Re "where is the proof that the hack actually happened?"
The part about "Since the implanted chips were designed to ping anonymous computers on the internet for further instructions, operatives could hack those computers to identify others who’d been affected."?
Really smart people with investigative skills in the USA followed the "internet" use back from the chips?
The problem with the discovery of the extra chip is the need to use the internet to send back the data.
Advanced AV and firewalls along with really skilled staff selected on merit are going to notice that "extra" data moving out from deep in their secure networks.
Thats why most advanced nations have resort to different methods to collect their data.
1. Short distance data transmission thats not on the internet.
2. Staff/visitors/friends/a person with split loyalty on the inside to collect data later in a way that's never detected as an outgoing internet connection.
3. The use of a PRISM like big brand understanding to move the data out.
What could have happened?
1. NSA and GCHQ found the chips early and often and then created vast amounts of junk information to see how the networks and chips sent the junk data out.
2. The clandestine services found the chip and have been using it for their own missions but did not stop it as it was a free spying tool.
3. Very different and unexpected nations found the chips and have been using it as a free spy tool.
4. Criminals, faith groups, cults, ex and former clandestine services staff and groups doing industrial espionage have found the chip and used it for their own data collection?
5. National police forces found the chips and wanted to try a way to get around crypto.
The real fail with this is having to use the internet and never get detected.
Smart people with real skills will notice extra data on their secure networks.
The need for really great NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) suits and the skills needed to work with that perfectly all the time is the problem.
The heat and weight of such systems and the need for the best filters that work 100% all the time.
For the USA to use bioweapons would need a very skilled and well trained military.
The average IQ, health, fitness, strength and numbers of a skilled troops the USA cannot cover the skills needed.
The USA cant keep up with the needed numbers of fit smart people to fill its conventional special forces.
The storage of existing bioweapons in labs for "testing" is difficult enough.
Bioweapons don't really give a win needed. A nations own troops will have to move over the same land that "bioweapons" got used in and then risk doing clean up.
Thats a huge waste of time and effort to remove all traces of bioweapons to win. With any break down in protection resulting in a total loss of confidence.
Using economic methods to reduce the productive capacity of a nation would be a use of "bioweapons". That does not need all of a nations troops in NBC suits.
Authors who get approval to write histories of the intelligence services can get support and approval to about 1950.
Thats without names and most methods still staying classified.
Political documents that should get released after 30-50 years still all get reviews for any publication of methods.
In 2018 we get to read along with real time discovery in the news?
Re "My impression is that spycraft is a use-it or lose-it skill."
Real "spycraft" and methods don't get declassified for decades. Nobody would allow methods to enter publication or approve such publication.
Reading about spycraft in the West in real time is not going to be anything to do with spycraft.
Soviet fleet? Naval brigades? GRU is a military intelligence agency. Not much use risking using a military intelligence agency for international intrigue.
Much better spies exist for international intrigue that have decades of better institutional expertise in the West.
When talking about another nations intelligence service select one that could might have international spying experts related to the activity.
Military intelligence service is now so free for time it has ability to get into the pastime of sport?
Who would use military intelligence service for international spy networks for sport?
When a nations spies it uses its best spies with the best change of never getting detected.
Why task a military intelligence service for a role they are not experts in?
The West is fixated on the GRU for some reason. Its not the intelligence service that would be used internationally for "sport".
They have NATO tanks to count and advanced drones to watch for.
Not all data has to move for a mission in the USA.
Moving data shows an interest in something.
The other win is just getting deep into complex networks at any time for any reason. The ability to look and search in real time without getting noticed.
Generations of fans will review a bad movie and tell the world about their thoughts. In real time using social media.
The real reviews by fans are shared and linked and show what the bad movie is all about.
Reviews did not make the bad political movie script the way it was.
What good reviews?
1. Write a great script and listen to the fans who will be happy to support a movie they enjoy.
Use the fan base. They really want to write good reviews and tell the world how much they liked a new movie.
A bad script and bad movie will not get good reviews. Find better people with real skills to make a much better movie.
2. Stay within what the fans want, expect and what the surrounding fiction supports.
Got a lot of past movies, books, comics surrounding the movie? Make sure the new movie fits with what is expected, published and understood. The fans can recall it all and will tell the world about what was done wrong.
3. Understand what has been published and what other movies had that audiences enjoyed.
4. Don't add strange new political topics that don't fit with years of past plots.
5. Understand who the movies is getting seen by. Dont add political topics that don't add to the story for that wider audience.
Want to make a new political space movie? Do it as a totally new project and see how it sells and reviews.
1. Stop allowing 2009 consumer operating systems to store unencrypted data.
2. Ensure any AV software approved is still working and gets needed updates in 2019.
3. Use tested and trusted encryption on networks so any data accessed is useless.
4. Hire staff on merit so they have the computer skills to look after the networks they are responsible for.
The road side equipment collecting driver face, passenger face, cell phone and a front/back license plate reader along main US roads will get noticed.
A chat down citizenship question to get induce voice print? Cell phone collection?
People upload video clips about the amount of innovative and new gov/law enforcement digital collection they see on the side of their main roads.
Put some of that collect it all equipment in more normal looking trailer-mounted speed displays and fewer questions are asked.
With federal NN rules removed local communities would have had the ability to construct their own new networks.
Walled communities, new business could have really escaped NN rules on what a network was and designed innovative new networks.
With more NN rules it will be back to paper insulated wireline network. The exisiting gov approved and regulated NN networks.
Re: "best candidate for the job instead of meeting quotas"
The idea is to get everything reflecting the wider diversity in the surrounding community.
Getting a job is now reflecting a quota of diversity from the surrounding communities. No need for the best candidate.
Work then becomes more further education and a place for new staff to learn about what working is about.
Long term that is not good for any competitive free market nations exports and ability to further innovate.
Nations that support fully their best candidates will do much better as their workers will be much more productive when working.

No need to find workers as robots are always ready for work.
Robots do not push up wages.
Advanced computer sorting of what is farmed.
Great new jobs looking after the robots.
... for the federal government. Did it work?
Anyone? Anyone? The F?
Five eyes gets its free PRISM keys back AC.
