Russian cyber hack?

Our intelligence agencies are calling this possibly the worst hack in US history. The hack was discovered when the Russians were found trying to hack into US nuclear weapons facilities and is now known to have attacked multiple US security agencies. This should be the top priority for Trump to be working on today, or at least one of the top two (covid). And it certainly requires some sort of response. 

What are that chances that Trump is ACTUALLY working on this problem...at all? Heaven forbid he has to sit through intelligence briefings on what his old buddy Putin is up to or worse have to make the decision to take action that would hit him back. I’m betting we won’t hear a peep from Trump on this topic, but we will probably hear lots  more today about how the democrats are being mean to him and conspiring against HIS election. Making America Great Again...not. 

Update:

Update: After all of our intelligence agencies and those of other nations also targeted have all concluded this was unquestionably the work of Russia, and after days of no comment (probably lack of interest) on the largest hack in American history Trump has finally spoken on the topic: he’s declared that this event is both fake media AND it was actually the Chinese. He just refuses to EVER accept that Putin is an adversary.

    Addle brain Biden will sell it all to the Chinese.  This is like Hillary and her servers.  The only reason for her to have her own servers was so she could sell the data by letting them be hacked.  She could get arrested for the regular methods of espionage, like making a copy and giving it to China.  But, by letting the servers be hacked, she could claim innocence by ignorance and get away with it.  So, it is the same with Biden.  Except this time it is real ignorance by being addled brained.  Which is the only reason he is President.   So that everything can be stolen.

    "Funny how immediately the media points to Russia. Why not China?"

    Because the true patriots in US intelligence told them it was russia.  This is not a God damn guess. You are definitely a Russian troll or Cult 45 has completely warped your mind.  No one is this fuсking stupid.

    Having worked on government networks, I can tell you that there are all sorts of secured systems that can access the internet through multiple layers of firewalls using stateful firewalls that won't let anything in unless it was invited.  Normally, you can't get into those SECRET systems because you have to blow your way through four or five layers of filtration.  However, this Russian hack bypasses ALL of those layers because the systems that were hacked were monitoring systems.

    This is a PERFECT example of the philosophical phrase from Roman Empire times:  "Quis custodiet ipsos custodies?"  "Who watches the watchers?"   (Answer:  Apparently, the Russians.)

    As  a former Intel Analyst, this sickens me. He has not even acknowledged it. And this goes further than just government agencies being hacked.
