Games Organizers at Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Confirm Cyber Attack, Won't Reveal Source (reuters.com)
Pyeongchang Winter Olympics organizers confirmed on Sunday that the Games had fallen victim to a cyber attack during Friday's opening ceremony, but they refused to reveal the source. From a report: The Games' systems, including the internet and television services, were affected by the hack two days ago but organizers said it had not compromised any critical part of their operations. "Maintaining secure operations is our purpose," said International Olympic Committee (IOC) spokesman Mark Adams. "We are not going to comment on the issue. It is one we are dealing with. We are making sure our systems are secure and they are secure."
...the NORKS did it.
whatever, just suck my DAMN balls
The Norks.
Add some excitement to the boring winter so-called sports games. Curling? Snowboard? Skijump ... down a pair of tracks? The Agony of Defeat is no more. And that IS boring. So/.
NUKE THE NORKS!
If there were games for fat retarded traitors who can't actually do anything, Trump would take the gold. Instead he'll take a cozy prison cell for life. The system works.

Russia or North Korea?

This article is misleading people to believe that they already have attribution for this attack. While theyâ(TM)ve found Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and have chosen not to publish them this does not mean that they know who is behind the attacks. This can take time and will likely require collaboration with both govt intelligence and private sources.
I would have said Russia, but there's no evidence of collusion.
That last part is over-confidence. It's hard to know if one has plugged all breaches.

The Democrats won't lock up Trump for the same reason that the Republicans won't lock up Clinton.
Locking up failed POTUS tier politicians just because they've committed a crime would set a nasty precedent that neither party wants to set - the system would spiral down into one where politicians would all end up in prison at the end of the careers rather than giving speeches to Goldman Sachs for $300K a shot. Or, even worse from their perspective, one where elite politicians didn't act like they're completely above the law. The horror!
They're like two cats having a fight over who gets to fuck the female - they'll draw blood and maybe disable their opponent but they won't kill each other. The female in this analogy being you, the American voter.
But keep chanting 'Lock her/him up!' if it makes you feel empowered.

I noticed on TV that Mike Pence looked kind of upset during the opening ceremony.
^^ that was fat Hal_Porter again apologizing for treason and lying to investigators and obstruction of justice. He'll be blathering excuses for this until Trump dies in prison. Let's all have a moment of silence for his wasted life.
It's sad that he equates what Trump has provably done vs. what Clinton was actually accused of and never charged with because of the 'equal justice' tenet of our Republic. I guess like most Republicans left he's undereducated,
as he kind of wears his ignorance of reality like a magic cape or child's superhero outfit. This is how he'll spend his last few days on Earth, apologizing for a known traitor and yet convincing no one, not even himself really. Hollow.
In the end, Trump must be prosecuted because the obstruction evidence against him is already insurmountable to walk away from or sweep under any rug. It's over. You have weeks to pretend none of this matters, moron.
Weeks to days left for your fat ass to continue to tap dance for your racist troll and Russian chatbot compatriots, scumbag Hal. Then we'll once again be hearing your full-bellied whining we're so used to.
By the way fat snowflake Hal... the "democrats" aren't locking anyone up. Republican Bob Mueller is, along with a Grand Jury. Oh we're going there, buckle up bitch, and loosen your pants 'cuz you're about to get prison raped.
It's not obstruction unless there is a pending judicial proceeding
https://www.dailywire.com/news...
With the Trump-Russia collusion story all but debunked, the left has immediately turned to its next-stage scandal: they want President Trump locked up for "obstruction of justice." They base their claims of obstruction on the following chain of events: Trump hired National Security Advisor Michael Flynn against the advice of nearly everyone in the foreign policy community, fired him under questionable circumstances, then allegedly told FBI director James Comey he "hoped" Comey would find a way to let Flynn go, later fired Comey, and then finally told the Russian ambassador and foreign minister that he had fired Comey to relieve pressure over the Russia investigation.
This, in the minds of the left, means that Trump fired Comey in order to shut down the Flynn investigation after essentially ordering him to do so.
So, would that be "obstruction of justice," even if it were true?
Professor Alan Dershowitz of Harvard Law School says no. Dershowitz says, "The president could have told Comey, you are commanded, directed, to drop the prosecution against Flynn. The president has the right to do that. Comey acknowledges that. He says in the statement that historically, historically presidents have done that to the Justice Department."
It is unquestionably true that Trump has the absolute right to fire his FBI director. And the old, Supreme Court-protected Independent Counsel Act was allowed to die a decade and a half ago; that Act could have granted an independent counsel freedom from presidential firing, but it no longer exists. As Dershowitz also points out, Trump has pardon power, so he could have just pardoned Flynn outright.
With that said, the counter case goes something like this: if Trump wanted to fire Comey for failing to comply with his desires, he could have. Instead, he threatened him. That amounts to obstruction.
But that case is weak on a legal level. There are three separate federal laws, as The New York Times points out, that could deal with this situation. None clearly does.
1. 18 USC 1503: This "omnibus" clause covers "corruptly or...by any threatening letter or communication influenc[ing], or imped[ing] or endeavor[ing[ to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice." But the clause also requires a pending judicial proceeding - and as far as we are all aware, there is none. Furthermore, the Supreme Court is quite exacting on the application of this law - a prosecutor would need to prove that Trump's conduct materially impeded the investigation, which even Comey has said didn't happen.
2. 18 USC 1512(c): This provision of law covers anyone who "obstructs, influences, or impedes an official proceeding, or attempts to do so." It is not clear that an FBI investigation is an "official proceeding," and proving intent is difficult in any case. And it's not enough to show intent to violate the subsection - you have to take a "substantial step toward the accomplishment of that goal."
3. 18 USC 1519: This provision covers destroying evidence related to a federal investigation. There are no accusations that Trump destroyed evidence. Unless Trump had tapes and destroyed them, the statue simply doesn't apply.
None of this is to argue that Congress can't impeach. Congress can impeach for anything and everything - impeachment is a political matter, not a legal one. And even if Trump's activity wasn't illegal, that doesn't mean it was moral. But all the amateur legal analysts claiming that an indictment is just around the corner simply don't know what they're talking about.
Ironically one person who could be prosecuted under 18 USC 1519 is Hillary Clinton. And 18 USC 1519 doesn't require a pending prosecution - destroying evidence to stop a future prosecution is criminal.

they would LOVE to throw wrenches in the works now that relations between NK and SK are thawing. It would of course involve compromised machines or directing the attacks in a way that makes it look like NK, China, or possibly Russia were doing it.
Don't let America sow mistrust.
That's creimer projecting his problems onto the rest of the Slashdot audience.
APK
You're fat and there IS obviously a prosecution pending, moron. You can deny it right up until it happens I guess, but that's retarded even for you who asserted Silicon-Germanium was a pipe dream for foundries to use in chips.
You're a moron. And you're a fat moron.
Poor old creimer. Fat, toothless and sexually frustrated. And probably rather short of money too.
The same reason you suck Trump's tiny dick at every rhetorical opportunity, fat treason apologist cocksucker Hal Porter. By the way, they DO use Silicon-Germanium at foundries and have for a while now. You're a moron.
You'll say anything at all, but thankfully we'll all have the last laugh while you whine about Trump being carted off to prison, you fat stupid fuck lol. Enjoy your complicity with treason meanwhile. We'll be watching you forever.
Bite down on something, prepare yourself. Nazi faggots like you will get what's coming, oh and it's a long time coming.
Here we have still another attack that APK's work would have failed to prevent. I'm sure he is trying desperately to find a hosts file that someone created that stops this that he could pull down with his work so he can say he now stops it well after the attack.
Kim Yo Jong is evil personified. The fawning over her is nauseating.
PSA: Kim Jong Un's Sister Is Not Your New Fave Shade Queen. She's A Garbage Monster.
What the hell is wrong with you people?
1. She's believed to be part of the regime's Propaganda and Agitation Department...so she's prooooobably not trying to defect.
2. Speaking of family, Kim Jong Un is believed to have ordered the assassination of his own half brother, Kim Jong Nam.
3. The North Korean regime commits frequent public executions of its own citizens.
4. In fact, the North Korean regime actually enslaves many of its citizens.
5. The regime is one of the world's most repressive. It strips its citizens of all sorts of rights, including freedom of expression, freedom of information, and the freedom to move in and out of the country.
6. Kim Yo Jong's family literally runs gulags.
A United Nations inspector in 2013 spoke of "unspeakable atrocities" inflicted on political prisoners in North Korean camps.
Michael Kirby, a former Australian High Court judge, told the UN his team had heard testimony from a man who had been imprisoned in North Korea from birth, eating lizards, rodents, and grass to survive. One woman was forced to drown her own baby in a bucket.
7. Her brother's regime has been blamed for the death of US college student Otto Warmbier.
Otto Warmbier was detained in North Korea in January 2016 after he was accused of a "hostile act" while on a group tour. Warmbier was accused of stealing a poster at his hotel in Pyongyang, and sentenced to 15 years of prison and hard labor. After being held for 17 months, he was only extradited back to the US when he was in a coma. He died soon after.
Sen. John McCain has said Warmbier was "murdered" by North Korea. "In the final year of his life, he lived the nightmare in which the North Korean people have been trapped for 70 years: forced labor, mass starvation, systematic cruelty, torture, and murder," the Arizona Republican said.
8. She's part of a country that is, quite literally, threatening nuclear war against the US.
