White House Confirms Chinese Cyberattack
New submitter clam666 writes "White House sources partly confirmed that U.S. government computers — reportedly including systems used by the military for nuclear commands — were breached by Chinese hackers. From the article: 'The attempted hack used 'spear phishing,' in which an attacker sends an email to a specific target that uses familiar phrases in hopes that the recipient will follow links or download attachments that unleash the hacker's malware. None of the White House's secure, classified computer systems were affected, said the official, who reached out to POLITICO after the Free Beacon story appeared — without having been asked for comment. Nor had there been any attempted breach of a classified system, according to the official.'"
You shouldn't be revealing this stuff.
Are you still under the delusion that the Politicians for the US Government or any of the 3 letter agencies really give a shit about the USA, or the people that live in the USA?
For anyone under this delusion, I can only ask you to look around. I'm not claiming that everyone working for these agencies is bad mind you, most I consider people that just want to do a job and get a pay check. The people running the shows however, are very bad people. I'm sure many people working at these agencies realize this, but fear opening their mouths for obvious reasons. We all saw what happened with a whistle blower in CA right? I mean, their house was raided, father was left to die having a heart attack. Of course their house was ransacked costing them money, they lost their job, and had to pay a fortune in legal fees. That's one of the few stories that made it to the public, and not an isolated incident.
Currently, we are pretty fucked. Way to many people sleeping through what's been going on, and those that are awake prefer complacency to action.
