(CISA Alert (AA20-352A))Advanced Persistent Threat Compromise of Government Agencies, Critical Infrastructure, and Private Sector Organizations
us-cert.cisa.gov ^ | 12/17/2020 | CISA

Summary

This Alert uses the MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK®) version 8 framework. See the ATT&CK for Enterprise version 8 for all referenced threat actor tactics and techniques. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is aware of compromises of U.S. government agencies, critical infrastructure entities, and private sector organizations by an advanced persistent threat (APT) actor beginning in at least March 2020. This APT actor has demonstrated patience, operational security, and complex tradecraft in these intrusions. CISA expects that removing this threat actor from compromised environments will be highly complex and challenging for organizations.

One of the initial access vectors for this activity is a supply chain compromise of the following SolarWinds Orion products (see Appendix A).

Orion Platform 2019.4 HF5, version 2019.4.5200.9083 Orion Platform 2020.2 RC1, version 2020.2.100.12219 Orion Platform 2020.2 RC2, version 2020.2.5200.12394 Orion Platform 2020.2, 2020.2 HF1, version 2020.2.5300.12432

My news about the SCOTUS docket also got dumped in the chat ghetto this morning post haste. I’ll leave article posting to the two or three freepers who do it constantly. Less work for me.

It seems we have no counter-attack available. However, that doesn’t sound like Donald Trump.

WHO KNOWS???????????

“Reconsider travel to the People’s Republic of China (PRC), including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), due to arbitrary enforcement of local laws.”

That’s the 2nd highest alert level, the only one higher is “Do Not Travel”

Dated Dec. 17, 2020”

Nuclear weapons agency breached amid massive cyber onslaught

Hackers accessed systems at the National Nuclear Security Administration, which maintains the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.

Remember this?

Three days AFTER the election?

Lisa Gordon-Hagerty resigns as chief of nuclear weapons agency

NNSA safeguards the physical integrity of our nuclear warheads.

Our ‘public servants’/deep state thugs spend their time watching porn, selling us out to China and writing grievance complaints... They’re way too important to do their damn jobs.

A few weeks ago xi jinping was telling his thugs to prepare for war... I didn't think he was talking about 'with us' as the time. Do you remember that?
