 President Donald Trump on Saturday publicly broke with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over Russia's involvement in a massive cyberattack on the U.S. government.

Trump, in his first public comment since reports of the wide-scale breach surfaced last week, downplayed the attack in a series of tweets, suggesting without evidence that China may have been responsible and hacks on U.S. voting systems might have occurred as well.

  1. That's what countries vying for dominance do. They spy on each other. So, if there is a vulnerability in some network, whether it's hardware, software, firmware, etc. it's likely to be found and exploited. Hackers are constantly examining and probing, and some take the next step and exploit weaknesses they find.

    So it's not shocking that Russia or China might be behind the latest incursion. It's surpising that anyone would act shocked.

  3. I'm not against Russia, if that's what you are asking. So far Russia is standing up to the LGBT wave pretty well, while this country is crumbling under its weight.
