Time to expel all Chinese nationals form the USA and institute sanctions on China.
This was an act of war. Its time to cut china off.
While we are at it all contractors working with the US military should be banned from using internet connected systems for classified information.
Or at least they think they did, maybe they just have a big old file of disinformation. Anyway, that’s what I would put into the hackable files.
Didn't they steal it over the internet?
Exactly. Dis-information campaign.
Well there you go. RR used it quite a bit.
It's difficult to create passable disinformation. It has to look real and it is relatively easy to tell if something is made up (e.g. a high fidelity honeypot) and takes a lot of effort to create (automatic text generator output would be obvious and ignored)
I see, I didn’t think the reason they had it on the internet was disinformation. I figured it was just sloppyness. It’s possible that it is disinformation but that would be tricky to create.
It is. It’s meant to make our defense look weak while showing the rival out-smarted us. Folks fall for this every 10 years.
Chinese are not the problem. They have work ethic, smarts and ambition, value education, and usually stay on the right side of the law.
Too many are spies. Industrial as well as governmental.
And short order wok jockeys are involved? All Chinese nationals? Canal Street will never be the same.
No ticket, no laundry.
“We need to tighten up our national labs and set standards in corporate military R&D.”
I’m not sure that this contractor wasn’t allowed to let the Chinese hackers in in order to plant easily overcome technologies into the Chinese military. Given the known penchant of the Chinese to hack our military services probably have difficult to hack computers. Planting false info in a “less secure” contractors ‘puter allows the Chinese to believe they’ve hacked secret data.....lololol....
most large corps have many networks, most firewalled off from each other and several removes from the outside world.
sensitive data in HR, new projects, financial data would be examples of where separate networks are used. Roles determine who gets access to which network and to which resources on a network. pretty sure its been like this for decades.
hackers do find ways to compromise firewalls and gain credentials some of which you probably can guess..
As I recall, Mr. Hillary Klinton gave the Chinese our top secret mainframe computer technology, and overnight brought the Chinese 30 years ahead from where they were at the time.
Yet the main trend in IT is to put EVERYTHING in the Cloud. It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread, dontcha know. Exabytes of corporate and private data sitting in the Cloud on 3rd party servers...just as safe and snug as a bug in a rug./s
Somehow I highly doubt that the CIA, NSA, or other alphabet agencies put their TS info in some “Cloud”. If your data is not in your hands, it is not your data.
Where I worked it was all one unclassified intranet, with stuff like HR protected by password access. Prior to about 13 years ago they had over 40 disparate and incompatible unclassified networks. Then in 2005 everything was consolidated into SAP enterprise. Painful process.
My company managed to lose my personal info in a stolen unencrypted laptop, then my government delivered my SF86 to the Chinese (OPM "hack"). Information security is a unicorn.
The contractor was not named...I wonder why.
Not giving a pass to the Chinese, but for all we know the ‘contractor’ left themselves wide open. They may well be culpable too.
Keep in mind lots of 0bama/Jarret zipperheads still hanging around.
Thanks for standing on the depth of treason did President Clinton went to in order to become president
Hopefully the statute of limitations does not have a date for treason and Bill Clinton will be brought to trial convicted and hang as is the policy for many things that he did
Thanks forCOMMENTING on...
ah, the old “Star Wars” negotiation tactic pops into the news
