The White House wants open borders, why not open hard drives?
Just F*****G peachy. What kind of idiots do we have running the IT systems there?
And for crap sakes, how about threatening the chicoms with major sanctions.
Okay, I keep reading about these stories. Why the f*ck are these computers hooked up to networks that have vulnerabilities? Secure intranets people...unplug these damn things from the Internet!
And things continue to get interesting. Does anyone else see this as a problem?
i believe in any hot confrontation with china, the US will suffer various network outages of varying degrees of severity and gravity.
Hopefully DoD is at least aware of the fact they need to plan for asymmetric cyberwarfare.
So, if the Chinese are so good at this, does it mean that all the people there are secretly on the internet, in spite of the government’s attempts at control?
And now the bridge on the ship of state will be commanded by a 1st term Senator with no experience to speak of who’s written two autobiographies before age 45 and is the product of the Daley Machine.
I’m really glad students, professors, and poor people elected this guy. Basically people who have yet to prove they are capable of taking care of themselves. Deciding what the American taxpayer will pay for. Ugh.
Chinese hack into White House networkThe jokes on them. In a few months the new President Hussein will hand them whatever they want, just for the asking.
If they’re patient, Obama will give them everything they want. He hates America.
oh s***
“US government cyber experts suspect the attacks were Sponsored by the Chinese government, although they cannot say for definite.”
Yes they can. Black hats working without consent of the chicoms would get shut down fast and hard. This isn’t spoofing or somebody using a node in Beijing. This is PLA/MSS.
But the Chicoms would be stupid NOT to run Intrusion OPS/hax. If they get in they get some datas without ANY fear of retribution from the US Government. If they fail they fail and Uncle Sam keeps it nice and quiet..so what.
I doubt this.
I know what operating system the White House backbone runs on, and it’s not Windows.
We really need two separate networks for the Government and Military. Sensitive data shouldn’t be on networks with access to the public Internet.
Bomb them
And there is the problem. With morons like these running the networks, it is no wonder they are breached. You do not need continued access. Get in once and plant a logger program and that is all you need.
They have probably been doing it for ages.
This is why they have crypto devices.
Due to Democrat tactics of scare mongering and lawsuits against the early Bush presidency, the idea was not accepted. Now with Obama in, we have no hope for it's adoption.
You have to think that the US and other western governments are doing the same thing to the chinese because so little is said publicly about these incidents.
