As an insider, I’ll say it’s a selective reading of the facts on the verge of hyperbole.
That is absolutely not the case.
It is absolutely the case.
I worked network defense for Network Warfare Command.
There is literally nobody on earth more qualified than me than me to make the statement I did.
You’re aware that the DoD is more than just the navy, yes? Also, the defender’s having missed a bunch of intrusions is literally exactly what this report is saying. Sorry to be the one to tell you.
If this is true, why now?
Budget.
I could see that being the case, drumming up the situation so they get more funding to fix the problem. At least I hope that is the case, over the alternative.
What’s the downside? It’s not like they have a customer base whose trust they need to keep.
