  1. Alright ladies and Gentlemen, we got a big one today. So, first is news that the Tres was hacked (and probably a ton more agencies) - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/russian-government-spies-are-behind-a-broad-hacking-campaign-that-has-breached-us-agencies-and-a-top-cyber-firm/ar-BB1bToak This is on the heels of the FireEye hack, and now it looks like Solar Winds (a network monitoring/management tool) was hacked leading to the access into the Fed. This is inline with the supply chain attack, similar to NotPetya a few years ago. So, you'll notice that the hack was discovered this weekend and agencies are already burning whatever tools there were that allowed allegedly Russia to get in. CISA, the "new" DHS agency that Chris Krebs was running before the orange dummy fired him, has come a long way and is doing a good job so far. This would have taken them weeks just a couple years ago. Now they've sped that up to hours after compromise report, with intel to check for. Pretty cool! In case you were wondering what Russia has to say about it - "The Russian Embassy in Washington on Sunday called the reports of Russian hacking “baseless.” In a statement on Facebook it said, “attacks in the information space contradict” Russian foreign policy and national interests. “Russia does not conduct offensive operations” in the cyber domain." Thoughts moving forward. I think this will be seen as another escalation in norms (like the OPM hack). I expect Trump's admin to do nothing as they continue pouting. I think that Biden is going to have a very interesting line to walk, but we will not see what comes out of it for about 2 years. With USCC stepping up their game, there could be legitimate cyber consequences (hit some type of clearly military infrastructure) and the usual financial sanctions/diplomats kicked out. Previous to Biden's admin, cyber responses to these actions have not been made public (usually) even though they are effective.

    Didn't he just get a new contract?
  3. Including the current Prez before he was elected. I wonder if he was able to find the real birth certificate once he was sworn in?
  4. maybe the report will include the servers in Germany and the green berets that died there trying to get it. WTF happened to my party. States rights...when convenient. Law and order...when convenient. Proud Boys running around like Brown Shirts. Don't give whataboutism about Antifa...there's police for dealing with them. Constitution...nah, keep screaming 4-more-years.
  5. Sorry bro, nothing to add. For everyone else: NAMI - Naval Aerospace Medical Institute.
  6. Dude, feel free to spam the thread. I don't think anyone here is gonna go - "Fuck pics of bad ass aircraft."
  7. Concur on most of this, and the stuff I don't I would probably consider a matter of degrees of difference. Here's where I don't agree. "The media" hasn't gone after Barron, or the other kids who aren't in a political office. As a Dad who's literally looking down the future of a son who's not on a right path no matter what I do, I also don't think we hold the Father for the crimes of the son, even if the name was invoked for dirty dealings. My son's said shit to me that I thought sounded ok...found out after it wasn't. I wouldn't do that for Don Jr, an I won't do it for Hunter. I think that the appointment of Trumps kids to political office was reprehensible and should be outlawed by the Legislature in the next session. But again, when the kids are appointed to political positions...fair game.
  8. Have you watched this "footage?" What's the FBI going to go for...taxes, or CP?
  9. Need a U-2, and RC-135. Bump as you add stuff.
  10. Wait, I thought it was child porn, and Chinese hookers.
  11. So, assuming that the Supreme Court overrides in only those listed states in the argument, and not the other states that Trump won that had the same type of "election changes." What happens next? Majority of people did not vote for Trump either in the popular vote, or in the places where they are contesting. There has still be zero evidence of fraud to claw back a Trump win anywhere. He's engaged in attempting to get legislatures to go against the will of the people that voted. Do you think the run-off in Georgia would go R if that were to happen? I have extreme doubts. Are we looking at a general strike and protests? Are we back at riots? Would the Congress even convene? You couldn't ever get me to attend a protest for BLM, Abortion rights, gay rights, whatever. I could see myself attending one where millions were disenfranchised through no fault of their own.
  12. Again, you get things wrong. It was denied, and Kelly is not in on the new complaint nor has he filed a brief in support of it. Check here.
  13. Had a buddy that did a gig there as SOS instructor. Loved it. However, you're basically forgotten from your AFSC. Depending on the O6's that are coming around some even viewed it as "ditching the career field." You're busy just instructing, while everyone else is "leading." If you're career...why would you ever do that. Lets look at the bios of a statistically significant sampling of O6's and 1-stars...how many have PME instructor as a Capt on there? That said, Maxwell in 2017 was actually really nice. Hard to believe. Article pushes out some interesting ideas. It would make SOS more like ALS, which it basically is now. To claim the instruction there gets down into doctrine, strategy, or anything of lasting value is a lie. Other service school are much longer, and we just don't instruct the same way.
  14. Thanks. I've got folks who've had to unfollow their parents/husbands on social media for stuff like that. Funny seeing it satirized.
  15. So. Whatever was used to get in is going to get burned, or turned over to the Fed for examination and use. Every tool they have is going to get hashed and given to the cybersecurity vendors out there. Be interesting to see if we see any attributable patches to vulns they might have developed. Kinda like WannaCry after the alleged-NSA loss of tooling. Overall...it sucks!
  16. Also, this was just updated, emphasis from your site @Seadogs - "Just hours after the deadline for the petition's deadline, The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a request by Trump ally Mike Kelly, a Pennsylvania Republican, to nullify Joe Biden’s election victory in Pennsylvania. Kelly argued that virtually all of the state’s mail-in ballots were unlawful. The rebuff came without explanation and with no noted dissents."
  17. Considering Texas modified voting rules and procedures in exactly the same way...it's not surprised indicted felon Ken Paxton is doing this. Probably to get a pardon from Daddy Trump from the FBI investigating deep into his taking bribes and abusing office. So was it: unconstitutionality, or hacking, or fraudulent ballots, or flipped votes. I guess they're hoping something sticks to the wall to disenfranchise millions. Meanwhile Lying Ted Cruz, with the ugly wife and assassination Dad, is offering to argue it.
  18. Oh really? I didn't know that. While I was there he was not liked due to attitude.
  19. Not to brag but - U.S. Cyberforce Was Deployed to Estonia to Hunt for Russian Hackers
  20. We can have Trump saying crazy shit for years...but now every word is gospel. K.

    https://streamable.com/6n72u3 Romain's interview about the accident. He goes into detail.
  22. I know it probably doesn't compare. But I did a new flu vaccine test last year. They tracked me for almost six months, and I had a weekly email to respond to with health status. If I got sick I got some amazon gift cards and...free health care. 😁
