Just indicate that you are taking steps to ensure this will never happen again. Period. Stop.
The latest report said the Russians have been doing this for a long time, why didn't Obama stop this?


BTW, several polls indicate that the majority of Americans don't believe the Russian hacking story.

It's just so silly. A local civilian Russian hacker group named Fancy Bear, sends out phishing emails, to see who might be dumb enough to fall for them.

That does not sound like a sophisticated "cyber hack" by the Russian government's top notch cyber intel division, does it. No, it was a crude, clumsy scam, pulled off by a bunch of amateur computer nerds, not the Russian government.

That poll is a joke. It's a 'push-poll,' like ones you might get from Candidate X asking if you think Candidate Y's terminal illness makes you more or less likely to vote for her.

The poll's question Presumes that Russia interfered with the election And all respondents agree with the premise.

Yes, I am quite displeased with the claimed Russian interference.

I am also equally, if not more, displeased with the information that was revealed.

The U.S. agency burglarized by suspected Chinese hackers has completed its long-awaited damage assessment and more than 22 million people inside and outside government likely had their personal information stolen, officials announced today.

We have been hacked again and again under Obama, and he did nothing at all.

The least damaging cyber intrusion was actually the DNC and Podesta phishing emails, and yet this is what the loony left is the most upset about.

Government hacks and security breaches skyrocket - CNNPolitics.com

A CNN review of cyber attacks against federal agencies shows that the number of breaches into government systems is skyrocketing.

"Espionage is happening at a rate we have never seen before," said Denise Zheng, a deputy director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The numbers seem to bear that out. There were almost 61,000 cyber attacks and security breaches across the entire federal government last year according to a recent Obama administration report.

And the number of cyber incidents involving government agencies has jumped 35 percent between 2010 and 2013, from roughly 34,000 to about 46,000, according to another recent report by the Government Accountability Office.
Did they leak that information to the press and try to interfere in our elections?

Get back to me on that.

Go pound sand. The US government claimed the Chinese stole SSNs, bank accounts, detailed personal information and even finger print data, for tens of millions of people. Have you ever heard of identity theft?

Oh, but your still winging over a damn phishing email????

No doubt. The Chinese managed to hack the Office of Personnel Management's system and made off with the identity data of tens of millions of current and former federal employees.

Hardly a word uttered by the White House in response. No diplomatic retaliation whatsoever, even though it was crystal clear from the outset who the culprits were.

However, let some ignorant schlubs at the DNC be gulled (using the most rudimentary, ham-fisted phishing technique out there) into handing over their email passwords, and suddenly now Obama wants to declare the DNC computer networks (which technically belong to a private entity, by the way) as "critical national infrastructure," even though the OPM networks, which were actually hacked by outside actors, are in fact part of the "critical national infrastructure" Obama should have been talking about last year when the hack occurred. (If he had actually been doing his job, that is.)

It is all very telling, no?
