White House Security Confirms It’s Looking Into Potential Hack Affecting U.S. Treasury Department
Where’s Krebs when you need him? Oh yeah fired.
Pandemic team was fired and we a have Pandemic. Lol
@vshah1010 , and the hackers are just insiders.
For the record, Krebs was the head of HSA election security, not Treasury.
I was just thinking the same thing! Let’s see what the flunky DT put in his place, has to say. SMH
Chris Krebs is just a lawyer. He has no technical skills that could have prevented this attack.
Wouldn’t surprise me if agent Orange is involved in this.
I really believe that he is. So aren’t a few others. He’s preparing for his exit.
I look for the tratorious pos to have a convenient heart attack as soon as he leaves office .
Proof ? None !
Detective ? No !
Indirectly. He’s too stupid to know what they are doing. He’s being played as a fiddle by Putin and who knows who else.
@Francesca No , he doesn’t get to claim ignorance . He’s an evil , traitorous sob and putin will decide eventually he’s reach the end of his usefulness and poke him with an umbrella .
Remember when trump believed Putin over the CIA and the NSA. We’ve had a Russian mole in the White House for four years!
Yes. And he happen to have orange hair with a buffoon face and an IQ of a two year old !
@Cars watches 😁
Remember when he fired Comey and hd Russians in the Oval office the NEXT Day
Yoh wow
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh yes
remember when 50 former national intelligence members signed a paper saying hunter bidens lab top was russian disinformation… well they lied
Judging how well this administration has punted on every crisis, get ready for denials & more alternative facts about this fake news 📰.
That’s because the chief security person was fired by this incompetent administration !
@T KJ “trump is revengeful by nature” But Destroying, and vandalizing every major city across america this summer is not revenge? I’m so confused with everyone’s perspectives.
@K Busby , I am willing to stake my Life on this. It’s Donald Trump, Jared Kushner and Vladimir Putin. It was always going to be the plan. And Trump has ties to the Mafia in both Russia and the United States. This is a Felix Sater deal with him.
@DanJenks09 I cannot explain violence against anyone, especially someone you don’t even know. Like vandalism.
Maybe they reached a breaking point.
Donald Trump has caused a lot of anger in this country.
I must remind you that his first attempts at claiming that the election results were fraudulent were aimed at Black communities.
He cleared Liberty Square to hold up a Bible.
He has the emotional IQ of an infant and he is vengeful and tyrannical.
The hack happened a few months ago, when Chris Krebs was still there.
Hoh wow
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh yes
Trump placed many Russian operatives throughout the government.
@F8-4-4N-FIGHTER all conspiracies have some basis in fact maybe not as theorists say but they do
@Communist
Lmaoooooo
Hey Cumrade
If I were you ? I’d deny it and be ashamed toooooooooo
Keep dreaming of being a actual American citizen goleeeboi 😂
Left and believe it or not right voted for Joe Biden. Sorry you all are still so triggered over the trump loss that you have to come on here and troll like losers. Hope you all get a life soon.😊
Trump IS a russian operative
@Helen Rockefeller Lol no, I don’t work for the U.S. government so I have nothing to tell Putin. On the other hand, Mr. Chump does!
As sloppy and incompetent as this White House has been it’s not surprising.
Putin is running this country.
Guess who been running the whole Government all by himself, Then again put unqualified people in jobs have a tendency to get unsatisfactory results. NOT one person Trump nominated or put in jobs had no experience or no business in all the jobs Trump filled. Catch suckers, bump their heads
That’s why trump is so running scared straight into the bunker now the truth shell be known
@JD give me weed putin
@kin kino probably trying to destroy evidence
This is what happens when you appoint friends and unqualified people to positions of power.
This is what happens when you let Netanyahou to install your president.
@kyriakos christodoulou absolutely hit it right on the head .
This is what happens when you have a criminal – traitor in the White House!
Don’t forget white supremacists and racists

Hahahaha
Don’t worry, it’s just one man from China. Everything is under control. It will go away before Easter.
Trump fires the Chief of Cybersecurity, and tragic irony ensues. But somehow, I’m not laughing.
What if it wasn’t tragic irony, but according to some careful plan?
The spiteful right wing cult’s mantra of “own the libs” has caused them to trash our government from top to bottom just to get even.
It’s not ironic. It’s purposeful. Trump is an Unregistered Agent of a Foreign Power (Russia). It’s why he denied Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, didn’t give the required orders to the NSA and the other intelligence agencies for them to take action to protect us from further cyber-attacks, why he tried to blackmail the Ukraine into taking blame for the interference in the 2016 election, and still enables Russia’s attempts at cyber-warfare.
Yeah you forgot the part about the Secretary of the Treasury , being accused of improperly moving money around , more than 400 billion.
What’s going on ?
Wouldn’t have happened if Trump didn’t fire Krebs.. See how unsafe we just keep becoming?
@Martin S Former security director, Chris Krebs
“It’s all going according to plan ” – V. Putin
Congress is filling up fine with Russian plants and KGB trolls. Follow the money.
@Martin S he was in charge of cyber security & said publicly that there was no voter fraud & this was the most secure election in history, so trump fired him!
Agreed!
Wow. Just wow. You have absolutely no idea how any of this works do you? I can see you’re partisan, and that’s ok. You vote for your people, I’ll vote for mine. But to suggest Krebs has anything to do with cyber security for the treasury department shows that you might have a 4th grade education at best, so I’m gonna help you out. Government officials are GIVEN their encrypted laptops and cell phones at their respective orientations. Those devices are monitored and maintained by the military. IT and electronic infrastructure for all government agencies is handled by the Army. The White House has nothing to do with it. I’ve heard people say how dumb democrats are, but I always thought it was smack talk from their rivals. I’m starting to believe the rumors….
Sounds like Munichin and Trump are doing a little”house cleaning”.
@nister e150 trump would sell us to russia if he could
@William Bowman Heard about it
I mean its ALL gone now
Given to friends maybe as paperweights
@Sandra King just like some of the moon rocks one was used as door stop
Tomorrow on page one: ”Trump Tax Reports Now Missing”
@P Clément yeah lots more to come, but he can run but he cant hide,
Isn’t that a coincidence that the chief cyber security man gets fired and all the sudden we get breached!Trump is selling our secrets
Don’t forget how he is firing all the top leadership at the Pentagon and disbanning the Defense Department Policy Board. Why are these people taking jobs that will only last a couple weeks?
Agree! This looks so inside job!
@Joel Hummel Ya, but I would rather be part of the group of people who aren’t dealing with misinformation and conspiracy theories. It’s hard to be the arbiter of truth when you’re doing the same thing as the other side.
@Helen Rockefeller You do realize the Democrats existed LONG before Trump came along, right? Like the Republican and Obama, Clinton and Biden, the Democrats will find someone else to direct their attention at when Trump is gone in another month.
@Bklynite 86 you will be surprised.
This is why the republicans are trying a coup
Proof?
@moisturizer the 126 who signed onto the Texas lawsuit claiming fraud in 4 swing states Biden won.
A few of them had to apologize after the SCOTUS shot it down.
oh wow
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh yes
@Eureka they should all be removed from office and banned from all government work
Wonder why there’s a security breach, look who we have for president,and the whole administration 🤔
Literally what are you talking about? none of these old dudes have any idea how to do computer security. 100% of the responsibility is contractors and enlisted Military cyber security.
All of a sudden there’s a breach. COME ONE NOW.
Isnt it part of the fleeing dictators handbook that says to pillage the central banks on the way to the airport?
Did they check Trumps whereabouts? Total CORRUPTION in OUR HOUSE.
he does use an unsecured cell phone that the Secret Service keeps tabs on
Goh wow
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh yes
https://youtu.be/wEoLwE8CnO0 found him
@moisturizer Oh you funny little boy. When you become man you will understand. Quit the Cult little one.
@Priscilla Robb you need to be shakin like a rag doll babe. ☠️
That’s probably Trump’s doing, trying to erase proof of the stealing.
Exactly!…this is reason another stimulus package was never approved and why he never purchased more than 100 million doses of Pfizer vaccine.
my first thought ..Trump
He isn’t smart enough.
@Jennifer Mcafee Well, I have don’t know about the hacking, but I have no doubt smarter people have whispered in Donnie’s ear for years. He could never have thought up all these foolish election lawsuits on his own. Of course, geniuses didn’t come up with them either, they are meant entirely as fundraisers.
@Lance yeah your money dummie.
Trump is a russian agent ffs only Trumpists don’t know that.
Seize Trump’s passport: the criminal cannot be allowed to escape.
