Hacking Back: Military hackers in the United States have been given the green light to launch attacks against Russian cyber systems if U.S. intelligence detects any attempts by Moscow to meddle in the midterm elections on Tuesday.
Yahoo News reports that the intelligence community and the Pentagon have quietly agreed upon outlines of a cyber offensive the U.S. would launch if Russian election interference is found, according to senior officials who are aware of the plan.
If Russian electronic meddling is detected, American cyber warriors would gain access to Russian cyber systems very quickly.

Picked up on this election meddling narrative today on the LameSM(cnn/msnbc).
Looks like they are laying ground work for a loss
Whatta bout China?
S0r0$?
CPUSA?
Whatta bout CNN?
Prediction: Any Democrat failure will be attributed to .... RUSSIA.
And not because the Democrats have no real valid plans, ideas, etc. Democrats only promote insurrection, riots, rages and violence.
These are the values of the Democratic Party.
A vote for a Democrat is a vote to destroy what’s left of the U.S.A.
Or Soros?
A few observations:
(1) Their definition of “meddling” is vague.
(2) The far greater threat is meddling from Silicon Valkey leftists.
How about tackling Palo Alto, Mt. View, Austin, and Redmond?
As a free speech activist, I am somewhat concerned with definitions in all of this.
Election “meddling” means what, exactly? Broadcasting opinions designed to influence outcomes? How is that to be construed as meddling?
Are you meddling in Canadian elections when you type words to a Canadian political forum such as “soy boy Justin T” or is that just one person’s opinion as part of a larger discussion (in which a thousand Canadians post, “soy boy Juthtin T” because we’re more aware of the lisp.)
So if some Russian internet blogger, even if Putin may be hovering over his shoulder with a big old grin, types in nasty comments about HRC or DJT or anyone else, so what? If we are not predisposed to accept those comments, will they not just blast on by us like all the other white noise in our daily internet experience?
I said I liked Trump’s chances in October 2016, will the Congress come after me now? I don’t really get where the boundary between free speech and espionage lies in all of this. People naturally have opinions about the world around them, expecting each country to put a fence up to keep outside opinions from reaching the citizens is not only impractical, it violates every principle of free speech.
And so what if there is an objective behind the commentary? It would be pointless to comment on anything without an objective.
Empty his accounts!
See #3 ;-)
What about the UK?
It appears to me that Christopher Steele and other Brits did more to meddle in the 2016 elections than all Russians combined.
