Okay, this is a cr@p story.DHS tests critical network infrastructure to see if it can resist a cyber-attack by staging mock attacks.Whatever faults are found are then given to the owner with recommendations on how to fix them. (it's better to be proactive and find/fix the faults BEFORE a malicious threat appears)Trump's going to investigate that?!? If so, then he's stupider than he already appears.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-security_regulationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cyber_Security_Divisionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Computer_Emergency_Readiness_Team
I'm pretty sure DHS would notify the organization being tested that the mock cyber attack will occur. If for no other reason than to prevent what is going on now.
Ok, maybe it's my bad eyesight, but I don't see in the article where it's mentioned that Obama himself will be targeted in this investigation. The headline doesn't seem to match the content.That said, this investigation is most welcome.
No, then they wouldn't get a good read on their normal security efforts.
Totally agree. Sensationalist headline from this source building on sensationalist headline from Daily Caller referencing a much ado about nothing story. Obama is not being investigated. Just an inquiry into DHS probing networks which is pretty normal.
