CONFIRMED: Russians hacked the Pentagon-along with meddling in U.S. election

[Zander]

Confirmed: This thread is "FAKE NEWS".

 

[Nia88]

Trumpsters will never accept what the Russians did. You could give them video and audio evidence of Putin admitting on camera that he did it and they would still not believe it.

Now I want to know who in the RNC was involved? And if they anyone from the RNC or Trump campaign was involved, they need to be charged with treason for getting a forgein power involved in our election.

 

[Nia88]

It's confirmed from all major news network. Russia hacked into the Pentagon, and indeed helped Trump win the election by hacking into DNC databases to locate Hillary Clinton's emails.

"Russian hackers, struck at the heart of the U.S. military in August 2015 by seizing the e-mail system used by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, CBS News has learned.

Then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey was alerted to the attack by an early-morning phone call from the Director of the National Security Agency, Admiral Mike Rogers.

Now retired, Dempsey told CBS News in an exclusive interview that the attack was proceeding at an alarming speed. Within an hour, hackers had seized control of the unclassified e-mail system used by the Pentagon’s Joint Staff, the organization of some 3,500 military officers and civilians who work for the Chairman.

In that time, the hackers seized the computer credentials of Dempsey and hundreds of other senior officers -- the passwords and electronic signatures they used to sign on to the network. The only way to stop the attack was to take the network down.

The attack, which officials now blame on Russia, began with 30,000 e-mails sent to a West Coast university. Of those 30,000, four were forwarded to members of the Joint Staff and one was opened -- allowing the hackers in. Since it was an unclassified network, the attack had no real intelligence value.

It was not spying, but a full-on assault whose only apparent purpose was to cause damage and force the Pentagon to replace both hardware and software, which took about two weeks to accomplish.

The motive for the attack was believed to be Russian anger at economic sanctions orchestrated by the Obama administration in response to Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea and interference in Ukraine.

Cyber attacks have come to be known as weapons of mass disruption, and it is now clear that Russia has used them not just to meddle in U.S. elections -- but to do harm to the American military."
Russian hack almost brought the U.S. military to its knees

So what is an electoral college voter supposed to do on Monday, knowing that a foreign adversary interfered into our election to get Donald Trump elected?

Amazing, isn't it.

There is no sane person who thinks that Vladimir Putin would rather have Trump than any stupid dimshit especially one who sold him uranium from our reserves to update his Nukes with. What is the IQ of a clinton supporter as opposed to an amoeba just a little less.

Wow
We have the FBI who opted for gross negligence
instead of criminal intent and treason

The CIA has assessed that Russia interfered with the election

Now, it's the Pentagon was hacked in 2015,
whereas, 'the military was nearly brought to its knees'
and....we're just hearing about it now?

GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!

Why would Ofuckingshithead have to order the CIA
to look into whether or not Russia played a part in the election...
IF THEY HACKED THE PENTAGON IN 2015
AND BREACHED THE HEART OF OUR MILITARY OPERATIONS
THEY'D ALREADY BE ON RUSSIA LIKE WHITE ON RICE

GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THIS BULLSHIT

The only thing all this 'info' does for me,
is to view our intelligence agencies as incompetent!

Fucking morons!

OMG! HAHAHAHAhahaha!!! I'm laughing my ass off right now! You are soooooo fucking right! God, I'm gonna be laughing into tomorrow...

They fixed it when it happened, but because of Obama's executive order to get deeper intelligence out to the public PRIOR to Trump's Inauguration- it is being reported now. Too many people were having a conniption fit about it, including Republicans.

Obviously, they're sick and tired of Trump stating these hacks weren't coming from the Russians, and they're going to take him down with the Kremlin. President or not, he's going down, looking very incompetent, and unfit to be POTUS. I imagine there's much more to come. This is just a start.

Sweet baby Jesus--you didn't know that Barack Obama issued an executive order last week, to get into these Russian hacks--and that he wants it done PRIOR to Trump's inauguration? It is an order for the intelligence community to release deeper information of these Russian hackers. We are starting to get information now, and there is certain to be more coming in the days ahead.

The fear from the intelligence committee's is that they do not want to inform Russia how they were caught, so they will be releasing certain information, but not all. This is why it wasn't released previously. But Senate intelligence committees, including Republicans were having a conniption fit over Russia's influence on this election, and that is why this is happening NOW.

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Collusion with a foreign adversary (Russia) to hack into government and private data bases--in an effort to sway a National election. In fact he even encouraged it.

I never supported Trump. In fact, I trashed him this entire election cycle, but the difference between me and people like you is that the day after the election I accepted the he won fair and square and moved on while you loons have flown completely over the cuckoo's nest and keep making jackasses of yourselves. Just stop already.
