Notorious Russia gang claims it stole 'classified and top secret documents' from US intelligence agencies - as FBI warns China hackers are preparing to 'wreak havoc' in America

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Russian ransomware gang allegedly infiltrated a technology company responsible for handling top-secret documents from US intelligence agencies, like the FBI.

The notorious group Blackcat, also known as ALPHV, is threatening to release the classified documents if the company, Technica, does not contact them soon.

Technica is a veteran-owned company that provides technology solutions to support the Federal Government’s mission to defend and protect America.

ALPHV claimed it stole 300 GB of documents that reportedly included Department of Defense contracts and the names, phone numbers and social security numbers of Technica employees.

The Russian attack comes as a FBI director warned Wednesday that China hackers are preparing 'to wreak havoc' in America.

#2 If I had my way, all internet traffic between China, Russia and Ukraine would be blocked from entering or leaving the United States. The governments of all three of those countries are either unwilling or unable to curtail the activities of their hackers. Indications are that those governments actually employ the hackers. An entire division of the PLA is said to be dedicated to cyber warfare.

Of course, our government is run by people who are too corrupt to block that traffic. They could do so easily but they won't. So any company with any kind of IT department should maintain a firewall that would block that traffic from getting into their servers.
