The fact that Microsoft is patching XP ( a 16 year old OS ) is a big deal and shows you how serious this attack was.

 

Julian Assange is a piece of shit.
He released the NSA and CIA cyber toolkit because in his warped mind the public needed to know.

Can't wait for him to release home brew formulas for anthrax and sarin.

 

the CIA is one of the most corrupt and vile organizations on this planet.

 

Curious...What's the most egregious thing they have done, in your opinion..?

 

That's what they're supposed to be. This isn't the Red Cross or the Girl Scouts.
The CIA is an appendage of the national defense apparatus.
The problem is the MISSIONS they're authorized to pursue by the WH.

Most Americans don't realize is but we need an organization that can operate in the shadows and get accomplished what the Pentagon can't.
Wars and preventing them isn't always about dropping bombs.
Sometimes good intelligence can get done what invading a country with 250,000 troops can't do.

 

The devil you know... etc.

 

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Deal Lord!

 

The Latest: Microsoft partly blames US gov't (CIA, NSA) for cyberattack

Damn, Microsoft was more critical than I thought they would be. Certainly didn't mince words or sugar coat their perspective.

 

Turns out this punk likey created it.
Then "magically and heroically, thwarted it. SMH.

U.S Marshals arrested him over the weekend.

British computer hero, 23, who faces 40 years in US jail for 'helping steal bank logins' was arrested in First Class lounge after luxury hackers' convention in Vegas where he drove supercars, fired guns and rented a £5m mansion


The British computer hero who saved the NHS and world from cyber criminals has been arrested in Las Vegas and faces 40 years in a US jail for allegedly creating software used to raid bank accounts.

Marcus Hutchins, 23, will appear in a Nevada court today after he was grabbed by the FBI in a first class airport lounge and stopped from flying back to the UK where he lives with his parents in Devon.

He was held by US Marshals after a week partying at a hacking conference in Vegas where he took over a £5million mansion with the city's biggest private pool and rented a £200,000 Lamborghini Huracan to race around in.

Last night he was charged with six counts of making a 'Trojan' program that captures computer users' passwords and personal information and was sold online for £1,500 - but senior figures in the worldwide hacking community believe he has been set up.

The so-called malware, called Kronos, has reportedly been used to steal money from bank accounts in France and Hutchins is accused of writing the virus, known as malware, in 2014.

Court documents obtained by DailyMail.com show that a second defendant, not yet named by the FBI, is accused of selling it on dark web marketplace AlphaBay, which was shut down by the US government last month, and creating a YouTube video showing how it worked.

 

Dayum! Why would he put himself out there as a hero, then ball out in the limelight while committing cyber crimes?

Folly of youth?

 

Damn I'm so cynical....I read the thing about them saying he did it all, and the first thing I thought was - or that's what THEY want us to believe and they set the kid up to take the fall.

 

The cyber attack threats are one of the reasons I always have some thousands in house and documents that says how much there is in the accounts. If something happens, I am capable of surviving some months before the system are up and working again.

This is why I am worried about the fact the banks will take the use of cash option away from us.
