Buried on page A6 of the Dec. 18 Salt Lake Tribune is the alarming article regarding “a long undetected intrusion into U.S. and other computer systems around the globe.” Authorities believe this attack was carried out by Russian hackers, who were enabled by the fact that the Trump administration had eliminated the White House cybersecurity adviser.
A U.S. official admitted that, “This is the worst hacking case in the history of America and a grave risk to government and private networks.”
I call it beyond serious.
Meanwhile, back at the White House (where the lights are on, but no one is home) the lame duck President Trump has yet to utter a quack.
