Russian Hackers Stole NSA Data on U.S. Cyber Defense

NSA /CIA and our National Security is as secure as the weakest link. They need not be traitors, just people that got too complacent...while Russia never sleeps (Like NSA does when Russians and others screw up.)

It isn't easy but if tens of thousands people have access to something, it's just a matter of time. And they need access "to connect the dots" so it's a losing game.

Thanks! A note: go incognito if it doesn't work on its first try.

I hope NSA is doing the same with Russian Cyber Defense systems. This is what NSA should be focused on and not on turning its eavesdropping capabilities towards the homeland.

What if an adversary where to hack the NSA warehouses were all communications swept up by their eavesdropping efforts are stored?

Interesting. After seeing the gloves come off in the last month or so, it hit me just this morning that one could make the case for it being a bad idea to have a system with root access to thousands of US systems in Russian jurisdiction.
