Hacker Leaks Michelle Obama's Passport (nypost.com)
The hacker who leaked Colin Powell's private email account last week has struck again. This time they have hacked a low-level White House staffer and released a picture of Michelle Obama's passport, along with detailed schedules for top U.S. officials and private email messages. New York Post reports: The information has been posted online by the group DC Leaks. The White House staffer -- who also apparently does advance work for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign -- is named Ian Mellul. The released documents include a PowerPoint outline of Vice President Joe Biden's recent Cleveland trip, showing his planned route, where he'll meet with individuals and other sensitive information, according to the Daily Mail. In an email to The Post, the hacker writes, "The leaked files show the security level of our government. If terrorists hack emails of White House Office staff and get such sensitive information we will see the fall of our country." The hacker adds, "We hope you will tell the people about this criminal negligence of White House Office staffers."
Yeah, I totally believe you're an American. Totally. Look, this is my not-being-sarcastic face.
"You abandoned me! You abandoned my hatred!" "I... I have cuttlefish..."
Only 5 years? No middle name? Seems suspicious.
I suppose all of these stupid hacks make us all more security conscious. That's good.... right?
My eyes reflect the stars and a smile lights up my face.
This is how it should be. Organizations need to embarrassed and publicly shamed for having lousy security. Otherwise they will never fix it (see also: linkedin, yahoo, verizon, etc). If they don't fix their security, terrorists win.
Irresponsible disclosure is responsible
Hold on, why is she allowed to smile on her passport? This is bullshit
>> The White House staffer -- who also apparently does advance work for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign -- is named Ian Mellul.
The one thing the dox's have in common is that they show the Democratic party trying to have a democracy/debate-free transition of power from Obama to Clinton. And this dual-employed "staffer" would seem to fit the profile.
The group most pissed about the attempted coronation has been Bernie supporters, i.e., anyone leaning left and under 45. That also happens to be most of the IT security gurus I know. (The rest tend to be intelligent and right-leaning and have therefore tuned out both remaining candidates.) So...why are people trying to say "the Russians" when it seems more likely that the hackers are Bernie supporters ticked off that the Democrats kneecapped the only viable progressive in a generation?
It's not real.
You are welcome on my lawn.
I like the way you make points. You just say stuff, and it sounds right to you, so it must be a good theory. Because you're smart, and you see the world the way it is.
"Old man yells at systemd"
This along with the huge Yahoo email hack, maybe repurpose IBM-360s? I don't think those beasts were ever hacked. Yeah, just being sarcastic as only way for me to vent about all these hacks.

Sorry, it was the White House that made Cheddar Mussolini the Republican nominee?

All of these lootings and BLM assclowns wouldn't be doing this if a white Republican were in office. Were I in charge, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. OUt come the snarling 120 lb German Shepherds. Let's see how quickly these dumb niggers learn not to loot.
Some riots during the GWB presidency:

Cincinnati riots of 2001
Benton Harbor riots (see 2003)
Miami FTAA Protests
2004 American League Championship Series (wow sports riots!)
Civil disturbances and military action in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
2005 Toledo riot (Neo-Nazi's!)
San Bernardino punk riot (more Neo-Nazis!)
2007 MacArthur Park rallies (Go police riot!)

You start okay, because yeah many of us are fed up with a political class running ram-shod over the rest of us so that they can work toward their global domination agenda. Obama's UN speech made it clear that he does not care as much about sovereignty as he does about that agenda. The "We" in his speech that need to make sacrifices to support that end do not include him and the political class who has been wiping their ass with the US Constitution for decades. You in Europe are not much better off, but in fairness we have lost much more liberty because we had more.
Then, you go off to the deep end. Most intellectuals working in security are for personal Liberty, which is the exact opposite of Sanders. That leaves us with Trump as the only hope, which does not have great odds but it's better than a very well known liar. Sanders attracted crusaders who are not well educated in history, not the students of history. Sanders was shat upon, but that was in the cards when he was chosen to run against her. He got a decent retirement plan for his efforts, he's not too worried. People who followed him on the other hand found the system to be corrupt and many have dropped out. Study Communist transformation, and you will see that demoralizing the populace is requirement in large doses. This crap was well known 50 years ago and published by defecting KGB agents.
Why do people say "Russians"? That is a multi-part answer. The easiest is that it takes people's eyes away from the wrong doing you started with. Will this double dipping person face any penalty for shafting tax payers? Will the people who employed her? Obama is running around on Tax payer dollars for Hillary fundraisers and campaign purposes. But hey, look at those stinky Russians.
I'll grant you that the game is complex, but it's not "that" complex if you focus on the team playing. They own the media and own most politicians, and it's a club that you can't join.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
If we're going to just make shit up with no evidence, why not say it was aliens?
How is it that we can have everything on the Democrats hacked, *everything*, but not one little thing comes out from the RNC? I find that highly suspicious.
Perhaps the RNC is paying someone or is colluding with the Soviets to hack the election.
If only Anonymous could obtain Trump's taxes to even the score a bit...

Well, you probably live in an old-school Republic precinct. The kind of town where folks at they Y thoughtfully leave their back issues of Rich Protestant Golfer magazine behind so others will have something to read on the treadmill. The kind of place where you serve your guests drinks in the living room, not on the kitchen table. Good people, but sometimes a little obtuse about how the other 80% live.
Trump locked down the non-traditionals, and the rest of the Republicans were splitting the traditional R vote a dozen ways. Add to that primary rules that were written to favor early front runners. Those rules worked like a charm: instead of the agony of prolonged uncertainty the party suffered the agony of premature certainty.

We are really sorry for your virility issues.
Maybe Trump's company didn't use the lowest bidder on all of their IT projects.
Maybe it was Russians, maybe it was Bernians. Since we don't know which, let's use a term which includes both - communists.
SORRY but this is a FAKE! Look at the issue and expiration dates.... It shows it's only good for 5 years. REAL U.S. Adult passports are good for 10 years!
The Truth is a Virus!!!
The head of the FBI has stated that this year they "are gathering the data" for an "intelligent conversation" next year about "encryption". I think this type of story should be catalogued, indexed, made available for that conversation. Add to that the just revealed 500 Million account hack at Yahoo. Encrypted files would have made these vacuum cleaner jobs a bit harder ...cm

They a Capital One card?
That is a nice smile. She must have some special privileges to be able to smile on passport photo. Unlike us mere mortals that are forever grumpy looking on our photos.
What's the problem?
True. When there were four or five candidates vying for the Republican nomination, all beat Clinton in head-to-head polling, except Trump. The primary voters chose the candidate who may be worse than Clinton.
I sure would like to see a good president again. I don't even care too much whether it's a good Democrat or a good Republican. Kennedy or Reagan, either would be a huge improvement over this year's choices and the last few presidents. For younger people, the best president of their lifetime is a guy who simply didn't do much, gpod or bad. A president who spent most of his time chasing women and trying to cover up his womanizing. Sad.

Yeah, but at least while Bush was President we didn't have any damn terrorists.
Aside from 9/11. Or the smaller follow up. LAX shootup too. Which is why we need to focus on them A-rabs and profile more. Profiling has never failed to turn up a bad A-rab and they are aLWAYS the bad guys.
Except for the anthrax letters, or the first couple 'pox issues too. Oh, and that sniper, he turned out to be black. And not alone. But otherwise, ITS ALWAYS LONE WOLF ARABS and totally Obummer's fault!
Wait a minute... since when were you allowed to smile in a passport photo?
I had to resubmit my passport application once because the photo provided apparently involved a smirk. Really not kidding.
Or do what Hilliary did and set up their own server. For all of the fuss that was made about it, she was never actually hacked and most of the emails were eventually released by the state department to anyone who wanted to see them. Goes to show that using government servers doesn't guarantee anything, and that's not even considering people like Snowden.
The contractors don't get much funding after suggesting correctly everyday police work will uncover the insider.
With experts pushing Russia, China in the press, contractors can request huge new software support rentals and hardware investments, bid for ongoing gov staff training.
Then upgrades and a new generation of security related software and hardware will keep that ubiquitous Skilled Bear v 3.0 out of any gov network.
Academic grants to study other nations educational structures, write reports on the kind of code patterns their best university graduates will be unable to hide.
Having a real nation as the origin to show political leaders is a corporate and academic funding dream. Suggesting a local police effort to find an insider will get a real result but no big contracts or grants.
So expect a lot of people online with a mil, gov background to be pushing early and wild stories about traces of code, other nations ip ranges, time zones, logs been found.
Why let a cyber crisis to go to waste and not cash in on decades of no bid federal cyber funding by suggest police interview a few staff members?
