[🇺🇸] While CIA is sleeping, Russian hackers are deeply penetrating American computer infrastructure

In 2014 there was a Russian hacking incident resulting in the theft of over 1.2 billion internet credentials, including usernames, passwords and corresponding e-mail addresses. What was reported was a tip of the iceberg. This data theft was just a small part of the larger project of cyber attacks against American computer infrastructure organised by Russian Intelligence Agencies. In fact, even this particular hacking incident wouldn't have been revealed had Russia didn't want to check it's rival's reactions.

Since then, this project has progressed by leaps and bounds. Russians have been meticulously laying the foundations to strike at America's infrastructure, at a time most advantageous to Russia. USA would be caught by surprise. Russian Intelligence has been doing it's homework. CIA is not doing it's homework. While CIA is sleeping, the penetration by Russian hackers into USA's infrastructure has been extensive and deep.

10% of Iran's centrifuges were affected. A Siemens techie affiliated with the IAEA introduced Stuxnet via a jump drive. Now Iran's nuke facilities are completely air gaped and anyone entering/ leaving is thoroughly checked. Since the IAEA has been suspected of being affiliated with western intelligence, all access to Iran's reprocessing/ enrichment sites has been revoked.

Some good reading, Iranian hackers did retaliate, some targeted at Saudi Infra and some directly at US infra - this is old news from ten years ago.

Cyber snooping and Cyber-war is already mainstream.

Post Stuxnet - Iranian hacking sophistication increased by leaps and bounds because they invested in training their hackers - some say with Russian and North Korean help. Granted some of the following is technical, but I can possibly explain 90% of it.

The Mandiant M-Trends Security Report discusses Iranian hacking capabilities and activities - among other things. Here is a GitHub folder where there are hundreds of other reports - knock yourself out.

They're watching all over the place, most likely.

"They", as in, gorments the world over.

Log bhi easy to track hain these days, everyone's almost always connected to the networks, OBL did well staying hidden for so long.

No one is safe, the machine knows all.
