It is a darn shame the way Trump carried on with Putin.

See that guy, there. He has been Chairman of the KGB. I don't know if he still is, but, he was for a long time. He has more USA computer codes than the USA does. You want to know why? Because Trump gave them to him and then he went about not only using USA codes but, installing his own codes on USA agency files.

I have no doubt there are break-ins all the time, but, it isn't because the GRU is clever so much as good students of a captured American called Edward Snowden and also the Russian's good friend Donald John Trump. It is a mess and now the Democrats will come into office and clean it up.

Officials said a hunt was on to determine if other parts of the government had been affected by what looked to be one of the most sophisticated, and perhaps among the largest, attacks on federal systems in the past five years. Several said national security-related agencies were also targeted, though it was not clear whether the systems contained highly classified material.

The Trump administration said little in public about the hack, which suggested that while the government was worried about Russian intervention in the 2020 election, key agencies working for the administration — and unrelated to the election — were actually the subject of a sophisticated attack that they were unaware of until recent weeks....
