  • Sources say ransomware was detected that is commonly used by foreign governments and criminal hackers

  • They didn't say what the ransomware is

  • It's unclear if the hackers asked for a ransom like the Colonial Pipeline hackers

Question:
Why didn't we see these type of Hacks during the TRUMP administration?


Or is this, in this case a way to taint or claimed tainted any criminal evidence collected in a few of the high profile Politically motivated cases NY has brewing?

Either way it helps promote the Harris/Biden Admin goal of a federally controlled, monitored and secured Internet.

Will 2025 have us registering Desktops, and Laptops?
Note: Smartphones are already registered Trackable/Traceable devices.
