Whats not intelligible with my post to the one you posted up about Phishing and bait? What english words didn't you understand and are having so much trouble with? Do you think I need to know this limitation of yours or something? I do have to go by what you try to construct with your so called smart power.







Russian hackers behind the damaging cyber intrusion of the State Department in recent months used that perch to penetrate sensitive parts of the White House computer system, according to U.S. officials briefed on the investigation.

While the White House has said the breach only affected an unclassified system, that description belies the seriousness of the intrusion. The hackers had access to sensitive information such as real-time non-public details of the president's schedule. While such information is not classified, it is still highly sensitive and prized by foreign intelligence agencies, U.S. officials say. The White House in October said it noticed suspicious activity in the unclassified network that serves the executive office of the president. The system has been shut down periodically to allow for security upgrades.

The FBI, Secret Service and U.S. intelligence agencies are all involved in investigating the breach, which they consider among the most sophisticated attacks ever launched against U.S. government systems. ​The intrusion was routed through computers around the world, as hackers often do to hide their tracks, but investigators found tell-tale codes and other markers that they believe point to hackers working for the Russian government. To get to the White House, the hackers first broke into the State Department, investigators believe.

What Happened Hatuey.....here you are saying this is script kiddie stuff and it wouldn't even make it past the State first line of defense. No one can get into the State Dept etc etc and here our people are calling whatever the Russians are doing.....that they are the most sophisticated attacks they have ever seen.

Now who do we believe......BO's own people, Heads of other depts, in government that all investigate this type of stuff.....or you a left leaning liberal who cant figure how how this is starting to point to Hillary and when she was breached and used for bait.

Note what they said also about how other Foreign Agencies Prize that info? Also how it includes schedules that aren't made public.

None of it is intelligible because it has absolutely nothing to do with hacking a server. Do you not get that yet?

Nope, I said that the information gained from one would not make hacking the other possible. That doesn't mean State Dept. is unhackable. Not even in your wildest dreams. What it means is that one is not related to the other because the approach and information obtained from one, are irrelevant to the approach taken for the other. You seem to have a penchant for addressing arguments nobody has ever made. Why do you do that to yourself?

Lmao, Hillary is a starting point? For what?!?!?! I've asked you repeatedly how you hack a server or even an e-mail just by being aware of it. You don't know how. I've asked you how an e-mail address would allow you to hack a server, you don't know. I've pointed out that SD would not use Facebook level security on its computers, and you can't even seem to address that.

That's cute. They got Obama's PDA. I'm sure they'll be able... to... assassinate him? What? Send a commando after him? What exactly can they do? This is why your entire premise falls flat on its face. Not only does not lead anywhere, it's so obviously ignorant of what is possible with this information that it completely destroys itself under a little scrutiny.

This whole thing reminds me of little kids screaming that they can hack you just by knowing your IP. That's the level of discussion we're having here. One side is arguing that some guy in Russia hacked what is probably absurdly secure servers on the planet with information that Hillary would have no reason to discuss or even access to and techniques that have beaten AOL. The other is saying that this is definitely something which can be done, it just can't be done in the way they're saying.

Also, I'm going to Angola in August. Any tips?

Angola... not so much. Lingala and Bakongo sound like the names of vicious alien groups on Star Trek.
