that they are acting more out of politics .... and not national security.
Unbelievable! China steal top secret information's...for making weapons, but that's almost nothing. And why not a medal for that? Democrats are pushing the limits of bad faith.

ReplyDeleteThe US hacks Russia and China as well. That's how the game is played.
If you think about it as a "weapon", while China has stolen the plans for a weapon, Russia stole the plans for a weapon, built it, and dentonated it on US soil.
It comes down to how you define "National Security".
The most dangerous weapon of all, truth.
