White House Hack Attack
Washington Free Beacon, by Bill Gertz

Original Article

Posted By:nhchemist, 9/30/2012 8:45:13 PM

Hackers linked to China’s government broke into one of the U.S. government’s most sensitive computer networks, breaching a system used by the White House Military Office for nuclear commands, according to defense and intelligence officials familiar with the incident. One official said the cyber breach was one of Beijing’s most brazen cyber attacks against the United States and highlights a failure of the Obama administration to press China on its persistent cyber attacks.

Comments:
Why does the incompetence of this administration not surprise me?

In other news, while the Chinese successfully hacked into our defense network, somehow they accidentally triggered multiple launches. It was quite a coincidence that Beijing was the sole target...

I am hard pressed to even think up a more corrupt, incompetent and pathetic administration! But wait, I am sure they will sink lower tomorrow.

Don't forget to thank the Clinton administration's relaxing of regulations keeping high tech computers out of Chinese hands. For no other reason than the Clinton's own givng natures, of course. Cough! (Loral) cough! (Kaffeklatch cash) Cough!

This had to have been an "inside job". There should be no way that a server in China could "physically" access our defense network otherwise. (The thumb drive attack on Iran's nuclear centrifuges is an example of an "inside job". Someone physically accessed a "legitimate" computer on their network.) In this case, someone had to physically attach a hardware "bridge" to permit access by a computer outside this "closed" network. Software hacking notwithstanding and beside the point. (This network was physically closed, wasn't it??????)

Why is this not considered an act of war? This is incredibly dangerous to this nation and should be treated as a sneak attack. There must be consequences to China over this.

I need to add that radio uplink access to a military satellite would also come under "physical access". That prospect is even scarier. It would mean that the Chinese could hack anything that is tied into the satellites. As #8 indicates, that would constitute a war action on the level of our cracking the Japanese code in WWII.

I hope I'm not banned for posting again, but don't forget the drone that was downed ("meaconed"?) in Iran a few months ago. That drone was controlled by military satellites, and a bit of reverse engineering may have led to the physical "link". There also might have been more than we were told in the tail of the helicopter that crashed during the UBL raid in Abbottabad. There might also have been a mole at one of our bases in the ME. I'll stop now - too scary to think about this any further.

There is obviously an extremely dangerous breach of security in the Øbama regime. The terrorists in Libya knew exactly when and where to attack our embassy to capture and kill our ambassador. It was reported our ambassador was also viciously tortured before he was killed. Apparently there was some kind of big CIA operation going on in that embassy the terrorists knew about and may have been the true target of the attack.

We have had documented and undocumented Chinese pouring into this country for years now. Many find their way into tech jobs. I've worked with a few who are engineers. I wouldn't be surprised if some have passed their acquired knowledge back to Beijing.

Wow, just wow. How much incompetence and corruption needs to come out on Obama and this administration to wake up the media to the fact that if the United States goes down we ALL go down with it; not just us either, the world would erupt into chaos. I have never been more frightened in my entire life for the safety of my kids and grand kids as I am now. What will the future hold for them? This is more than an election, it is a matter of life and death for this nation. We must win or history will show that America was lost on our watch. Pardon my drama.

So let's speculate a bit. You are the head of China's Intelligence cyber unit. You have cracked yor way into this system. Do you:
A) Do nothing and watch how they react?
B) Cause the U.S. to launch a pre-emptive strike against Russia?
C) Cause the U.S. to launch a first strike against a rural remote portion of China to justify retaliation?
D) All the above in sequence to assure your sole domination of the world economically and militarily?

I liked this part: "The WHMO arranges the president’s travel and also provides medical support and emergency medical services, according to the White House’s website." Did you ever stop to think that with what we owe China, THEY might want him out of office, just to protect THEIR interest? His medical records just might surface, or his travel could be "interrupted" , unexpectedly, natch.

The Chinese have selected exactly the American missiles they want to launch.

They picked one from Column A and two from Column B - - with hot-and-sour soup and egg rolls.

But wait - - they'll be hungry for more U.S. missiles in about an hour.

Launch the missiles - - and leave the egg rolls.

With what we've seen of Ø's foreign security policies, why would anyone think his domestic security would be any better.

Homeland security? Nepolitano? She's recruiting amateur proctologists and perverts for airport security. She's advancing the regime into 'drunk driver' enforcement. But, where's Homeland Security on this one?

Just more Ø & Co. incompetence.

For the top defense computers, networks and various secure systems, there is supposed to be, in place, a plan to immediately change any and all access codes in the event that ANY breach has been made on any of the systems. It's done that way just to prevent anyone or any country to gain access and attempt to use the information against us. But, given the incompetence of this administration, I wonder if this was actually done.

With the leftist incompetents that 0bama has been promoting either the password was still ''password'' or 0bama put it in himself and it was "Ilove0bama.'' A little more of 0bama and this country will have no more military secrets.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is spending millions to attack Sen. Kelly Ayotte for opposing gun-control legislation Bloomberg likes. Bloomberg says tougher gun laws will reduce gun homicides. Has he ever compared his city’s gun murder rate with New Hampshire’s? New York City’s gun homicide rate has fallen to 4 per 100,000, very good for a large American city. Boston’s rate is 6.2, Washington, D.C.’s 19, and New Orleans’ a stunning 62.1 (Snip) New Hampshire’s gun homicide rate was .53 percent last year.

Well here’s another scandal ready for the Obama administration. It was revealed today that the National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon. This top secret order was issued in April. The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries. The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records

I am proud of Sen. Kelly Ayotte for her courage in voting for legislation that would address the criminal misuse of firearms by prohibited persons. She could have taken the easy way out and voted for ineffective bills that sounded good to the media and anti-gun crowd, but which would not have addressed the root causes and which would not have prevented another Sandy Hook tragedy. Instead, she resisted severe political pressure and did the right thing, voting for measures that would actually help and voting against measures that just sounded good, but which would not help.

On Medicaid expansion, the right

Like most states in the country, New Hampshire is having a difficult time answering the question about whether to expand Medicaid coverage. For the last decade, politicians of both parties have made no attempt to expand Medicaid coverage in the state. With the federal government dangling some initial money for the program, some are tempted, but unsure. Today, with so many unanswered questions, policymakers should avoid a rush to judgment and just say, "maybe."

With Washington gripped by a trio of exploding scandals this week – from Benghazi to government spying on news outlets to thug tactics by the Internal Revenue Service – Senate Democrats seem to be hoping that if they just yell loud enough then voters will overlook a key role they played in at least one of them. (Snip) Over the last three years, Democratic senators repeatedly and publicly pressured the IRS to engage in the very activities that they are only now condemning today. At the same time, Republicans repeatedly and publicly warned against this abuse of government power

BELCHERTOWN – Shortly after midnight Tuesday, seven people were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir. State Police say the five men and two women are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, and “cited their education and career interests” for being in the area. The men told police they were chemical engineers and recent college graduates. The Quabbin, in Belchertown, is one of the country’s largest man-made public water supplies.

CONCORD - Representatives of the hospitality industry are expected to turn out in force today to support a Senate proposal that would block state tax collectors from using tips to calculate a business owner´s tax bill. (Snip) For a profitable restaurant, the change would increase the deduction against the business profits tax, and could be a wash. But for an unprofitable or break-even business, the change would mean a significant increase in taxes.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
