BUT…BUT…BUT…THE RUSSIANS?
This is pretty scary stuff. A federal government agency run by an Obama crony attempting to penetrate the firewall of a State agency tasked with overseeing the elections? What conceivable reason could Obama’s DHS have for hacking the Georgia Sec of State’s office after the election?
Georgia’s secretary of state has claimed the Department of Homeland Security tried to breach his office’s firewall and has issued a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson asking for an explanation.
Brian Kemp issued a letter to Johnson on Thursday after the state’s third-party cybersecurity provider detected an IP address from the agency’s Southwest D.C. office trying to penetrate the state’s firewall. According to the letter, the attempt was unsuccessful.
And now, Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Aaron Diamond has learned two more states’ election agencies have confirmed suspected cyberattacks linked to the same U.S. Department of Homeland Security IP address as last month’s massive attack in Georgia.
The two states reporting the suspected cyberattacks were West Virginia and Kentucky.
“We need somebody to dig down into this story and figure out exactly what happened,” said Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp.
In the past week, the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office has confirmed 10 separate cyberattacks on its network over the past 10 months that were traced back to DHS addresses.
“We’re being told something that they think they have it figured out, yet nobody’s really showed us how this happened,” Kemp said. “We need to know.”
He says the new information from the two other states presents even more reason to be concerned.
“So now this just raises more questions that haven’t been answered about this and continues to raise the alarms and concern that I have,” Kemp said.

It could have simply been the simplest of things, like a port scan or a ping.
We need to hear more about this before jumping to conclusions. Anyone can do a port scan of any website. Try it yourself with “Shields Up.”
Everyone should test their home routers, anyway. It’s harmless.
We’ll never see these stories in the mainstream FAKE NEWS.
This is starting to sound like the “blame it on the video” for Benghazi excuse.

NATIONAL ELECTION REFORM is a MUST
Shame on the GOP for letting this crap fester for decades.
Pooty-Poot made ol’ Jeh! do it.
Looks that way, for sure.
Thx
Would not be surprised if this was an effort to discredit GOP votes.
Well, Georgians are liars!

Interesting site...do you recommend any of their freeware?
Just like with the IRS scandal they will blame it on some rogue employee in a field office...
Why would they hack WV? It wasn’t within a light year of going for cankles.
Is DHS a pro-Putin group?
Lois Lerner is still laughing her ass off at us.
Can’t be DHS. Every news source, all the Sunday talking heads, and most of the Sunday funnies all say it was the Russians what did it.
Steve Gibson really helped a lot of people. Interestingly, he was also a columnist for the industry publication, “Info World.”
