FBI Director Robert S. Mueller is pointing the
finger of blame while the hackers are giving him the finger
Last July when I was in lovely London for a few months, while walking down Park Lane I spotted a credit card on the ground. As the sidewalk is gray at that spot, as was the credit card, most people didn’t see it. However, as I have a habit of looking down when I walk, I saw it. I picked up the card and looked at it. I checked the back for the information of the issuing bank, so I could send the card to them. It was a high level credit card issued by the Belgium branch of Deutsche Bank.
I contacted the London branch of Deutsche Bank and offered to mail them the card I found, as they had no commercial branches listed. They asked me if I could come to the investment branch of the bank instead and I did and gave the card to their computer security department, who called Belgium to locate the owner while I was there.
President Barack Obama to Eric Holder: you know
they hacked your stuff, right?!
Turns out the card holder is an executive, who is head of security at a multi-billion dollar company. Had I posted that I’d found his card, he probably would have lost his job, which I didn’t want to happen, as who knows how the card ended up on the ground in the first place. So, I dropped the card off at the investment branch of the bank instead.
Having stated that, Holder and Mueller aren’t executives at a large corporation. They are two high ranking, albeit chronically corrupt, members of government directly responsible for national security. Mrs. Obama can’t be blamed for being hacked, but Holder and Mueller bear some responsibility, especially considering they have a tie to the very people who hacked them that they managed to tick off. It would make for a very interesting congressional hearing.
