Hackers attempt to extort school system.

I guess this is a trend. How many lives are these people trying to ruin just because their thieving scummy plan didn't work?

Dear FBI/Government/tech companies: Get on this shit. Schools, hospitals, small towns. Constantly targeted, and losing.

The government is failing miserably in this area and I'm amazed some tech company hasn't pointed it out and offered to fix it for huge amounts of money.

Oh, damn. This is how bad the US government hack was. It was related to SolarWinds and FireEye.

In 2020, perhaps the U.S. government should take cyber security seriously?

Seems like this should be the top story throughout the world. (At least, most places.)

Weird how Twitter isn't blowing up with this news. *sarcasm*

Right? WTF? A REAL ISSUE happens, and no one cares.

* edit * Least of all our President, who has said nothing.

Came to see the latest on this apparent "non-story" since nobody in the MSM is taking it seriously.

Good to see the current president also not taking it seriously.

We're all doomed.

I've been wondering:
Are we doing anything out there? Never hear about it. So, are we just that good, or are we actually not doing anything?

We are definitely doing things. I just don't know how much or how well. The Iranian nuclear thing was us, wasn't it? With the centrifuges. Or maybe us + Israel?
