41. It is impossible to overstate how dire this could be.

Thu Dec 17, 2020, 11:57 AM

Dec 2020

Does anyone know just what this Russian agency is doing with the data, and the overall aim? I would guess not. This could be a blow so crippling as to make us long for the simple, more Halcyon days of this past late winter and spring, when the worst thing facing us was Covid 19 and all the unknowns were still piling up, not being addressed.

It is not beyond the realm of possibility that Russia, seeing the game is up, leaks are being filled, and the insanely rich stream of data is drying up, that they execute a doomsday attack on their way out the door. Something akin to a low level format of all the networks they control.

Security 'experts' (no one is looking very expert to me, ATM) would be fighting a fire that fully engulfs their building with a bucket with a big hole in it and their hands tied together. It could be akin to Armageddon without a shot being fired.
