US officials' Gmail wasn't hacked; they handed their passwords over

US government "officials" have walked right into being used as a ploy of the government to rattle more cyber sabers against the Chinese. The goal of this is what the Chinese say it is, to provide more panem et circenses as the USA topples regimes across the world to freshen them up with new puppets, and expend more weapons.

Article after article says Gmail accounts were "hacked" in the headline to get your attention or to tell passer-by that it was a "violent" act when the body of the article describes it differently. The users were tricked through phishing. After screwing up, stupid people don't admit they were tricked, they try to hide it by blaming it all on "the other."

Gmail Hack Targeted White House ? The idiots in the White House should learn how to use a computer. Phishing isn't hacking no matter how they try to redefine it. Phishing needs an idiot to respond. It's as stupid as handing a girl in a bar in Washington your password... or files.

The government has acknowledged senior administration officials were
targeted in the "phishing'' attacks on hundreds of users of the email
service. White House officials declined to discuss who was targeted.

They weren't hacked. Their stupid government users were asked for the passwords which they stupidly supplied to the adversary. Are you really being tricked when you enter it into a fake web page or answer an email or inquiry, are you just stupid and hiding it by pointing your finger ?

People who work at the White House were among those targeted by the China-based hackers who broke into Google Inc.'s Gmail accounts, according to one U.S. official.

How are the China-based hackers "breaking in" if they were given the password by the government fools you pay to keep you safe and run this government nose first into the dirt ?

Gmail accounts weren't "hacked" when passwords were stupidly handed to the people seeking them. The government "officials" were tricked because they're idiots and now that they were tricked, they're screaming that they were hacked to cover their own incompetence. Hacking is active. Typing your password into a fake web pages or being tricked into telling someone your password is as much your fault as the spy seeking it.

The federal government fended off another targeted phishing attack in
April, according to the Department of Homeland Security. One of these
attacks "seriously impacted" a U.S. government facility. "Several
employees at the facility were lured into clicking a link in the bogus
e-mail that contained malware, which spread rapidly and extensively
across the business IT network," according to a department report.

They were "lured" ? No matter how you say it, they didn't do their job.

Google, funded by the CIA at minimum through IN-Q-TEL and the NSA's handmaiden, uses child-like wonderment and Disney language to counsel the clueless:

Bad actors take advantage of the fact that most people aren’t that tech savvy—hijacking accounts by using malware and phishing scams that trick users into sharing their passwords, or by using passwords obtained by hacking other websites. Most account hijackings are not very targeted; they are designed to steal identities, acquire financial data or send spam. But some attacks are targeted at specific individuals.

I think my IQ dropped just reading that.

US government morons who got their jobs because daddy handed it to them, his friends did, or who got jobs by stepping on others or screwing the right person caused this bread and circus distraction, not "bad actors."

The goal of this effort seems to have been to monitor the contents of these users’ emails, with the perpetrators apparently using stolen passwords to change peoples’ forwarding and delegation settings. (Gmail enables you to forward your emails automatically, as well as grant others access to your account.)

Google detected and has disrupted this campaign to take users’ passwords and monitor their emails. We have notified victims and secured their accounts. In addition, we have notified relevant government authorities.

The USA has spied on its own citizens for over 9 years. Is Google going to disrupt the AT & T, Comcast and Verizon splice rooms that are known to exist like 641A among many others ? Or the splices made in undersea cables prior to the "revolts" in the Arab world ? They weren't "cut". They were tapped/ spliced most likely by the submarine Jimmy Carter. It's in so many hundreds of sources that there's no point to even linking to many here. Google it.

Google said that the Gmail users whose accounts had been penetrated included “senior US government officials, Chinese political activists, officials in several Asian countries (predominantly South Korea), military personnel and journalists”.

Is this the same USA that wants you to think that this "China" activity is such a crime ? The USA is concerned about "activists" suddenly when it brands its own as terror threats even though George HW Bush was meeting with the bin Ladens the morning of 9/11 ? Did you ?

O puer, qui omnia nomini debes

This blog is written in the unvarnished truth by an Ottaviano. That's Octavianus, Octavian, Octavius, Octavia, Octavii... some intel nit wit keeps editing the commonly used Wikipedia as Google and Youtube delinks Ottaviano and Octavianus, etc, out of their abject fear of real history. Now they've shoved Cardinal Ottaviani who worked with the OSS and Martin S. Quigley to the back of the searches too. Their goal is to throw off any casual looker seeking to confirm this. It's not the politically correct nonsense of a Globalist publishing house with a post-WWII agenda of anti-Roman, anti-Italian, and anti-Goyim lies.

I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Honors in History from Trinity College and needed only a second thesis or exam to get the B.A. in Political Science or International Relations. I was oddly told that they were "redundant" even though many now get both. I then refused to become a sock puppet like others are, and was maimed on purpose to a near heart transplant, nerve damage, and internal bleeding by a bunch of Globalist government paranoids acting through Merck. Their Germanic and Jewish ancestors rioted against my family in Rome with this purpose, assassinated lawful Emperors and defiled the Mausoleum of Augustus in Rome. Stop believing what you were conditioned to think out of post WWII guilt. Nero didn't burn Rome; the fiddle they now say he played wasn't invented until the 16th century, and Nero was assassinated by their ancestors ending our rule. An unlawful coup took hold in 476 and continues unchallenged.

After all of that, on 31 May 2008, my 62 year old father dropped dead in front of me as two fighters hundreds of miles from their base flew over. Connecticut politicians Richard Blumenthal, Joe Courtney and my father's student Susan Bysiewicz held up both the ambulance and AED which should have been 1000 feet away for their own paranoid protection. That left my mother with $62 a month and no pension. You bet it was retaliation by the people who maimed me that I now attack, but hadn't uttered a word about until after that.

I'm also a ham radio operator, but most of the new hams are incompetent un-opinionated fake emergency responder mush mouths since they dropped the IQ test.

Benjamin Disraeli

"There is in Italy a power which we seldom mention in this House ... I mean the secret societies.... It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, that a great part of Europe--the whole of Italy and France and a great portion of Germany, to say nothing of other countries--is covered with a network of these secret societies, just as the superficies of the earth is now being covered with railroads. And what are their objects? They do not attempt to conceal them. They do not want constitutional government; they do not want ameliorated institutions ... they want to change the tenure of land, to drive out the present owners of the soil and to put an end to ecclesiastical establishments. Some of them may go further...."

in the House of Commons, July 14, 1856

Nicolo Machiavelli

"Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you."

John Locke

"but where no such appeal is, as in the state of nature, for want of positive laws, and judges with authority to appeal to, the state of war once begun, continues, with a right to the innocent party to destroy the other whenever he can, until the aggressor offers peace, and desires reconciliation on such terms as may repair any wrongs he has already done, and secure the innocent for the future; nay, where an appeal to the law, and constituted judges, lies open, but the remedy is denied by a manifest perverting of justice, and a barefaced wresting of the laws to protect or indemnify the violence or injuries of some men, or party of men, there it is hard to imagine any thing but a state of war: for wherever violence is used, and injury done, though by hands appointed to administer justice, it is still violence and injury, however coloured with the name, pretences, or forms of law, the end whereof being to protect and redress the innocent, by an unbiassed application of it, to all who are under it; wherever that is not bona fide done, war is made upon the sufferers, who having no appeal on earth to right them, they are left to the only remedy in such cases, an appeal to heaven."

The "innovative" electric car

MR. MAXIM," asked New Haven Carriage-Maker William Hooker Atwood in 1896, "do you want this carriage to look like a Western buggy-maker's job or do you want it to be a gentleman's carriage?" Answered Hiram Percy Maxim, builder of the Mark I Electric Phaeton: "Like a gentleman's carriage, Mr. Atwood." For almost half a century, the U.S. automobile was indeed a "gentleman's carriage," built for men and bought on the basis of its mechanical excellence, not its sculptured lines or pleasing colors.
