Hegseth Orders Pentagon to Stop Offensive Cyberoperations Against Russia

[Rick Fox at UNC]

If we are talking a cyber threat intelligence, take it from me, you do not need to solely work in US intel to track Russian state threat actors.

BTW the chain of evidence does not only flow from government -> private companies. Many private companies are at the pointy end of intelligence operations.

Cool.

Unless you work U.S. Intel, actively run ops, work State department, etc. You have no clue. And even then, at the highest level, its nebulous. That's what makes the work difficult.

Now everyone is an intelligence expert because they read a piece in the Times.

There are people who have written entire tomes on the U.S. intelligence apparatus (Steve Coll and Evan Thomas) who will tell you they don't know, and that often, insiders don't even truly know what effect a decision will have.

Just admit you don't know and that you're parroting some shyt you heard from other fear mongering community college idiots and move on.

do you work in tech?

That isn’t Putin’s goal, if he can give up all nukes and regain the USSR nations again, as it was previously, he would have won.

And while Trump is pro Russia and appears to be abandoning Ukraine, Russia still falls way short of its goal if anyone but a Russian puppet sits in Kyiv

What you mean? Like in cyber security or something?

 

[3rdWorld]

They're just brazen with it..

yes, because you speak as if this piece is bullshyt and that we shouldn't care, when it's pretty much universal opinion unless you're a russia sympathizer in the tech field that this is extremely stupid and treasonous. lmao more proof trump is simply a russian asset

[removed]

Yes. Used to work in DC. Used to work at a FAANG.

Have read and marked up a fair number of charging documents regarding non-US "hackers"/malicious actors (or "conspirators").

None of it matters, only answering because you asked.

The piece is, likely, bullshyt. I haven't read it.

SecDef publicly calling for the "Pentagon" to end "offensive cyberoperations" (whatever that means) against Russia is *yawn*. My read: doesn't affect any ongoing op in IC, which is where any significant "cyberop" (once again, whatever that means) is likely to be conducted.

Since this work is considered extremely technical and it takes place in a notoriously opaque area of government, it's easy to scare a bunch of people into thinking this means something it, in my opinion, does not.

Notice all these stories are short on true analysis (what is an "offensive cyberoperation," when did "the Pentagon" begin its current campaign, why?).

Also, it's likely this is part of an ongoing op. Whose op? I guess we will find out in the future.

Used to work in the area. Like, get a call at 7:00a from an unknown number -- "be here at this location, at this time, can you make it?" type deal. Clearances where you're clearly being followed around DC/VA while under investigation. Family members calling me like, "what's going on, who are these people?"

Gave up my clearance(s) a few years ago to work at a FAANG. Starting doing mushrooms/acid, going to raves, hanging out with white boys in Santa Monica and the Bay. Still work at a FAANG.

Honestly, wouldn't mind returning to the area in like 8-10 years and working at a FISA court or for the Senate Intel Committee. Maybe doing something like Matt Olsen (former Director, NCTC) or Avril Haines (former DNI), under the right administration of course.

okay so you've been around, this shyt is icing on repeated sus behavior

You didn't even read it mang so how can you even come to that conclusion .

So you think he's just bullshytting, why would this be publically announced by his office? And why would you not believe it when it perfectly trends with his administrations posture towards Russia?

 

[bnew]

this timeline sucks.

Sounds like you didn't read it.

The news was originally reported by a publication called "The Record." AP and the Times picked it up afterward.

Original story attributes this information to "three people familiar with the manner." It wasn't "announced" by the Defense Department.

Exclusive: Hegseth orders Cyber Command to stand down on Russia planning

The secretary of Defense has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, sources tell Recorded Future News.

Not sure what you're even responding to at this point. You're out of your depth. Have a great day man.

One mistake on who announced it doesn't refute my argument and is besides the point. You cant even directly address the task at hand.

 

[Osmosis]

I truly do not. You?

No. If you had any fukking clue you would be a scholar at some DC think tank. Or working as a lawyer at the Hague, or UN, or State, or Treasury, or CIA/NSA, or some district court in DC.

Not trolling around here with the rest of us idiots.

You say this like the current Secretary of Defense isn't some Fox News hack

 

[Strapped]

The Pentagon creates all these cyber warfares then turns around & blames other countries for trying to protect their interest from sabotage by uncle Sam

Whatever he is, bullshyt is bullshyt.

This whole story is bullshyt.
