"Pentagon chief orders US spies to ‘deprioritise’ Russian cyber threats"

[Delldude]

So why ignore the threats from Russia?

Oh wait… Trump’s buddy

I forgot

Part of the peace deal.

 

[CowboyTed]

Funny that. I mean, it's not as if China is fighting a brutal invasive war.

China can be easier handled... Well before he did the idiotic tariffs...

IF Trump had soft power (which he squandered) he could easily say China did this to us (in NATO) and targeted Sanctions would be put on China in retaliation...
Not all of the Chinese attacks the government knows about... A lot of it is just cyber crime, which they will stop.

But Trump has said **** you to the world... For this, you are one you're on your own..

"Pentagon chief orders US spies to ‘deprioritise’ Russian cyber threats"​

"
The new US defence secretary has ordered the nation’s Cyber Command to halt planning to counter threats from Russia, according to reports.

Pete Hegseth’s instructions reflect the new administration’s decision to downplay the cyber threat from Russia."

Oh wow, talk about just giving up the security of the nation, after complaining that this is what Biden had been doing with immigration.

The US really is falling apart with ridiculous and incompetent these days.

It’s not true…

 

[Delldude]

It's offensive ops.

Can you spell 'TREASON'?

 

[justoffal]

They both bear watching.

Trump wants less emphasis on his buddy

Maybe.... I don't discount anything at this point.
However I do think a large segment of the United States politics is dedicated to war.
If there is another way to make peace in Europe we should explore it. Endless body counts are not a very good strategy.

 

[justoffal]

Trump 101... Let the enemy do more damage.

Fn Hegseth should go back to Fox News and cry about blacks and women.

I suppose your plan is to move forward with endless body counts? When will you be there yourself on the front line? How many of your kids are you willing to send?

I haven't researched that angle but I'm pretty sure you're on to something. Unfortunately 99.9% of causation usually bleeds back to the word money.

Don't forget what Eisenhower said. Congress is living proof. Trump is messing with military profits.

No, it’s consistent with Fake News lying.

Nowhere in his memo did he say to deprioritize ”deprioritize Russia”. This is a term completely made up by the media. He said to prioritize threats from China and Iran.

I worked in cyber security for the DoD for many years. We have the capability to defend against all cyber attackers since they literally attack us from everywhere anyway. We get hacked by people in Canada.

You people obviously ALL can't read - nor comprehend

The Trump administration declared/ordered to halt/pause "OFFENSIVE CYBER-ACTIONS" against Russia - which is a joke or in the least susceptible - since Russia is NOT halting their Cyber-offensives.

Hegseth orders pause in offensive US cyber operations against Russia

The reported directive from the defence secretary comes during an American push to end the war in Ukraine.

Difficult or at least "laughable" since Europe is totally aware of the US/NSA's hacking actions onto European countries.

 

[okfine]

This is consistent with Trump’s treasonous alliance with Putin – making it easier for Putin to undermine American democracy and hobble the political process.

Pam Bondi is all for Russian and China (and others) too by disbanding FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force. Her bullshit answer to why was to free up resources???

Open the door and let the creeps in. Trump and his goons are corrupt.

edit... The Foreign Influence Task Force was instituted by Trump 1.0 in 2017

Which has nothing to do with defending against cyber attacks.

We have no business mounting offensive cyber attacks against Russia. Such actions can provoke a war.

So Russia was trying to provoke a war with Estonia?

No wonder they joined NATO

There are Russian hackers that are basically mercenaries. They get data and sell it on the black market. It’s not difficult to defend from it.

That’s not what happens in Estonia and not what happened here on 2015/2016

That was state sponsored cyber attacks

And what proof is there that the Russian government did such a thing?

Aside from vague media reports with zero citation or evidence.
