People need to wake up and unplug infrastructure from the Internet and also label the source of messages. We are Brainless lazy Schmucks who put our entire country at risk for "Efficiency" and being able to eliminate staff.
If he was fired, there is a reason.
So we are COOKED we just don’t know it yet
Sounds like the US is getting closer to a conflict with China and this propaganda is being fed to Americans ahead of time to get support for upcoming war with China. 🤔🧐
While our administration is dinking around with retribution against supposed enemies, nothing is being done to protect our country from real enemies. It's horrific.
The news and social media would have you thinking that Black people, liberals and people that are on government Assistance is the nation's biggest issue.
Show national security I was watching the game on space force and they was talking about this x-15 this satellite they said it was too expensive… I guess to try to understand or try to fix or whatever it is. Or to try to put it back into the correct person… I like that right there it's too expensive what do I need your expense for I think expensive failure is too expensive new name and cover a new general
They don't talk about their own hacking threats worldwide. To me this is just another one of those US government propagandarous information against China or Russia. Hypocrates!
Yeah and here our gov is shut down and China could invade and there is a sizeable number of traitor Americans who love illegal immigrants
American government dont care
And we wonder why trump is there posting stupid videos instead of keeping our nation safe these morons in the White House are acting like children
America is cooked and burnt like hell
Bombing a city into oblivion is fair game. Poisoning the air and water? That’s a no-no. Give me a break. One is more grotesque for sure, but the outcome is the same. Total war. And it’s wrong and horrible. But we need to be prepared. We can’t cry foul. We need to be protected.
Yes lots of vulnerabilities but I'm calling FALSE FLAG, sure China is doing it, but WE are doing it to them and rest of world governments, its like the new Cold War.
Without a doubt should have been better vetted, +3,500 people pardoned by Biden, WHY? So many connections to Biden cast and China. And this guy acts like its some new threat. We made a program probably over 15 years ago than caused the Iran Centrifuges to overspin.
Not buying part about just knowing about China now.
Maybe a enemy of the ccp was in the town.
US is attacking Chinese National Times Center using 42 methods recently
Huawei also uncovered US hackers are trying to hack Huawei IP since Huawei tops the world in patent rights nowadays.😊😊😊
60 minutes won't complain US hacks everyone thru Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Instagram, Cisco, Intel, 4g, Android, Nvidia….😊😊😊
They’re slowing our internet down!
What horrible, horrible primates we are. What is wrong with us?
And we should believe he is telling the truth because…? Smells like a propagandist to me.
Does anyone else see the halo that follows the person talking around? It’s like a white bubble around their head it’s getting me paranoid that it is slop
Indeed this is scary, BUT it would be naive to not think the US has been doing the same hacking to everyone else too.
We spy on everyone already, why wouldnt we go further and plan for this scenario?
I don't think there's Any company that China or one of the other countries hasn't hacked into and got All of our socials and date of births and tons of other information… All of these companies and hospitals and the government has not done enough to protect our information!! And now it's to late!!!!
The US should plug in AI to all these services to "protect" us 😂
Some things i feel shouldn't be public
Why we have to believe some asshole and his stories because he was fired from his job
This guy obviously has a decade+ of exceptional service still left in him and the American people were robbed of that for no reason.
Hopefully he can make some money and then be rehired when there are adults back in the White House.
Trump fired all of the people who are supposed to look for these incursions.
We have no other choice but to up our game ourselves. Forget DJT and his autocratic buddies..
By enabling DJT autocratic regimes are already distracting and weakening democracies worldwide.
If IT goes right, we need less IT, if IT goes wrong we need less IT…. that the basic mental model of anyone in leadership despite IT bringing in all the money.
Maybe loomer is china?
What I know for sure? AMERICA IS THE GREATEST HACKING CRIMINAL IN THE WORLD!
Oh I'm so high I got to hide behind population control failure and rotate stuff back inside the others population to take it into my population oh I got so much loyalty I cover inside the Innocents
I don't really stand up for what I believe Ian hide for what I believe you through
Nation state right here and this National Security operation him in the presidential Administration they're at a drug war and they're failing so they had to go take on a bunch of famine hungry drug addicts because what he tells you is we don't believe in addiction we don't believe in the purpose of y'all feeding yourself like that every single day and then falling backwards but yet if you turn around and you go into the hospital I don't ever come out of hardly any symptom I have give me a medication that follows a business ethics which means the addiction ethics side is crossed so then they got to go to war to make themselves look like they're actually doing their job when he actually doesn't know how to properly do his job he don't know exactly which direction he supposed to be seeing what he only sees as his Diddy gaps him open
"We dont know how extensively they're in our systems and we dont know how many daily attacks are made on our systems" – NSA. Well, yall ain't too smart then are you? That kinda your entire job. Maybe spend less time spying on Americans.
The china government is committing acts of war
And he is a TRAITOR
Another war monger.
I bet China have weapons of mass destruction too.
How about just going back the the good ole days of controlling water without a freakin computer
If anyone truly believes the CIA doesn’t do the same things, you’re sadly mistaken.
