    Do you think that blockchain technology could solve the problem? Asking for a friend

    You put idiots in charge of your network security and then talk about spying on people to protect them. Shame on you. Do yourself a favour and hire security researchers instead of hiring junk graduates from random colleges on the basis of their colour and gender, who’re too egoistic to tolerate expert advice.

    For these things to occur, we must maintain strong and competent leadership at the top of government.

    So many companies don’t validate patches and updates on isolated network. Government should always do this.

    The Biggest problem is Management not accountable when they accept not to do anything to close security risks identified by their teams.

    Oh no. Remember that Microsoft is involved with everything. So when the shit storm hits they can cut our communications with each other. I’m telling you people start learning how to live without tech. Gates makes both the issues and the solutions to all the stuff he makes. It’s funny how it’s always Russia messing with us. Maybe the “hackers” are trying to find dirt on gates and evil plans for the u.s.

    0:51 They entered in 40 organizations!!! In fact, the espionage was made on about 40 organizations. I mean, not a so big deal. In the world, there are millions and millions of organizations….and maybe, I say, MAYBE…some of those organizations have some dirty secret to keep and infiltrations could be very dangerous… (Wiki leaks teaches. )…but “Don’t worry”…the hackers DIDN’T penetrate Microsoft… Of course, they didn’t … 😉

    It’s not hackers. They have a spy working at Microsoft and Solar Winds programming these codes. China has operatives who have infiltrated most of these major Corporations and government agencies. Even our senators have Chinese spys working for them.

    The embedded CCP spies are carrying out their mission to bring down America evidently very effectively. That’s what 50 years of being in bed with China will get you!

    “suspected Russian” You morons are so incompetent I cannot believe it. Russia cannot even feed their own people. China is behind the attack using Russia as a proxy. Learn to do even the most basic level of research, but that’s not what you care about. The only thing you care about is the RUSSIA narrative. We are on the brink of war with China, who is running concentration camps for followers of islam, and you are on the wrong side of history.

    DJT’s “V-2 Rocket”, albeit implemented against his own country, and the diabolically self-inflicted cyber-attack equivalent of Pearl Harbor. DJT’s open-invitation to attack us would only have been a surprise if Russia did NOT seize the golden opportunity, considering he fired Defense Secretary(Mark Esper) AND Chris Krebs(CISA Director) only last month.
