U.S. Govt. Hackers Ready to Hit Back If Russia Tries to Disrupt Election
by Ken Dilanian, William M. Arkin and Cynthia McFadden
U.S. military hackers have penetrated Russia's electric grid, telecommunications networks and the Kremlin's command systems, making them vulnerable to attack by secret American cyber weapons should the U.S. deem it necessary, according to a senior intelligence official and top-secret documents reviewed by NBC News.
American officials have long said publicly that Russia, China and other nations have probed and left hidden malware on parts of U.S critical infrastructure, "preparing the battlefield," in military parlance, for cyber attacks that could turn out the lights or turn off the internet across major cities.
It's been widely assumed that the U.S. has done the same thing to its adversaries. The documents reviewed by NBC News ? along with remarks by a senior U.S. intelligence official ? confirm that, in the case of Russia.

ROTFL. Funny stuff. The Russians aren’t the problem. Illegal aliens and college maggots, snowflakes and twinkies who vote multiple times are the problem.
Seems to me that the FBI ought to be knocking on NBC News doors about now to ask where they got the top-secret documents that they reviewed?

There’s a far more likelihood that the dhimmicrats will disrupt the election than the Russians.
The lid of all the corruption and perversion will be blown off under President Trump. So what to do?
1) Steal it. May work, may lead to CW2. Downside of failure, being exposed and Day Of The Rope comes anyway.
2) WW3. Hide in bunkers with your Rothschilds and Soros. It’s a guaranteed loss but they get to live, and nobody will care about emails and spirit cooking when the world is Damnation Alley.
If you were the Clintons, what would you choose?
You know damn well, and so does Vlad.
Our government is remarkably dense. Any fool knows that the DNC and its Propaganda Ministry is the only entity that will tamper with the election. Geeze, they are soooooo stupid or just plain negligent of their Oath.
Aside from my 100% agreement that the U.S. red teams have superior tools, techniques, and protocols, the article is garbage. It’s hard to imagine anyone believing this tripe, but I’m sure it happens.
He’ll hear it for the next 8 years.
Remember “Bush Stole The election!”?
ugh..
The only government entity trying to disrupt the US election is the US government.
Obama and the Clintons assume Putin would do what they have done, repeatedly: rig the voting machines to get a prearranged outcome. Israel, West Bank, Gaza, Ukraine, the mid-term replacement of Khaddafi, etc. They should keep in mind the traditional recall method the Czechs have employed.
The Dims are afraid the Russians might set the machines to zero before voting begins. That would be a major disruption in Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Broward County, and Seattle.
LOL!
What a fake narrative!
Next, Hillary’s media will warn that there’s a ‘modem gap’... [I can’t remember what the ‘gap’ was in the Cold War, that makes me feel old.)
Some jamoke says we are going to kick ass, after we are overrun?
Better to repel an attack as it happens or before.
I wonder I’d the government is just saying the Russians want to hack into our voting system so that they can actually hack it if the results aren’t going their way?
Pretty sad state of affairs when I don’t trust our government over the Russians. But who has the most to lose if Trump wins?
They couldn’t even hack into the terrorists phone.
A bunch of bs talk. “IF Russia tries to disrupt”. The US has been blaming Russia for the past month of disruption.
Besides, Russia couldn’t give a rats arse what we think.
they are really obsessed about Russia.
I would suspect the Chinese first. After all, they have already played games with us by closing down the stock market and in other ways. They have proven they can beat us in cyber warfare, especially with Obama in office. The Chinese are the ones who have stolen or been given our military secrets by Clinton - remember?
