Should we sound General Quarters?
This joint Technical Alert (TA) is the result of analytic efforts between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This alert provides information on Russian government actions targeting U.S. Government entities as well as organizations in the energy, nuclear, commercial facilities, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors. It also contains indicators of compromise (IOCs) and technical details on the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by Russian government cyber actors on compromised victim networks. DHS and FBI produced this alert to educate network defenders to enhance their ability to identify and reduce exposure to malicious activity.

Sounds like the commercials where the guard and dentist say they are only monitors. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Good grief, if this has been on the table for decades, someone needs a new job.

Here is an unclassified document on the issue, year 2000. A little research would indicate our various infrastructure and secure government agency communications systems have been breached or attempts to breach have occurred with regularity since this was published.

MCPO Roger Collins - Thanks for posting this, it was quite educational. I knew Russia had been poking at us for years. I didn't know it was to this extent (in regards to the original post). Are we becoming soft for not doing more to deter it?

That’s a tough question. Based on our timid response so far, that could be inferred. IMO, we have the capability, as evidenced by STUXNET.

What the Actual??
They published it TODAY.
If you're implying that the content was known 15 years ago:
1) you were an insider, this is different-for public consumption
2) if it was unclassified and you (your organization) didn't warn anyone for fifteen years, WTF
