Why Russia s massive cyberattack is especially insidious Daniel Howley
President Donald Trump on Saturday downplayed the significance of a massive Russian cyberattack that continues to spread, touching everything from Cox Communications to an Arizona county to the U.S. agency that oversees the nation’s nuclear arsenal.
“The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control,” Trump tweeted.
However, experts say even more victims will likely emerge. Perhaps the most stunning part of the attack is that it was perpetrated using the very services designed to keep computer networks safe in the first place: system updates. The hackers did this by secretly implanting malicious code into software updates, then activating the code to launch the attacks weeks later to further cover their tracks.
