Here’s the Bloomberg piece. None of the agencies commented. .This maybe a warning from Putin to Trump.

I’m in shock about the fact we are this vulnerable…

And again, the GOPers are all fine with it.

According to a security researcher who has seen the report, the malware that activated the engineer’s username and password was designed to be used once the hackers were already inside the plant’s computer systems.

This must be what they meant by attacking people. Maybe some sort of phishing to get the passwords.

pesky little fuckers.

effing Word docs. Not secure.

Just Russia, that’s all, And all it does is infect our democracy and further damage an already corrupt system.

The GOP just sees it as another successful means of voter suppression and can block out the fact that they are in cahoots with our #1 adversary because they won.

Trump has done nothing and continues to blame Obama.

Why would he, he, Ryan, McConnell and the entire GOP are all in on Russia…

… and that is what makes me deeply concerned about 2018/2020. Clapper is indeed warning us. The GOP leaders have been acting like there will be no electoral consequences of their words and actions, and that’s hard to explain unless we assume they are counting on Russia for their assistance (again).

There’s good reason Trump has done nothing. He and Republicans have every incentive to do nothing about this.

Oof.

You are correct and no one -that we know of- has pressed Trump to get on top of this.

You know how sometimes when they condense a NFL game by editing out all the breaks in between plays, time outs, etc, and the actual game play is something like 15-20 minutes? Same thing would happen if they edited out all Trump’s redundant statements. Not a single one of his speeches would last more than 5 minutes.

Gee whiz, James, just think how much more credible you’d be if you hadn’t blatantly lied to Congress about mass collection of private communications of American citizens. Nothing you say will ever again be believable. You should be tried for your crimes.

That’s because the GOTP thinks that “they’re country” is only white conservative men. They think the Russians will rid the USA of all women, miorities and members of the democrat party

Sure you can. That’s what they call it. Human hacking. Social engineering. In short, deceiving someone somehow into carrying out some technical task for you, flipping some switch, whatever.

Whether he matters depends on your thought process regarding this country.
