WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson says hackers breached the computer network in his Washington office, but didn't access any classified information.

[prismsinc]

Great way to excuse yourself from answering emails and phone calls Nelson, you effing jerk.

[driftdiver]

I would really like to know what this bozo does.

[BGHater]

Not the first time with Nelson, probably the Chinese.

"U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson says hackers breached the computer network in his Washington office, but didn't access any classified information."

And just how would he know? Perhaps if he didn't visit porn sites with the office computer he wouldn't make the office computer guru mad at him for picking up all those Trojans floating around those sites.

[He who knoweth not his name]

RLY?, they just wanted that peanut butter cookie recipe...

[screaminsunshine]

Uh Oh...They hacked the Hack.

"I would really like to know what this bozo does.

I think he spends way too much time in some plastic surgeon's office. Doesn't his face seem awkward and artificial?

[Frantzie]

Nelson is an idiot. He and Mel Martinez are not qualified to be dog catcher.

[ThreePuttinDude]

Bullchips, he just wants a little attention

Bills a frakin media ho’
needs some news time

[FourPeas]

A spokesman said Friday that classified information isn't kept on office computers.

Whereas I'm glad to read this, I'd guess the hackers weren't after the specific information on office PCs, but rather passwords that would give them access to more "interesting" systems.

[Paladin2]

The collective mind of the Senate has been hacked. Why not their computers too?

[Brilliant]

“My computers were hacked. But don’t worry... They did not get any of your credit card numbers. Just some nuclear bomb plans.”

[tiki]

Avoid his constituents.

I was thinking the other day, how come if we have a representative government our representatives only represent themselves first and the party line second and rarely their constituents.

[brytlea]

Yeah, they don’t seem to answer my emails when I send them (Wexler sure doesn’t).

[capydick]

[Americanexpat]

He wants a cyber security czar. Thats why he is complaing they want to create another office staffed with people who don’t do anything. I thought this kind of stuff would be under Homeland Security?

[martinidon]

“but didn’t access any classified information”

Uh, what kind of classified information would be on his computer network; DNC talking points.....

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Probably O-Dawg’s non-indicted Egyptian, Turk and Paki Information Security experts checking on Bill’s loyalty.

SNIPPET: “CHINA
Chinese Hackers Target Senate Computers

Cyber hackers believed to be based in China have tapped three times into the computer network in US Sen. Bill Nelson’s office, the Florida Democrat said Friday.
Two attacks on the same day this month and another one last month targeted work stations used by three Nelson staffers — a key foreign-policy aide, the deputy legislative director and a former Nelson NASA advisor, according to Nelson’s staff.”

I agree with you & will be glad when both are gone.
