WASHINGTON — Over the past few years, the U.S. government has spent tens of billions of dollars on cyberoffensive abilities, building a giant war room at Fort Meade, Maryland, for U.S. Cyber Command, while installing defensive sensors all around the country — a system named Einstein to give it an air of genius — to deter the nation’s enemies from picking its networks clean, again.

AND no way to protect against malicious code injection by the multiple parties, worldwide, who are building their management suite.
And that suite connects to every device in the network via SNMP V2 "Securely". Pulling User and Machine IDs (necessary for both QoS and NAC)...enabling administrative access to every connected machine, switch, router, security device/firewall, Authentication/Directory server etc.
Hack of the century, so far. And somebody has to fry for it.
Many will focus on the NYT's Russia Russia Russia and anti-Trump characterizations. But when they emote, they will fail to understand the breadth and depth of this attack.
Because they didn’t read about it in Yahoo! news first.
What do you expect from a govt that is so incompetent that it actually makes it possible to access secret data on the world wide web? Seriously. This is moronic beyond comprehension and proof of how abysmally stupid these people are who are supposed to be caretakers of the public trust.
It’s China that’s attacking us. The media still is covering for China and their Manchurian Candidates, Biden and Harris.
Government is so inept and swampy that it would take Trump working the rest of his life and then some just to make a tiny dent in it. We’d have to build many more prisons.
Well,
That’s because that is all the old folks in senior levels know (1947 - 1989) many former military or other gov...
Besides, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Walmart would be upset if we look at the Chinese to much. They’re our friends, in case you didn’t know.
Yawn.
It’s bullshit spouted by psychotics.
157 Trillion. The nation is done. Save yourselves.
billions to the CIA each year and they failed to foresee the collapse of the soviet union?
bunch of yahoo’s
The solarwinds thing is no joke. I don’t know who did it, but they did it.
makes sense...obviously the Democrat Party has changed its name to ....RUSSIAN Party!!!!
> SNMP V2
Owww. Way back in the day (decades ago) I was writing BER level code to integrate this with databases. There ain’t no modern security in there.
They are still “assessing impact” lol
In other words, coming up with a plausible BS story to cov4er their collective ass.
And where the hell was the vaunted NSA?
“There ain’t no modern security in there.”
It’s handled at the next layer up, Network Access Control.
Or, should be.
But if the master SNMP platform is compromised, you have everything. All of it.
The problem with cyber is that what you spent over the past few years isn't meaningful Training, yes. Everything else is going to get dated ... fast! You need to be spending constantly to stay ahead of the curve, and not just on defensive measures. To play defense you must thoroughly understand offense. And you need to spend to reinvent both all the time or you get left behind.
Please tell me this is a joke...
