Didn't spot it in the news until I was word searching for something else, but Russian hackers compromised Treasury and Commerce department computers, perhaps going back some time in doing so. U.S. officials were left scrambling this past weekend assessing the damage.
The Washington Post broke the story, and it is possible very few outlets picked it up. This, despite the fact cyber security is the issue of the moment with election fraud accusations. It would seem that outlets concerned about cyber infiltrations into the election would also be concerned about such infiltrations into our government. I made a quick check -- not a thorough one, admittedly -- to see if Fox, Newsmax, The Epoch Times, or NTD News covered this news. Didn't find it.
