Russian Cybersecurity Software Found on U.S. Government Computers

November 14, 2017 by Jonathan Duani 1 Comment

This is a interesting article about how the US government found Russian cyber security software on their computers. According to the article 96 of the 102 government agency had this software on their computers. IT is a pretty interesting article cause it shows that no matter how high the security is people can still get in and mess around with stuff.

    Jonathan,
    I think this is referring back to the cyber security attacks during the US Presidential elections. This is quite a shocking story and it’s still unsure how Russian cyber security software was able to penetrate network systems into the world’s most advanced networks.
