    Trump remains silent as massive cyber hack posses 'grave risk ' to government
    The title of the article says it all.
    Why are we good Patriotic Americans not surprised! This "POTUS" is the same guy who trashed and schiested on our Intel agencies in Helsinki while publicly stated that Putin told him he did not interfere in our election and this "POTUS" said he had no reason why Putin would interfere.

    Our "POTUS" will not even condemn an enemy of our country, why?

    Isn't this the moral equivalent of treason and dereliction of duty? I think so does any other patriotic American think so?

    Matched only by his silence on the Covid pandemic killing hundreds of thousands of American citizens.

    What's he supposed to say right now and if he did you guys would just attack him for doing so instead of the experts. BTW we know exactly what happened here we will be into a Biden administration, perhaps he should answer as to what he will do.

    It's good thing the Russians couldn't get to Pompeo's private and unguarded server. But, if that happened Democrats wouldn't care.

    So if Trump doesn't say anything... bad. Do we know if actions are being taken behind the scenes? Yes... they automatically occur.

    Well, you can be a partisan shill/hack, or acknowledge the fact that POTUS, ANY POTUS, named Obama, Clinton, Trump, etc., or anyone else involved in a federal data breach, is not beholden to talk about it in public while it is ongoing due to national security issues.

    I hate to use this almost prematurely-hackneyed comparison, but it's so true: if this had happened under Obama! The two, yawning posters preceeding me would have taken a very different tone, without a doubt. Hell, if it happens under Biden, our now semi-napping Peanut gallery will be wide awake & giddily chatting it up.

    I wish the article you posted didn't reach a toll so soon, as I've been wanting to find out more about the bug, but no one's being very specific yet; perhaps they're unsure, themselves. What I have heard is that the infectors could potentially CONTROL the systems they've infected.

    It is astounding what Trump supporters are fine with, as long as it's happening under their man. Especially when it would have been so easy to point to this as an example that Trump was right about the incompetence of our intelligence services; the argument then becoming over whether or not Trump's involvement with those services (through firings, transfers, & the like) had caused their decline, instead of over how big of a deal this cyber attack really is; and I think it's being described as the most invasive, & potentially compromising, ever.

    A cyber attack is an attack and any POTUS and saying that we are vigilant to such attacks is not giving away and national security issues. Should FDR has not mentioned the named Pearl Harbor or should Bush not have mention the World Trade towers? Your excuse just does not make sense.

    Great points all. You must realize that Trumpmattacked our own Intell agencies because they all 16 -17 of them said that Russian at least tried to influence the 2016 election. That affected Trump's ego since it alluded to the fact that he did not win in 2016 by himself. Trump fired people in the Intel positions and negatively impacted the moral of those agencies.

    Why, just because I am patriotic and want our POTUS to do his job and be the chief spokesman for national security?

    Let me help you. The US requires backdoors one way or the other into everything so they can spy...errrr I mean "execute warrants". As long as they mandate a way in, hackers will find a way in too.

    He did. He said security will be a priority. We only have one president at a time and there are still 33 odd days left in which this current POTUS can continue not giving a Schiest about our country.

    You sound like if CNN said that the sun rises in the East you would say no it rises in the North quoting Brietbart or QANON.

    Trump has left the room.
    His brain is completely consumed with his loss at the polls.

    Time for him to put Pence in charge and get his pardons. He is worthless.

    He's always BEEN worthless.

    For all the stupidity of trump and the harm he cause the country.

    Nothing is worse than getting the gov't hacked by Russia. Right under his nose.
    I don't think there's another person alive that could make America fall so fast.

    tRUMP let Russia hack our system.

    ...
    But the CISA, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, offered a broad overview in its latest comments. The agency noted the attack began around March and is still ongoing — meaning the malware that's been placed on computers may still be capturing valuable information.

    How much damage can Russia do?

    President Trump hasn't made any public mention of the hack.

    The hackers targeted software from SolarWinds, a company based in Austin, Texas. Many federal agencies and thousands of companies use SolarWinds' Orion software to monitor their computer networks.

    CISA issued an emergency directive on Sunday, telling federal agencies "to immediately disconnect or power down affected SolarWinds Orion products from their network."

    How did this happen?
