trump admin was asleep at the wheel, agaln, while hackers played us like a fiddle.

Everyone's attention was on the election and covid for the last ten months so russians hacked in and accessed everything...everything in out government systems and business ones too.

Seems the only thing the whole cabal is good at is lying and packing the courts with incompetent republican judges. Oh, and looking the other way to whatever Putin is up to.

I'm honestly actually waiting for the lights to go out.

The Russian Trojans are capable of dropping a very potent payload.
It can be difficult to clean up.

I'm overly careful about my downloads, but I was searching for a driver.
Everything looked legit until I hit install.
All hell broke loose, a year later I was still finding remnants.
The Russians flew thru my whole network.
I played whack a mole literally with key loggers, back door, every thing everywhere.
Learned my lesson.

7. I can't help thinking about how they can destroy or alter data/documents and impersonate people

which leads me to wonder if they are changing date/documents relating to all of the investigations and internal data that shows wrong doing.

Granted I don't know how deep they have gotten or can go but the question is nagging me.

I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot of this kind of crap as it gets found out. I suspect it’s all rotten, from top to bottom. Nothing will have escaped the grift.
