Russian state-sponsored hackers are at it again, targeting the US Senate now.

"PARIS (AP) — The same Russian government-aligned hackers who penetrated the Democratic Party have spent the past few months laying the groundwork for an espionage campaign against the U.S. Senate, a cybersecurity firm said in a report Friday.

The revelation suggests the group often nicknamed Fancy Bear, whose hacking campaign scrambled the 2016 U.S. electoral contest, is still busy trying to gather the emails of America’s political elite."

Meanwhile, Congress and the Trump administration have done very little to defend America from cyberattacks. Russia has and is using cyberwarfare to attack American sovereignty. Why do the Republicans look the other way and let it happen? All they do is stick their head in the sand and say, "No proof, no proof."

It's 2018 folks. Putin has figured out it's a lot cheaper to damage western civilization with computer attacks than to fire missiles and drop bombs. The Trump administration is either negligent or complicit in letting it happen.

Obama did nothing for years and you seemed ok with it.

Did you just wake up or something ?

The DNC got hacked by the Russians in 2015....nothing was done and they got hacked again in 2016.

Another private company blaming Fancy Bear. LoL

The story CrowdStrike put out that Fancy Bear hacked the DMC has been thoroughly debunked.

The Russians like every other advance country, including the US, is involved in hacking.

Let us know when there is real evidence.

Lightbulb Russian Hackers Target Senate; Why Won't Republicans Defend the USA?

Two things:

1) It worked out so well for them 14 months ago.
2) tRump told them not to because Putin told him not to.

Conservos are compliant followers.

Oh, but conservatives say the private sector is always right, always superior. You guys need to make up your minds.

The last time a private company (CrowdStrike) blamed Fancy Bear for hacking, that claim was thoroughly debunked.

That's an objectively false statement.

Of course there's proof Russia meddled in the election. Mueller will reveal more soon enough. Try putting country before party for once. It'll make you a better patriot.
