Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!

How do we know it was the Russians?
So when do the LANL beatings start? All you folks at LLNL who are saying "at least it was not us" better remember that what happens at LANL usually happens to LLNL. I can see it now. LANL loses Bechtel and the Russians just walk right in. Of course who knows how long this hacking has been going on maybe well before TRIAD. Apparently Sandia was also hacked along with some of the DOE/NNSA. Good times
The lab seems rather silent on this. What happens now, all microsoft products are to be banned at NNSA labs? To be honest that may not be a bad idea but I could see who that could cause some issues. I have read up a bit more on this and they claim they claim that the hacking only got to businesses operations but nothing deeper. That seems certainly possible since that would be the most vulnerable stuff and it would be much more difficult to get further. Still bad but I doubt that it is the "Pearl Harbor" event being claimed in the news. Maybe the same thing happened at the DOE, so the hackers got hold spread sheets with charging procedures. It will take years and years for them to figure these out.

"We" don't. Some people do, but they aren't going to tell you how.
How do you know they actually know who did it? Obviously, they didn't catch the attack initially, why do you think that they can say for certain who did it? Maybe the Chinese are good enough that they can make it appear as if Russia did it.
We have top men working on this, top men. They do not get things wrong.
If you believe it was the Russians, it wasn't the Russians.
Simple. Trump Tower in Moscow. And, you are right, it won't be pretty.
This is already out of the news cycle. No one cares if this happed 6 months or a year ago it would have been in the news for months but now that Trump is gone it was only in the news for 5 days at most. I see nothing on this anymore in the news. I guess it was not very serious or else they would kept talking about it.
