Brigadier General: “We need an overall investigation!” Many believe the Russian govt is behind the attack, Senators Warner and Rubio want one person in the Executive Branch to oversee the investigation. Part of any breach of this size: there may be others we don't know about, Russians Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, Chinese, perhaps the US —all are real pros at this. Govt stopped trying defend the perimeter; now, “zero trust”—anyone wanting to access info must prove his credentials to do so. OPM Act. A76s, forms to get a security clearance. Are we asking the right questions? C4ISRnet. A cyber hack:trying to disable something or cause something bad to happen (damage a water system, for example). Cyberespionage: same as traditional; one nati0n-state trying to get info about another nation-state. Certainly, China is an imminent threat.
