Well, what is the difference between Joe Biden and Erdogan ? Erdogan, may be, has some advantage.

Anyone have any idea what damage actually occurred?

(other than the protestations of the same liars who pushed a Russian collusion hoax for four years)

Russ,

Exactly!! Assuming it did occur which is a big if the "targets" actively supported the Russia commission hoax abd the various unjustified punitive actions taken against Russia. Perhaps the "targets" received blowback for their actions. Part of the problem with "blowback" is while the guilty do tend to receive what is due them innocents are often collateral damage. Those in positions of leadership have a fiduciary responsibility not to do stupid.

Who is responsible?

Russia's foreign intelligence service, the SVR, is believed to have carried out the hack, according to cybersecurity experts who cite the extremely sophisticated nature of the attack. Russia has denied involvement.

President Trump has been silent about the hack and his administration has not attributed blame. However, U.S. intelligence agencies have started briefing members of Congress, and several lawmakers have said the information they've seen points toward Russia.

Included are members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, where Chairman James Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, and the top Democrat on the panel, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, issued a joint statement Thursday saying "the cyber intrusion appears to be ongoing and has the hallmarks of a Russian intelligence operation."

After several days of saying relatively little, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Thursday delivered an ominous warning, saying the hack "poses a grave risk" to federal, state and local governments as well as private companies and organizations.

In addition, CISA said that removing the malware will be "highly complex and challenging for organizations."

The episode is the latest in what has become a long list of suspected Russian electronic incursions into other nations under President Vladimir Putin. Multiple countries have previously accused Russia of using hackers, bots and other means in attempts to influence elections in the U.S. and elsewhere.

U.S. national security agencies made major efforts to prevent Russia from interfering in the 2020 election. But those same agencies seem to have been blindsided by the hackers who have had months to dig around inside U.S. government systems.

11:30,

Let me the 1st to call you a know nothings, gawdless cunt! You are like you main man "Jiden", a plagiarist. Not one of those words were your own. They almost never are.

Do you remember the 20915 OPM hack? They actually caught some one and let him go. He went back to China.

And Joe pushed back. Oh, did he push back! Oh, glorious explosions of pain and delight.

And the $$$ kept rolling in.

In between plagiarizing and ogling look up the 2015 OPM Hack, will you hack?

A July 22, 2015 memo by Inspector General Patrick McFarland said that OPM's Chief Information Officer Donna Seymour was slowing her investigation into the breach, leading him to wonder whether or not she was acting in good faith.

Were there sanctions? Not one.

Was there bellicose language? Nuh uh.


No, after this breach Andrew Cuomo, Joe Biden, and Zang Jian Jun got in bed together for an illicit ménage à trois.
