Russian hackers penetrated U.S. electricity grid through a utility in Vermont

Have you read the report Ron?

https://www.us-cert.gov/sites/default/file...

Great information that the Federal Bureau of Investigation have on GRIZZLY STEPPE – Russian Malicious Cyber Activity.

The first 6 pages of this report should change your mind on Russia's involvement in the Hacking of the DNC and other U.S. government programs and facilities throughout the U.S.

Now this information comes to light: "Russian hackers penetrated U.S. electricity grid through a utility in Vermont."

Do you believe this report STEVEN?

They call these hackers RIS, and give a table of "alternate names". I have no idea what that means, or who they are. Neither do you Ron. The report is useful for cybersecurity professionals, as shown by how the Vermont power company was able to use it to strenghten their network. As far as any new information for us run-of-the-mill citizens, there is none, it's just more of what we've already been hearing:

"Using the harvested credentials, APT28 was able to gain access and steal content, likely leading to the exfiltration of information from multiple senior party members. The U.S. Government assesses that information was leaked to the press and publicly disclosed."

The Russian civilian and military intelligence Services (RIS) STEVEN, that is what it means .

I am sure that you would not know this unless you had some prior dealings with Russians or you don't understand what you just read from this link.

Wasn't it you who said that you was knowledgeable in computers, well the third thru the sixth page of this report explains the methods used to obtain such information.

On the seventh page talks about Recommended Mitigations on the Eight page I am sure that you will find very interesting, it talks about Detailed Mitigation Strategies, one of those techniques talks about using • Take steps to further secure Windows systems such as installing and configuring Microsoft’s Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) and Microsoft AppLocker.

Please STEVEN, stop trying to pigeonhole me.

What the report should have said is dump Microsoft and use Unix or Linux.

Well it didn't and Trump won't fix it because he don't think the hacks took place.

That's right, it don't. Do you know why hackers use UNIX/Linux Ron?

The question is: Why has Trump highly speaking of Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin?

The question is, why do hackers use Linux?

I don't know anything about the use of Linux STEVEN too answer your question but Why has Trump highly speaking of Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin?

There are a couple reasons. One is because it's secure and can't be counter-hacked.

Great, if that is true, you need to submit that suggestion to the proper authorizes.

Now, Why has Trump highly speaking of Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin? WHY is Trump throwing our U.S. intelligent Agencies under the BUS, WHY IS THAT?

It is like Putin has something on Trump.

It's absolutely true, and the authorities already know about Linux because it's what they use to hack the Russians.

Despite the authorities’ drive to support Russian-made software, even government agencies prefer to purchase Microsoft products. Such was the conclusion reached by a probe conducted by the upper house of Russian parliament, the Federation Council, a spokesperson for senator Lyudmila Bokova told (in Russian) the Vedomosti daily.

The probe found violations with 46 software purchases, including two large deals to buy Microsoft operating systems and software worth a total of nearly 800 million rubles ($12 million), although under the law (in Russian) officials must give preference to domestic software.

Now, Why has Trump highly speaking of Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin? WHY is Trump throwing our U.S. intelligent Agencies under the BUS, WHY IS THAT?

You and your loaded questions Ron. Let's think about how much smarter Putin is, to mandate Russian software and not Microsoft.

Remember how wrong you and your crew were about the election? That's how clueless you are about the Russians.

Not just you and your crew but most of the Republicans and ALL of the media, even Fox.

Stop running like hell from the question STEVEN. Why has Trump highly speaking of that THUG Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin? WHY is Trump throwing our U.S. intelligent Agencies under the BUS, WHY IS THAT?

1. Putin is not a THUG
2. Obama is lying that the election hacking came from Putin.
3. Trump is not throwing America's "intelligence" community "under the bus".

1. Putin is not a THUG

Well I be, Putin is a dictator and putin is trying to undermine our democracy.

2. Obama is lying that the election hacking came from Putin.

Proof that Obama is lying when our intelligence agencies believes so too.

3. Trump is not throwing America's "intelligence" community "under the bus".

He has thrown tens of thousands of Americans in our intelligence agencies under the BUS by his denial in public of the information that was given to him in security briefs.

By the way STEVEN, Why has Trump highly speaking of that THUG Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin?

Ron, I told you I dispute the premises of your three loaded questions.

Be sure to watch Hannity tomorrow night.

Which question Steven, this one: "Why has Trump highly speaking of that THUG Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin?"

You like this THUG don't you?

He's not a thug Ron. He's the duly elected President and extremely popular with the Russian people.

He has known to suppress the press in his country, jail reporters and some report say that he has murdered his opponents and evade other countries to advance his empire.

Putin has undermined other countries elections in the past and he involved himself to undermined our democracy and he- TRUMP should be outrage at that THUGS by this interference but he is not because trump knows that putin help him to win over, to con the people who voted for him.

We have seen this play before with Nixon.

However Steven, it appears that our president elect is specking highly speaking of that THUG Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin, why is that?"

Remember all those bodies Hillary left behind? But you still voted for her.

Remember the bill the GOP passed to cut the budget for oversea Embassies.

Remember nine special investigations chaired by republicans found no wrong doing on the part of Hillary Clinton as she came out of smelling like a rose. Have you forgot?

I remember.

I also remember this question that you seem to want to forget, remember this question STEVEN: It appears that our president elect is specking highly speaking of that THUG Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin, why is that?"

I'll answer your question Ron when you put it in an unloaded form. Right now I'm addressing this statement of yours:

He has known to suppress the press in his country, jail reporters and some report say that he has murdered his opponents and evade other countries to advance his empire.

Looks like you are looking for talking points and time to tell you how to reply to my question, like that Million illegal voters comment that your boy made but it is not coming.

You have tried to support pooty in his blatant attempt to undermined our elections and now you say you are addressing this statement of mine:

He has known to suppress the press in his country, jail reporters and some report say that he has murdered his opponents and evade other countries to advance his empire.

STEVEN POOTY is not the issue hear Trump is, address this question: "Why has Trump highly speaking of Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite President Obama’s suggestion that the approval for hacking came from the highest levels of the Kremlin?"

Stay tuned Ron. Turn off Lawrence and watch Hannity tonight.

Still evading the question I see. (LOL)

I told you Ron, unload it.

Why is trump giving praises to the Russian President Vladimir Putin?

Trump said Putin is very smart because Putin was smart to not respond in kind to Obama's action.

Hannity asked last night "Do you believe Assange or do you believe Obama?"

You are telling me what trump did, you are not telling me why?

Do you see the word "because" Ron?

Wasn't today Donald was supposed to tell the American people what he knows about hacking? "NOTHING FROM DONALD." HAVE YOU HEARD....

That is the same thing he did about those Millions Illegal voters, HE LIED!!!

The "Intelligence" briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!

I am not talking about Trump's Intelligence briefing "Russian hacking." Trump told the American people that he got some information that he was going to share with the people. That tuned out to be another LIE he told.

Now let him rely on WikiLeaks defend the U.S. from cyber attacks from Russia, China, or North Korea. Be For REAL....

Trump won't say what he knows until after the briefing. That was supposed to be Wednesday now it's Friday.
