DHS Says Georgia Hack May Have Been Rogue Employee

“I’m am writing you to ask whether DHS was aware of this attempt and, if so, why DHS was attempting to breach our firewall.”

LifeZette:

The Department of Homeland Security told members of congress Friday that a rogue federal employee may have been responsible for a November hack-attack that targeted the Georgia secretary of state’s system, LifeZette has learned.

On Friday afternoon DHS initiated a conference call with members of Georgia’s congressional delegation to discuss the cyber-attack, a Capitol Hill staffer with knowledge of the call told LifeZette.

DHS officials said on the call that there were two possible explanations for the hack, the source said. Either a malicious third-party mirrored the DHS IP address linked to the hack — or someone within the department executed the attempted infiltration without authorization. DHS is currently investigating both possibilities.

  1. Gee i wonder who was behind the behind of the hacker on this one? I smell the stench of a certain Kenyan. Time to prove this Kenyan is illegally President and lock him away. Take his bride michael with him.

  2. Wonder how much torture will be inflicted on this patsy as he is forced to learn Russian? Americans could reciprocate and turn on all things Kenyan, up to and including Barry’s funky azz. Surprisingly, Michael has gone rogue quiet. He/she knows there is a shitstorm on its way, and he/she just wants to be clear and divorced from Oshitblowme. It was a great scam while it lasted, says he/she. NEXT!

  3. Does Georgia occasionally hire someone who speaks Russian as part of the EEO requirement? Why are not these people vetted? Just because nobody else speaks Russian is a feeble excuse.

  4. Now we have McStain hitting all the local talk media videos together with turtle head memeing the Russky Hack lies. RINOS still to their core. Trump needs to find a way to shed them with Paul Ryan.
