Richard Engel reported last night on NBC that all visitors to the Sochi Olympics are getting hacked as soon as their electronic devices connect to any Russian network[.]
That's almost as bad as Obamacare website security:
U.S. intelligence agencies notified the Department of Health and Human Services last week that the HealthCare.gov infrastructure could be infected with malicious code.
Belarus hackers seem to have the corner on this market.
And get this. They had the inside track because Belorus coders helped build the system:
One of our intel people spelled it out for Gertz: “The U.S. Affordable Care Act software was written in part in Belarus by software developers under state control, and that makes the software a potential target for cyber attacks.”
Remember when Barack Obama ran on the theme of "competence?"
UPDATE: Georgia falls within the ring of steal:
NATO criticized Russia on Wednesday for expanding its border deeper into Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region, a move Moscow has portrayed as a temporary step to expand a security zone around the Sochi Winter Olympics.
Well, Georgia lost that territory during the 2008 summer olympics. But technically it is still part of Georgia despite Russia stripping it away from actual control.
"Temporary," Russia says. As in, we'll leave when somebody makes us. That's temporary, technically speaking.
Hey, Abkhazia got what they wanted in 2008. Hope they like it.
