Whatever you think politically this is ugly, ugly, ugly and only getting worse from the perspective merely of technology in the world.  When you also consider the larger picture ... wow.

Here is CIO.com on this subject:

Here is a snippet from the piece:

As the Senate Intelligence Committee held its first public hearings examining Russian hacking yesterday, lawmakers received a stark warning that the intrusions have been far broader in scope than the intelligence community's finding that Russian hackers meddled in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) seemed to confirm as much when he announced that former aides to his presidential campaign, had been targeted by an apparent cyberattack emanating from a Russian IP address last July and again just this Wednesday.

Here is a chilling account from Clint Watts, senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, in his testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee:

Notice he points out that ALL are targets of these cyber-attacks stating "they play all sides".

Do I close this blog post with "Happy Reading"?

Hard to be happy about any of this.
