Lawmakers call for action after 'devastating' nation state cyberattack on federal government

Reuters first reported that the hackers had successfully hacked into the Treasury Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).

However, the attack was likely even more catastrophic.

According to a post on SolarWinds' website removed Monday, the company’s customers also include all five branches of the military, the Justice and State departments, the National Security Agency, the Postal Service, and 425 of the U.S. Fortune 500 companies.

Lawmakers call for action after 'devastating' nation state cyberattack on federal government

The powers that be (red and blue) are accusing the Russians. Don't know myself. This the only the fifth time that this kind of alert has gone out.

The company that was the vector is "SolarWinds" out of Texas.

On these type of matters should our attention be, especially after 4 years of endless destruction of agencies that safe guard our democratic republic.

But when you outsource all the work to the private sector you get shoddy work for a high price so that the rich get richer. All this type of security work should be done by federal or work employees we the citizens of the US would get a whole lot more robust systems all around.

There is plenty of information in the article, should to wish to inform yourself - oh - and with a good capitalist spin.

Good thread here on it already : www.abovetopsecret.com...

Sounds like bs.
Another internet lockdown scheme, or war propaganda.
If you are dumb enough to hook anything critical to the internet, then you need removed from your position and charged with negligence.
This concept isn't rocket surgery.
"Hey let's hook the nuke plants up to the internet!"
"Let's hook the treasury up!"
Does anyone hear how stupid this sounds?

"Hacked into"
My ass.

Russia? Really? We're still playing that card?

China owns most of our "elected" officials.

They own the media, and apparently the judges... You really think they're not involved?


Of course they're not, China owns the media and about half of the politicians so clearly they can do no wrong.

Hell , let's still go ahead and lock the barn doors even after all the horses are miles away.
Knee-jerk reactions is most likely the only thing I truly despise.

Good point! WHY wait until December to let us know about something that happened in May?

The Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) also dispatched a warning, and further reporting on the issue pointed out the intrusion itself took place in May of 2020, and the malware was constructed to disguise itself within the SolarWinds’ system.

A cyber security firm, FireEye, found the intrusion door, identified the source code and tracked it to SolarWinds. FireEye then notified law enforcement and federal agencies who then began reviewing the breach:

In like Flynn?

Thing is... Can we really trust them when they say that it was state backed?

Just look at the Sony hack that was supposed to be north Korea. Didn't that turn out to be a bunch of Russian teenagers looking to blackmail people?

And anything out of China gets called state sponsored if its a state college or a company with state investment behind the hack.

Well it's too bad the Dominion software was created by SolarWinds hahaha

Sure sounds like they're setting up the false flag justification for Biden and the Dimocrats to start up their war machine. Man they love starting and continuing wars. Very profitable for them and their families. I sure hope people realize and appreciate the peace time we had over the last 4 years.
