The Obama administration is considering launching a covert cyber attack against Russia to retaliate for the country's alleged interference in this year's presidential election, according to intelligence officials, with Vice President Joe Biden saying Friday that the White House is "sending a message" to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Current and former intelligence officials, said to have direct knowledge of the plans, told NBC News in an an exclusive that the CIA has already been asked to deliver options for an operation to "embarrass" Putin and other Russian leaders.
They did not say what the CIA is planning, but told NBC that the agency has been selecting targets and making other preparations. Also, the agency has gathered documents to expose Putin's tactics, the network said.
On Friday, Biden dismissed suggestions that the White House has failed to respond to Russia's interference, telling NBC's Chuck Todd that "we're sending a message," and "we have the capacity to do it."
"He'll know it and it will be at the time of our choosing and under the circumstances that have the greatest impact," said Biden, adding that he hopes the public will not know.

Russia-China forge new partnership
"For Russia and China, the policy of containment is the containment of the U.S. first of all.”
We are in deep doodoo and Obama is the reason.
And did you know we are at defcon 3 now?
Announcing you’re going to hack someone is like announcing you’re going to rob a bank.
Dorkbama the Muslim can barely log on to a computer.
As for our so-called “government”, it would appear that their computer skills are right up there with their ability to predict climate.
The fact that they have allowed even the most low level government business to be connected sans cryptos shows that their tech intelligence is right down there with the social “science” idiots and marshmallows.
True, there is true technical talent in the government. But talent cannot overcome corruption. And corruption rules in the lesser IQ departments of State, Justice, Supreme Court, and of course...the “civil” service (of losers).
I really am beginning to feel that there may be only one solution.
And it is not a pleasant one.
Aka ‘chatter’. The Russians will view it like the chatter we had just before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor..at any rate, if he does it, it will be an act of war. Unfortunately, obama brought a small wee wee to a pissing contest.
I was thinking, where are we going to find any competent IT folks to pull off this attack?
It seems a handful of foreign countries are reading all our gov’t comms in real time, and have access to top officials’ devices .
You would think that the Dem Nat Party wouldn’t be using a public bulletin board for their confidential planning and operations, but that is about what they are doing.
FBI and CIA are a joke, and the NSA couldn’t figure out how to reverse engineer that Iphone last year? Had to pay the Israelis, IIRC.
I am sure the planned cyber attack will be awe-shucks. Not anywhere near shock and awe.
I don’t think the idiot in the Whitehouse knows what “covert” means..
Here let me translate that for him “on the down low”
