I really want the cabinet suicide pact to be true, and for Kelly to initiate it. Really getting the feeling tomorrow someone is gonna resign.

Casimir Radon posted:Dumbfuck is planning on killing the nuclear deal next week. 40 years of stupid bullshit hasn't been enough apparently. Not all hope is lost though, there's a technicality. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...m=.ecbf4c59cfe6 quote:That would start a 60-day congressional review period to consider the next steps for the United States. On its own, the step would not break the agreement among Iran, the United States and other world powers, but would start a clock on resuming sanctions that the United States had lifted as its part of the deal. Basically, it goes to a congressional vote to reimpose sanctions, which would need 50 votes. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they either never take the vote, or Mattis/Dunford/Tillerson convince a few Republican Senators to vote no on it, keeping the deal and allowing Trump his tantrum. The bottom line is that Iran has basically held up their end of the deal and not done nuclear poo poo, but they're still doing skeezy poo poo getting our troops killed (no links for that, I remember Iran providing weaponry to the Taliban or Iraqi insurgents, or some poo poo in the past?). I guess I'm saying that Iran is no angel. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Oct 5, 2017 |

The point is to not kick the chair out from underneath the moderates again. Khamenei will die sooner or later and the Council of Experts will elect his successor. Pointless poking at Iran will only continue more of the same. Rouhani would honestly make a better US President than Donnie.

But then you've got a contractor who was going out of bounds here, right? Actually, its not as unlikely as you think: Putin has been slowly pushing Kaspersky to push out old management and personnel for people with closer ties to Russian Military and Intelligence quote:In August 2015, Bloomberg reported that Kaspersky Lab changed course in 2012, as "high-level managers have left or been fired, their jobs often filled by people with closer ties to Russia’s military or intelligence services. Some of these people actively aid criminal investigations by the FSB, the KGB’s successor, using data from some of the 400 million customers".[39] Kaspersky slammed Bloomberg's coverage on his blog, calling the coverage sensationalist and guilty of exploiting paranoia to increase readership. While some of it is no doubt sensationalist, we visibly saw two or three Kaspersky employees arrested as "Spies", and Russia has been integrating a lot of its home companies back under the government thumb.

You agree to this when you install it. The contractor hosed up by taking poo poo home, sure, but that's half of the issue here: He didn't have to sell anything to anyone for them to get their hands on it.

More generally, the director of TAO himself admitted during an interview that they've used Steam and other AAA games to deliver malware to targets. It's not hard to imagine this being done somewhere else.

Nobody is even slightly surprised, though I've not seen any hard evidence yet. I wouldn't blame the contractor, it was dumb to put stuff on an unsecured system, but really the NSA working practises shouldn't have let him be able to do that in the first place.

Speaking of connecting dots, reports coming out this week that Russia has been hacking NATO troops' personal cellphones. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/world/2017/10/4/16424602/nato-russia-smartphone-hacking-report Combining The OPM breach giving away a complete list of security clearance applications, Equifax leaking practically every adult American's address and phone number, and a history of spectacular success targeting mobile devices for real-time tactical intelligence it seems it would be a simple matter to cross reference those into a target list and turn the US military's pockets into the greatest signals intelligence network in human history. It will very soon become unjustifiable to allow anyone associated with the DoD to own personal communication devices at all.

shame on an IGA posted:Speaking of connecting dots, reports coming out this week that Russia has been hacking NATO troops' personal cellphones. That trapped phone app that they used on the Ukrainians was amazing. Not because it was particularly complex or even that hard to do, but because it was easy as hell and nobody thought of doing it before. And nobody noticed for ages. A lot of my maths work is in how you formally secure general purpose computing systems, comms systems etc, civilian stuff though. It's a nightmare, largely if you want to make sure some state actor can't take your information the easiest way is to never put it on a computer at all, you've pretty much lost when someone targets you. It isn't totally hosed up, but you really do need to start thinking "how long do I want to try and protect this for, it'll get read at some point", rather than "nobody will ever see this". Doing better than that requires some fundamentally new computer science and we're a very very long way from developing that. I'm fairly convinced there aren't any general solutions anyway.

A lot of the federal contracting workforce, especially in the IC, is hired exclusively for their clearance first and their skills second. As a result, the quality of the average contractor is low. Combined with a bleeding of talent on the fed side due to the inability to pay as well as the private sector, a lot of the federal government has had a brain drain when it comes to IT and infosec.

I just got done a two day workshop with two regional power companies about developing better security for their distribution stations and I left convinced that we are utterly hosed if the Russians or North Koreans wanted to turn off the power to half the country. Like it's one thing to read about it in articles, but it's another thing to have the heads of security of two large power companies admit how massive the gaps are in their coverage. At one point, one of the OT guys asserted that even though the relays are connected via a fiber ring, and that network terminates on the same RTUs that also connect back to the enterprise network, that it was perfectly safe and didn't need to be monitored because none of the traffic was routed between the two networks. The pen-testing team next to me collectively let out an incredulous laugh.

Seconding this, especially for financial companies. Currently work for #5 globally in terms of assets, have done security analysis work for #2, 3. It's so loving bad you guys. The only thing I think holding back major compromise is the Frankenstein's monster that is most banking backends. That, and the fact that everything is still running on mainframes older than 75% of the current workforce.

Really just put that qualifier in there because in no other circumstance have they ever said anything even mildly in favor of additional restrictions on any firearm. In this case Republicans control all branches of government so it's not like they needed to change their standing. The only thing I can figure is that they want the Republican legislators to have an easy way out. A way out they might need for some reason
