Showing Original Post only (View all)Senator Angus King revealed a disturbing bit of info last night [View all]
He gave a presentation at the Camden (Maine) Opera House last night. He spoke about his work on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and as usual he was literate, well-versed in details, and a cracking good speaker.
He said the IT department at a small bank in rural Maine told him their bank was getting ONE HUNDRED cyber-attacks a day, and these attacks are almost always traced back to Russia or the Ukraine. If one small bank in northern Maine is getting attacked by Russia a hundred times a day, imagine what's happening to all our financial institutions.
I know a lot of Trump supporters don't really care that Russia is trying to bring down our democracy. I wonder how they'll feel when their bank accounts suddenly vanish.
