Officials with the two agencies that maintain the nuclear stockpile, the Energy Department and the National Nuclear Security Administrations, say hackers accessed their networks in a massive espionage operation, sources told Politico. DOE and NNSA officials say that up to half a dozen federal agencies may have been compromised.
Article originally appeared at WND.
The report, quoting officials directly familiar with the matter, said officials are working to make the proper notifications about the breach after being briefed by DOE spokesman Rocky Campione.
The sources said there was “suspicious activity in networks belonging to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories in New Mexico and Washington, the Office of Secure Transportation at NNSA, and the Richland Field Office of the DOE.”
At FERC, there was “highly malicious activity,” the report said, although details were not released.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, whose director, Chris Krebs, recently was fired by President Trump after claiming the 2020 election was the most secure ever, “indicated to FERC this week that CISA was overwhelmed and might not be able to allocate the necessary resources to respond,” the report said. A priority for investigators is to determine if any information had been stolen.
“The attack on DOE is the clearest sign yet that the hackers were able to access the networks belonging to a core part of the U.S. national security enterprise. The hackers are believed to have gained access to the federal agencies’ networks by compromising the software company SolarWinds, which sells IT management products to hundreds of government and private-sector clients,” Politico reported.
In a joint statement, CISA, the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said: “This is a developing situation, and while we continue to work to understand the full extent of this campaign, we know this compromise has affected networks within the federal government.”
DailyMail.com reported the U.S. has an estimated 5,800 nuclear warheads, including on missiles and bombs, ready for launch from submarines, airplanes and land-based missiles. The actual numbers and status, however, are not public. It is the work of the Los Alamos National Laboratory to create new weapons.
DailMail.com reported Valdimir Putin’s Russian government has denied being behind the hack “but that has been discounted by other experts, who say that the scale and precision of the hack points directly to the Kremlin.”
Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.
The report said U.S. national security adviser Robert O’Brien cut short a trip to the Middle East and Europe with week to deal with the fallout.
COVID-19 lockdowns are taking down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the resurgence of lockdowns that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $17,300 to stay afloat through March when we hope the economy will be more open, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. In November, 2020, we hit 1.2 million visitors.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
