Here comes the MSM fake news once again, pushing the Russia narrative. Sad that toms is buying into it. Because of course our western agencies never do anything dodgy in the other direction. 😀 (ref wikileaks last year)

Just because the West may be doing it, does not mean the Russians aren't also doing it.

How does repeating a statement from the US GOV Computer emergency readiness team fake news? They are literally repeating the information from the government. https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA18-106A

You don't need Russia as an excuse to be patching servers and firmware. If it's not already being done, this FUD isn't going to expedite the need anyways.

Murica at it again, pointing fingers everywhere but not at themselves, and UK should deal with its own immigration problems before jumping on Russia.

Glitch, your are right - this time is for real. But Mapesdhs is right regarding previous fake news reports. Regardless, this is just the way things are to be from this point on. Technology has a price to be paid whenever it is used.

Hasn't China and other nations been using the same tactics for the last 20 years? Weird that we never see articles written about those nations. Almost as if MSM wants to keep propping Russia up as this giant singular threat and blame them for anything that goes array.
The same Russia who portrayed as a poor, blabbering, toothless, harmless country during Obama's 8 years.

All governments participate in this type of scenario.
