Feds call 'nine-month long undetected' Russian hack that breached US nuclear agencies
[MAIL] A massive suspected Russian cyber campaign is being called the biggest breach in American history and a 'grave threat' to the government and private companies, with the Senate's No. 2 Democrat demanding a 'response in kind.'

The sprawling attack, which targeted critical government infrastructure using a Trojan horse hidden in network management software from SolarWinds Corp, also compromised broad swathes of the private sector, including Microsoft and likely most of the Fortune 500, it emerged on Thursday.

Officials say the attack went undetected for nearly nine months, allowing the hackers free range in the affected networks, including at the Pentagon, FBI, Treasury, State Department and nuclear security agencies, and that the true scale of the stolen information may never be known.

#1 'Just in Time' crisis takes place on Donald Trump's watch. All the air suddenly removed from media Hunter Biden story, election fraud, Rep. Swalwell-Fang BJ's. No mention of Chinese. Reinforces lagging Russian narrative.

What's not to like ?

#2 This is likely the smoke screen story so the Deep State can clean up the fraudulent election software.

#4 Maybe that Cyber Security Chief Krebs that was fired for missing the election hack was telling the truth (due to incompetence)... he missed the biggest hack for nine months on what should be the most monitored system in the world. Krebs should no longer be considered an 'expert'.

#9 But, but Christopher C. Krebs, CISA director (fired CISA director) said the 2020 election was the safest in history and there was no foreign intervention. Now, he is suing Joe di Genova for saying: “He should be drawn and quartered. taken out at dawn and shot.” He must not understand hyperbole and/or can't take a joke.

Unfortunately no. This is the worst breach I have ever seen in my 20 years of cyber security. Pretty much consider everything breached at this point, including Microsoft, the government and the voting software.

This was also a very well thought out and executed attack. Was it the Russians? Verdict is still out. But a lot of signs do point that way with the way this was run. Or at least one of their hacker groups that works with the Russian government at times.

#11 Gee maybe it's time we stopped crying Russia! Russia! Russia! and started figuring out how to get on the same side as the Russians to start reining in and fvcking up the Chinese.

No, that's too clever and sophisticated for our intelligence agencies' Inspector Clouseaux. Carry on then. RUSSIANS!!!
