I’ve got a lot bigger claim to fame than that.
But not only did I not do it here, I could not have done it here even if I had wanted to.
So I did it somewhere else, and rocked the world.
This place is OK for being tame and limited.
It’s not like FR didn’t have the opportunity to be influential; it could have been ahead of the anti-establishment curve by refusing to line up for McCain and Romney. It could have played a role in accelerating the process, and maybe saved us a term of Obama.
If you have a decent vector to spread my message on this issue, please do. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THIS 'REPORT' IS UTTER GARBAGE.
I'm, as Squantos put it, an SME on this topic (Subject Matter Expert).
Oh, to connect the dots: As regard the report they put out tonight, I wrote:
So, 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.
Please use whatever ‘juice’ you have, offsite, and get this message before as much of the public as you can.
Do tell!
