Dear Senator (letters to be mailed tomorrow)
Post# of 82672
Senator Angus King stated in his MPBN interview that “The next Pearl Harbor will be cyber and, by the way, we are already under attack!” He’s right. As a retired USAF Intelligence officer I became concerned enough over what National Security Advisor John Bolton said on Sunday 8/21/18 to write to every US Senator. He stated that “Four countries: Russia, China, North Korea and Iran may try to interfere in our elections.” My concern was heightened recently by the POTUS when he spoke at the United Nations. He stated “China has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming election.” You’ll recall the conclusion of the joint 17 intelligence agencies’ report on Russia’s hacking of our last election. The 12 active duty Russian military intelligence (GRU) officers, whose DOJ indictment was announced by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, used key loggers to do so. A key logger is a zero-day, or man-in-the-middle, attack not stopped by anti-virus software. Multi-Factor-Authorization/Out-Of-Band-Authentication (MFA/OOBA) is required to do so. We all need up-to-date anti-virus software. Now, we also need MFA/OOBA defensive software to prevent keylogging and other elusive threats or polymorphic malware. To understand this better, please go to You Tube and watch some anti-keylogging videos. As you are aware, the DOD, US intelligence community and USCG worldwide is now installing McAfee security software to counter this cyber warfare threat. Please be aware; I am not a McAfee employee or shareholder. What I am is someone who took the same oath of office as you: “To protect and defend the Constitution of the US against all enemies foreign and domestic.” These four foreign powers: Russia, China, North Korea and Iran, now threaten the keystone of our Republic: our free and fair elections.
Consequently, I am soliciting your support of the Secure Elections Act S 2593. Please ensure that the final draft includes wording about the necessity of MFA/OOBA defensive software. This bill was co-sponsored by my state’s Senator, Angus King of Maine. Please help him get it out of the Rules and Administration Committee, voted on and funded in time to protect our 2020 elections from any foreign interference. I don’t want: Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un or Hassan Rouhani voting for me!
If I can be of any further assistance in this matter please don’t hesitate to contact me at: personal contact info withheld
Still your Officer,
