SolarWinds hack Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 04:53:50 No.6248

>US national security agencies issued a joint statement Wednesday acknowledging a "significant and ongoing hacking campaign" that's affecting the federal government. It's still unclear how many agencies are affected or what information hackers might have stolen so far, but by all accounts the malware is extremely powerful. According to analysis by Microsoft and security firm FireEye, both of which were also infected with the malware, it gives hackers broad reach into impacted systems.
>On Thursday, Politico reported that systems at the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration were also affected. Also on Thursday, Microsoft said it had identified more than 40 customers that were targeted in the hack. More information is likely to emerge about the hack and its aftermath.

One of the worst parts about mass surveillance is that the people doing it are embarrassingly bad at securing the data they're hoarding.

I doubt we'll get rid of datamining in the near future so I wish we could at least get proper data protection laws, god damn it.

The only part that's probably not real is that this was done by le russians.

well, there is a good chance that it was. They have a pretty extensive cyber warfare setup.

Prove it. Until then, consider who stands to gain by producing an intangible enemy. Also see >>6226
