Headline on a story from Reuters, May, 2015: "FBI warns Russians hacked hundreds of thousands of routers."
The trail of Russian hacking American computers is impressive. The Democratic National Committee during the 2016 election and the large hacking uncovered weeks ago are two of the more dramatic incidents.
The point is: When will stop them? When will we get serious about stopping them? When will we say, We've got to do better at defending ourselves? When do we take this off the back-burner?
Our current cybersecurity personnel have failed? Bless them, surely they are doing their best. But, we need improvement in our efforts. We need to search out the best cybersecurity personnel in the nation, from those already in our agencies and those in the private sector. We need to put our best on the job, and start making a dent at stopping the Russians.
