Barr: 'Severe' consequences if foreign government behind HHS cyberattack during coronavirus outbreak

Attorney General William Barr vowed there would be “severe” consequences if a foreign country was behind the cyberattack against the Health and Human Services Department's website on Sunday or behind the false coronavirus rumors swirling in recent days.

The HHS website was hit by a denial-of-service cyberattack on Sunday night, apparently designed to disrupt efforts to combat the spread of the growing COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.

“When you’re dealing with something like a denial-of-service attack on HHS during a pandemic, that’s a very grave action for another country to take,” Barr told the Associated Press on Tuesday. “So, if it is another country doing this, I’m sure the ramifications will be severe.”

Barr and Graham are the same. For goodness sake Barr praises Ron Rosensmuck for being Mr wonderful. Name ONE person being investigated for Russia? Ukraine ? Hunter ? Nothing will happen.

I don’t believe China would target Korea, Iran, Italy, or its own citizenry. They claim the US attacked them. If so the blow back could be crazy.

Either way we have entered a new level of military depravity. Or is that naive? I hope it has never been this bad in the past.
