He has plenty of time for golfing, and trying to overturn democracy. But a major threat to national security? Not so much.

Officials close to the matter told Politico that the NNSA has evidence of hackers gaining access to the agency’s networks in a mass spy operation that also hacked various other U.S. agencies. The officials don’t yet know what information hackers have been able to access or steal – and it may take weeks to find out.
In addition to evidence of hacking in the NNSA’s networks, officials also identified suspicious network activity in the networks of The Energy Department, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories.
The latest agencies are believed to have been accessed via software provided by SolarWinds, which estimates that up to 18,000 of its users – government and private clients alike – could’ve been hacked. Other users of SolarWinds software include the Department of Defense, the State Department, and others.
