    Putin gave a strong powerful denial.
    Could have been someone else.
    Cold have been a 400 pound guy sitting on a couch.

    It’s all a hoax.

    If you read the article you’d see they’re using legit credentials to get by security. This isn’t a brute force hack, but rather a social engineering operation. They’re working American citizen assets.

    Even if this were true, no one is going to believe shit that your leaders say about it, because they're proven liars and frauds who attempted a coup, failed, and tried to blame Russia in a piss poor attempt to cover it up. They think it's a big joke and the people are stupid enough to believe it. They deserve to be executed for treason, and are lucky we live in the modern age, because they won't be.

    “They” have nothing to do with the report in question.

    If I “suck off” Dems you’re getting finger cuffed by Trump and Putin, you stupid fucking gimp.

    Poont of clarification, the article does not say the Russians have American moles or double-agents or whatever.

    Yes. They are just tricking stupid Americans to get the access.

    This is critical infrastructure hacking. Been going on for years. Russia is quite good at it. This is a fucking serious issue though - forget who the President is.

    Sounds like it's about time for an all caps tweet.

    Actually when things get hacked it's statistically likely that it's the Russian mob or some punk 15 year old nerd

    Correct. But the usage of legit credentials to avoid detection implies that the leak is at the personal level. They’re targeting individual employees. Whether they are cooperating/collaborating or just left their laptop open is anyone’s guess. But the idea of a GRU spy trying to get the lower wage employees to cooperate is scarier than the notion that they can hack an air-gapped system.

    It's standard phishing to credential theft I'd bet.

    Possibly. But any system worth a shit has more than an email/password credential. Basic 2-factor means they phished credentials and THEN got to the phone where the verification code generates in order to get in. This means personal contact.

    You're throwing some conjecture over top of what was reported.

    I was cheering like every other GOOD American when we! took out the centrifuges with Stuxnet. But even then I was worrying what might be coming back at us.

    Turn off the lights in America for 1 week and the shit will get real. Do lasting damage to a few critical systems and it could spiral into chaos. Infrastructure was the one thing Trump was selling that I was buying, and it ain’t happening any time soon (or ever).
