"My view has not changed, which is that Russia attempted to interfere with the last election and that it continues to engage in malign influence operations to this day," Wray said. "It's a threat that we need to take extremely seriously and respond to with fierce determination and focus."

Because the POTUS says the real enemy is the free press, AKA the Fake News Media. No, I am not making this up, our President tweeted it this morning. What the f*ck kind of bizzaro world do we live in now?

The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media. I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear........

What country isn't trying to interfere with US "democracy"/policy? I can only think of a few. As for the news media, they are in the business of sensationalism and manipulation, it's how they make their money. This isn't something new, although the President acts like it is.

SMSgt Thor Merich - Yes, we probably do,, but does that excuse this situation? Does that justify Russia spreading fake news to influence our election? Also, I would question just how much we "meddle" in elections in democratic countries that actually have open and free elections.

November 4, 2010, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13556, Controlled Unclassified
Information. The Executive Order established a governmentwide Controlled Unclassified
Information (CUI) Program to standardize the way the executive branch handles unclassified
information that requires protection and designated the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) as the Executive Agent to implement that program. Only information
that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls pursuant to federal law, regulation, or
governmentwide policy may be designated as CUI.
The problem -
DHS, through the Office of the Chief Security Officer, manages a well-established Security Compliance Review (SCR) program that unites all security disciplines in a decentralized fashion to accomplish pre-scheduled reviews and assessments of all Headquarters and Component security programs, to include information security. Members of the SCR team are subject-matter security experts and operate in a decentralized structure. They assemble for SCRs on an as-needed basis, as an auxiliary duty. SCR team members maintain other full-time duties and responsibilities, but through coordination they can plan and schedule SCR participation accordingly. It’s important to note, however, that the focus of most information-inspection programs, including SCRs, is on "classified information" and associated protections. As the volume of CUI is anticipated to be much greater than that of classified information, such inspection programs will likely face unfunded requirements that may double or triple the workloads of persons currently doing the work.
As such our government can't even implement an effective cyber security approach to its own unclassified information while at the same time the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) - part of the Department of Commerce - is urging computer security guidance for private sector organizations in the United States in how they can improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks. Seems very hypocritical.
Russian hacking low hanging fruit - not surprised.
