I would be absolutely shocked if the US’ three letter agencies did not have some form of custom tooling to detect this — especially considering the sophisticated multi-vector I/O exploitation they demonstrated a decade ago with Stuxnet and the Equation Group.
Regardless of your views on his policy, Trump has demonstrated zero respect for opsec — even in a national security context — so I would also not be surprised if those three letter agencies have decided the White House is untrustworthy with its cyber warfare capabilities.
- vanattab 8y agoLook, I hate Trump as much as the next guy(or gal) but do we really have to make EVERYTHING about trump.?
- untog 8y agoIn this case we kind of do. The USB stick was recovered from a woman who was visiting Mar a Lago. Trump conducts government business there a lot, in a break with pretty much all advice. It's an incredibly insecure location.
