Today's triple-word selection was due to this:

President Obama Releases Ridiculous FBI Report on “Russian Malicious Cyber Activity”

I am a professional in this field, and upon reading the report, I wrote:


Ok.

I’m a computer developer with security programming training, specifically, Federal training.

THIS IS INDEED A LAME GARBAGE REPORT.

There is ZERO offered evidence any of this was Russian in origin, and merely details pretty industry-standard best practices and talks about very common attacks.

One particular one popped out at me: XSS. Cross Site Scripting. GOOD GOD, YOU PEOPLE HAVEN’T HARDENED AGAINST SIMPLE SCRIPT-KIDDY ATTACKS??? This attack is the simplest to carry out, and the simplest to defend against.

This ‘report’ is a litany of incompetance and half of the space is taken up with the industry’s ‘best practices’ in defending against attacks.

And not ONE LICK of evidence Russia was involved.

Not ONE LICK.

While you are absolutely correct, how many people will say the FBI would not lie about something like this? Far too many I suspect.

21 is the smallest number of differently sized squares needed to square the square.

We square on that?
