WASHINGTON — Over the past few years, the United States government has spent tens of billions of dollars on cyberoffensive capabilities, building a giant war room at Fort Meade, Md., for United States Cyber Command, and installing sensors all around the country — a system named Einstein to give it an air of genius — to deter the nation’s enemies from picking its networks clean, again.
It now is clear that the broad Russian espionage attack on the United States government and private companies, underway since spring and detected by the private sector only a few weeks ago, ranks among the greatest intelligence failures of modern times.
Einstein missed it — because the Russian hackers brilliantly designed their attack to avoid setting it off. The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, which understandably focused on protecting the 2020 election, were looking elsewhere.

Fred (3:58),
Every diplomatic interaction is made public?
How do you know that cyber command did not already counterattack and hurt the Russians but the commanding general, JCS, and Trump do not want to make that public?
What I do know is that there are Hunter Biden sex tapes with children and Joe Biden is susceptible to blackmail.
TRUMP REFUSES TO CONDEMN PUTIN/RUSSIA. SIMPLE AS THAT...NOW TRY THIS
Biden promises retaliation for cyberattack on government agencies
Produce a copy then of the tapes you claim to know about because I assume you have seen them! Oh, you have not but...?
put up or shut up
Trump has never ever said a bad word about Putin or Russia. Not in 4 years. any sanctions were imposed despite Trump. Show us otherwise!
WHY CAN NOT TRUMP SPEAK UP FOR AMERICA WHEN THE LARGEST CYBER ATTACK WE HAVE EVER HAD TAKES PLACE AND THE MAN WHO WILL BE THE PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY SPOKEN UP???
If our so called intelligence agencies weren't riddled with quislings of the ilk of Alexander Vindman and John Brennan, maybe they would have seen this coming.
But they were preoccupied with first impeaching Trump and secondly making sure the fraudulent installation of Biden took place.
And now Biden is promising "substantial costs" to "those responsible". Which means absolutely nothing.
No clerky, it's you who's made accusations that were never proven.
If the clerk had not been so infatuated with a certain male student he would know the answer.
I'm placing a phone call.
Hmmm, on one hand Russian security apparatus is inept on leaking Russias' secrets, but on the other hand are diabolically clever in invading US cyber space. I wonder if one or the other is true or if both are true.
Good call! Let us know if you get an answer.
