āWhether the information is credible or not, NSAās policy is never to comment on affiliate or personnel matters,ā an NSA spokesman told the Wall Street Journal.
Thatās reassuring. Not. I give them props though for not parroting āFake News!ā
Is there really no way for the NSA to prevent such top-secret material from being transferred to another computer?
Whether the information is credible or not
In other words, the information is correct.
I am absolutely SURE this is āfake newsāā¦no waitā¦it was during the āObama Yearsā??? Oh well then. Itās true and itās careless and SOMEBODY should be ālocked upā.
Kaspersky Lab told the Wall Street Journal that it "has not been provided any information or evidence substantiating this alleged incidentā and said it "must assume that this is another example of a false accusation.ā
Kaspersky Lab has not yet been informed that the preferred American English translation of āŠ»Š¾Š¶Š½Š¾Šµ Š¾Š±Š²ŠøŠ½ŠµŠ½ŠøŠµā is no longer āfalse accusation.ā It is now āFAKE NEWS!ā
At this point, we might as well not close the curtain when getting undressed. Screw License Plate numbers, we can just use our full SSN. Banks and credit unions can publish account numbers weekly in the paper. The military can ask their adversaries if their battle plans look up to par. Really, this privacy thing is so over.
Russians Russians everywhere. Anybody surprised? Iām expecting Trump to rip off his fat suit and Putinās underneath laughing like the Uncola Man.
A contractor, or anyone, who is so stupid as to do something like this should get 30-40 years in a SuperMax. Which would deter others inclined to like foolishness.
Iād also wonder if there was a Trumpian mole buried within the NSA.
āPsss hey Donnie, Manafort, you too Roger Stone look at what I haveā
just like the election, nothing to see here, right 'pubes?
If true, then it is another national security failure under President Obama.
Is it me, or does it seem to anyone else that the Russians are just running cirlces around the US? Where are Americaās hackers? I thought these guys were the best. Oh, wait, thatās right: theyāre too busy making death and rape threats to women, stealing (oh sorry, torrenting) movies, posting racist garbage and still using Fast Eddie Snowdenās pic as stroke material to even bother. (Or hey, maybe they just donāt have the skillz, you know?)
Somewhere, Lenin,Stalin, Krushchev, Brezhnev are all laughing: superpower bested and not a single shot was fired.
hackers working for the Russian government stole the highly classified material in 2015 after an NSA contractor transferred it to his home computer.
WTF? How easy is it for contractors to blithely transfer classified material from the NSA to their home computers???
Not just you. We actually are in a cyberwar and weāre losing badly.
The Russians are in A Cyber War with America. Trump supporters are mostly old white guys no college. they donāt fully understand the meaning. ITS WAR ON THE US
Itās really hard to win a war when the President and his party are on the other side.
On a related note, with this latest disclosure which is a Big Deal, Ithink itās safe to say that the Russians never had any ādirtā on Hillary Clinton that they gleaned from wherever, and that her server was never hacked. What irony, you know? Because at this point that info would have come out already given the breaches that have been reported in the last month alone (Equifax).
Yes, what ironyā¦
It is. In fact it may all, with the emails included, overtake my previous metaphor for the ultimate irony, which has been the Seven Cities of Gold Casino in Okay Ohwinge, between here and Santa Fe.
The real question, why was a NSA contractor willing to move this data to his home computer. Why is it not say the head of housekeeping that moved stock inventory to his home computer and was āhackedā and for more quotes āunwittinglyā.
The nature of the information in relation to the personnel involved makes this āoops!ā highly suspect.
