Warning Repeat!: Report: Russians Are Hacking Critical Infrastructure

So much gets lost in the Trump chaos, but this seems important: Last week, the U.S. government issued a joint report from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security that described a massive Russian cyber campaign to attack critical infrastructure.


Vox reports that this is first time the US government has publicly blamed Russia’s government for attacks on energy infrastructure. That means instead of targeting individual hackers, the U.S. will now respond against Russia.

1. How will trump respond? He'll just give the Ruskies the keys to those places.

No need to hack. Just unlock the door and walk on in.

4. I think this is what frightens me the most--

the thought that, just prior to the midterms, the Russians will bring down some essential piece of our national infrastructure, which will throw the election into chaos, and give Trump an excuse to try to grab dictatorial powers.

Reichstag fire, anyone?
