What I warned about, Part 2 : "Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility..."


I know you hate to read, and post more than a few words, obviously. But follow up with the warning from WSJ:
Cyberattacks Raise Alarm for U.S. Power Grid
If you are too lazy or stupid to find content I'm too lazy to go there. Yes, we should always be vigilant and have security in place. Russia is not the only ones that could harm us. I didn't realize that was a controversy for you.


If it was mandatory on this board to post a link to a news source to corroborate a post, this site would have only about 10 people left on it, and I would be one of them. You would be gone.

It just happened a couple days ago and they know who did it already? Did Putin sign the Malware with love from Russia?

Putin tested his malware out on the Ukraine first, in 2015:

""""Russia has been accused in the past of launching a cyberattack on Ukraine’s electrical grid, something it has denied.

Cybersecurity experts say a hack in December 2015 destabilized Kiev’s power grid, causing a blackout in part of the Ukrainian capital. On Thursday, Ukranian President Petro Poroshenko accused Russia of waging a hacking war on his country that has entailed 6,500 attacks against Ukranian state institutions over the past two months."""
But the laptop infected was not connected to the grid so there was no threat to the US grid. This is just another fake news story being pushed by the hysterical left. In fact, there is no evidence Russia hacked anything in the US, other than some lines of code that are well known to many people both in and out of government, so while this code has been used in the past by Russian hackers, it is so widely know today it is not credible to claim only the Russians could have used it.

The article said the malware "MAY may have resulted from a relatively benign episode, such as visiting a questionable website,..". Do you understand what MAY means? It's not just the month after April.

That is one line out of the entire article. But since you are being conditioned to just go with 140 characters or less from Donald's Tweets, I can understand your stupidity.
Other words they have NO IDEA WHERE IT CAME FROM.

Keep peddling your dumbass fake narrative

Yeah, this 'report' feels too much like Fake News propaganda. It was all about speculative opinion. No facts. The truth is, they don't know. They just ran with the Russian accusation out of laziness and convenience. Another prime example of Fake News propaganda.

You're wrong, as usual. Most lazy people are.

Since Republicans like to side with Russia over everyone now they will choose Russia over their own electricity!

Why not just volunteer your electrical to Russia and praise the Putin portrait by candlelight?

'“What they released doesn’t add anything to the discussion [about attribution],” said Rob Lee, founder of the critical infrastructure cybersecurity company Dragos.

The technical data in the report, security experts say, is a very basic footprint pointing to Russian intruders — and one that frequently turns out to be a false positive.

“What they released is what we would consider to be the lowest form of indicators of compromise,” Lee said.'

Obama's Russia report unlikely to silence doubters

"False positive" means there is no proof the Russians were involved despite the fact that some code they used in the past was present.

In other words, fake news, first promoted by the Clinton campaign and now by the Obama WH.
 
Just a heads up folks. This 'report' has already been outed as being Fake News propaganda. The 'report' is all speculative opinion. There is no evidence pointing to Russia. It's propaganda. If the Post has any credibility left, it will apologize and retract.
 
Saw that early this morning.

Wonder how many websites will not report this part of it?

" The matched malware code on the laptop may have resulted from a relatively benign episode, such as visiting a questionable website, a source familiar with the matter said, suggesting Russian hackers may not have been directly involved."

Someone checking out a porn site caught a bug.

DEFCON 5 in effect.


Cherry-picking out of context. How so like you. Just put your feathery head back in the hole in the ground where it belongs.

out of context?

The virus could have been downloaded from any of numerous websites.

The laptop was not connected to the energy site.

Just because you want to run around screaming 'the sky is falling', doesn't mean it is.

Possible, I suppose.

Just wonder how many of the Chicken Littles on this board have picked up a virus from China, Russia, Japan, etc because of the sites they've been to?

Yeah he did say that. Democrats have conveniently forgotten about it. Go figure?
 
Maybe Mitt Romney should have been listened to four years ago when he warned people about Russia being a threat instead of being mocked.
