Jeff Greene, executive assistant director of cybersecurity at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and a senior FBI official said Tuesday that while agencies started cooperating on their investigations of Salt Typhoon’s activities in early October, the effort was first detected in “late spring and early summer.” He also warned that the breach is “ongoing” and that there was much law enforcement still did not know.
“We cannot say with certainty that the adversary has been evicted,” Greene said. …
Greene strongly urged Americans to “use your encrypted communications where you have it,” adding that “we definitely need to do that, kind of look at what it means long-term, how we secure our networks.” As many as 80 telecommunications companies and internet service providers, including AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, are believed to have been infiltrated in the hack. …
The officials from the FBI and CISA noted in their briefing that there were three groups of victims in the hack. The first group was an undisclosed number of victims, mostly in the “Capital Region,” according to the officials, who were impacted by stolen call records from telecom companies. The second group — a small number of political or government-linked individuals, all of whom have been notified by officials — had their private communications compromised, according to a senior FBI official who spoke anonymously as a condition of briefing reporters. …
The major hacking campaign has been an issue of increasing concern for U.S. lawmakers in recent weeks, with Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) describing it as the “most serious breach in our history.” …

We have a “president”, who will go down as the worst in history (unless China writes the history of course) who is completely compromised by our lethal enemies. He also baited
Putin by threatening to push NATO up to his
borders, completely
bungled the Afghanistan
disaster (arming our
enemies with billions of
dollars in military
equipment as a side note),
and has stumbled and
bumbled his way around
the Mideast. And of course has completely flopped in Ukraine, unless making it his personal piggy bank was the goal all along. Coincidently
he made hundreds of
millions of dollars via his
crack addled son with the
compliance of the
democrats, the neo-cons
and the corrupt
bureaucratic deep state.
Social media and a horrific
candidate plus the help of
God gave us Trump as a
respite but it’s likely
analogous to Josiah’s
Reforms where the die was
cast due to the sins of
Manasseh. Democracy
seems to have about run its
course. Thankfully, God is in
control. Time to endure as
Jesus foretold.
By the way…what exactly is “treason”?
YHVH, we do ask that You protect our telecommunications systems. Grant wisdom to those tasked with closing these breaches in our nation’s security. satan may be the prince of the power of the air – but You are Lord of heaven and earth, and all that is in them. So please enforce Your Sovereign rule. We trust that nothing outside the scope and timing of Your divine plan will happen.
