Who are they blabbing to, the Russians?

Besides, we can’t build political pressure for national preparedness and defensive measures unless we publicize threats, and this one is already in the system.

“Who are they blabbing to, the Russians?”

Good point, a lot of whats classified is intended to keep Americans from knowing it. In my experience, which I can’t talk about or I would have to kill you.

If I understand this correctly from the article, a bunch of systems are infected with malware by the Russians. They probably know that we know, but now that knowledge is out in public; it's the headline on Drudge.

Is the point of making it public to bring pressure from the hopefully irate public so that something is done to correct the problem? As stated in earlier posts, the repairs are very expensive and it seems that the owners don't really want to spend the money.

I'm just trying to figure out why this is becoming public at this time. According to the article it's been in the system since 2011.
