The Next President Will Face a Cybercrisis Within 100 Days, Predicts Report (cnbc.com)
The next president of the United States will face a cybercrisis within 100 days, predicts report from analysts at Forrester. The crisis could come as a result of hostile actions from another country or internal conflict over privacy and security legislation, said Forrester analyst Amy DeMartine, lead author of the firm's top cybersecurity risks for 2017 report, due to be made public Tuesday. From a report on CNBC:History grades a president's first 100 days as the mark of how their four-year term will unfold, so those early days are particularly precarious, said DeMartine. The new commander in chief will face pressure from foreign entities looking to embarrass them early on, just as U.S. government agencies jockey for position within the new administration, she said. Cyberwarfare between Russia and the U.S. will escalate, and the U.S. government will respond in 2017, said DeMartine. [...] Chinese government hacking will continue in 2017, despite a joint agreement not to conduct cybertheft of intellectual property. The massive U.S. Office of Personnel Management breach, which exposed the records of millions of U.S government workers, has strained diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China, since the U.S. believes Chinese spies carried out the attack. Countries like North Korea and Iran have been building capabilities for offensive purposes and will likely try to hack public and private databases, said DeMartine.
easy fix,
tell nsa to stop hacking citizens and focus on outside threats.
Hillary's e-mails on the Wiener's laptop will be exposed
A fine is a tax you pay for doing wrong and a tax is a fine you pay for doing all right.
She's already more than 100 days ahead of Trump with her cybercrisis.
Have gnu, will travel.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans thought that being even a little bit computer-savvy would be useful for the POTUS. This means that the decisions made by either will likely be either 100% trusted to aides, or made by "feel". Furthermore, both these candidates have expressed an interest in increased surveillance, weakened encryption, etc. Seriously, how do you think this'll play out?

Either history is a lot more retarded than it used to be, or you're talking about the media and not history.

as if systemic racism and poverty,
warrantless surveillance,
the continued existence of a foreign torture prison,
holding 25% of the worlds incarcerated,
an openly corrupt presidential candidate with a rigged delegate process,
a complete mistrust of the concept of climate change,
a guerilla war machine directly resultant from two failed wars of interventionist policy,
two back to back government shutdowns
a complete inability to elect members to its supreme court
and a secret drone-war werent enough to discredit the mere idea of American Exceptionalism(c), it appears as though the haggard burro of liberty and freedom can only be brought to its knees by a "cyber crisis," whatever the hell that could be.
Good people go to bed earlier.
Ironically, there may be something to what you say. The dodgy Clinton email server is the one thing that apparently has not hacked. State department? Yes. DNC? Check.

If it's Clinton; she's facing a cyber-crisis _already_.
Naw. Obama will pardon her after the election, stating that it doesn't imply guilt.
He'll say "it just needs to be over".
