The latest 2018 election-hacking threat: 9-month wait for government help

[turbinetree]

States rushing to guard their 2018 elections against hackers may be on a waiting list for up to nine months for the Department of Homeland Security’s most exhaustive security screening, according to government officials familiar with the situation.

That means some states might not get the service until weeks before the November midterms and may remain unaware of flaws that could allow homegrown cyber vandals or foreign intelligence agencies to target voter registration databases and election offices’ computer networks, the officials said. Russian hackers targeted election systems in at least 21 states in 2016, according to DHS.

The scanning, known as a “risk and vulnerability assessment,” is the crème de la crème of security exams: DHS personnel come in person to do an intensive, multiweek probing of the entire system required to run an election. But department officials acknowledge that it’s of limited use if it doesn’t come soon enough for states to correct their flaws before voters go to the polls.

1. KGB, GOP and the Trump administration are working hand in hand NOW to interfere

again, which is why Mueller is about to be fired AND the entire DOJ is going to be completely taken apart, investigation halted.

When that happens, and it will very soon, we need to go to the streets, 150 million of us and do a general strike and if that doesnt work.

Well lets give that a try first, ANYTHING less means we WANT to be ruled by a Nazi dictator.
