Or...was Barron responsible...I guess Barron isn't as great at the cyber as Donald thought he was.
I don't think hardware, but it might prove very difficult to completely remove all the Russians decided to leave behind, once these idiots clicked "run" on the fake software updates God only knows what was installed and where it's been hidden. Complete system re-installs might be needed along with combing through databases with a fine toothed comb.
Jimmy Carter?I feel like Obama was the only moral president I've ever known of the US.
Jimmy Carter?
I figured that was the case.That was before I achieved self awareness

Here is the Romney thing, he said it was 'stunning' for there to be no white house response to this
Romney: ‘Stunning’ for White House not to respond on Russian cyberattack
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday said it was “stunning” for the White House to not issue a response regarding multiple alleged U.S. government cyber attacks stemming from Russia.thehill.com
which it is.
I'm weak on network security, but will offer that in the brief (3 minute?) NBC network national newscast last night I did hear them say that this didn't affect classified information, so your assessment appears accurate in that regard.I doubt that I will assuage many fears, but I don't think this is nearly as bad as hearing things like "They hacked the guys that control the nukes!" will make it sound. From what I've read, access was achieved by essentially slipping a Trojan Horse into a vendor's software (firmware?) update. The first thing that comes to mind is that for this to even work or provide access, the vendor's devices must have external access available, which gives me one huge takeaway... these attacks were most likely only performed on unclassified networks.
Although, to be fair, there is still a lot of data available on unclassified networks. For example, there was the hack on OMB a few years back that caused many millions of people to have their PII (SSN, etc.) leaked. However, the point is that anything that's considered classified ought to have been out of reach... so long as things were DISA-compliant. So, if you're worried that the Russians stole the nuclear launch codes... relax.
How did this happen? My guess is that it relates to how much trust is allocated to third-party vendors in regard to unclassified networks. Where a closed network will generally require some sort of validation for all software being installed (unless the vendor has performed it up to the required level of scrutiny), more open networks just don't usually have these restrictions. The update from SolarWinds would be trusted because they're a valid vendor.
What will happen? My guess is that we're going to see far stricter controls placed on third-party vendors when it comes to provided software whether it be firmware or desktop-run software. Third-party vendors might also have more restrictions placed upon them in regard to DevOps and InfoSec practices, and if they fail to meet these, they won't even be allowed to bid on proposals or offer their services.

.........aaaaaannnnnnnddddd the President downplays the hack having Russian origins....nobody knows maybe it was China. Meh happens all the time.
IMPEACH!!!!!!.........aaaaaannnnnnnddddd the President downplays the hack having Russian origins....nobody knows maybe it was China. Meh happens all the time.
The WH was all prepared with a presentation that it was Russia, and delusional Trump shut them down. He is a traitor..........aaaaaannnnnnnddddd the President downplays the hack having Russian origins....nobody knows maybe it was China. Meh happens all the time.
I just came to post this..........aaaaaannnnnnnddddd the President downplays the hack having Russian origins....nobody knows maybe it was China. Meh happens all the time.
Russia HAS to have something on him. I mean this far out why does he still protect them?The WH was all prepared with a presentation that it was Russia, and delusional Trump shut them down. He is a traitor.
It used to seem outlandish, but has become glaringly obvious that Russia has something over Trump ~ Trump's actions as president couldn't be planned any better to benefit Russia (and harm the US) even if he had been replaced by an FSB agent.........aaaaaannnnnnnddddd the President downplays the hack having Russian origins....nobody knows maybe it was China. Meh happens all the time.
Microsoft says it is Russia.
Really makes you wonder what they have on him that he can never bring himself to blame Russia for anything..........aaaaaannnnnnnddddd the President downplays the hack having Russian origins....nobody knows maybe it was China. Meh happens all the time.
FAKE NEWS!!!!!He owes hundreds of millions to the Russian Mafia, Putin is the defacto head of the Russian Mafia in case there are people still out there that don't know this.
