Computer hack

Sven
in Off-Topic
Multiple U.S. agencies were successfully targeted, including the departments of State, Treasury, Commerce, Energy and Homeland Security as well as the National Institutes of Health.

The hackers attached their malware to a software update from Austin, Texas-based company SolarWinds, which makes software used by many federal agencies and thousands of private companies to monitor their computer networks.
This news should be a wake-up call for everyone. Wonder if IRS is affected?
I also read that they breached Microsoft Office 365 that is widely use by everyone.

    Jayzuz. This is what happens when "leadership" is a bunch of moronic, lackadaisical bird-brains. And Der Fuhrer is being held hostage by a foreign Actor. Tax Returns? Other financial documents? Laundered loans? Pee tape?
