Obama and McCain Have Been Hacked!
I understand that this news is somewhat old. Old in tech terms meaning about 5 days (actually that’s acient).
Anyways, aparently Obama and McCain’s campaign computers were hacked during the summer. Obama’s campaign noticed that something was running “slower than usual” but they thought that it was a virus or malware. It seems that instead a bunch of files were stolen from their computer systems, by a “Chinese” assailent, of course.
The FBI let both campaigns know that they “have been compromised (I wish I could have said that)” which basically means that a ton of files were loaded off of their system.
Now it seems that computers even in the White House have been hacked through. This is disturbing. I would hope and believe that my tax money could buy some people that new what they were doing with networks and security. I will admit, I don’t know everything about the topic of security, but I would hope the guy making 100K+ would have some sense of how to take care of assaults on an important system.
The worst part of this is that the assailents are probably some 15 year old chinese kids that are trying to get into the news. Even if they aren’t it is still embarrasing that our governement can’t keep systems secure. Hopefully, they will get this under control. Just hire some real hackers, Obama.
