Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska said the U.S. government halted cyber operations against Russia for one day in February as President Trump was trying to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, confirming CBS News reporting at the time and undercutting statements of denial from the Defense Department.

Sweet baby Jesus this is insane.

Look, I do cybersecurity. I've been at this 25+ years. If you ever see "Advanced Persistent Threat" (APT) in the news, it means advanced hackers from countries like North Korea, Iran, Russia, China, etc.

APT groups are always out there hacking, trying to break into computers in the military, government, critical infrastructure, and anything else.

• 1999, Moonlight Maze -- US investigation of a 1996-1999 Russian cyberattack against NASA, the Pentagon, the US military, civilian academics and government agencies.

• 2015 -- breached sensitive parts of White House. "among the most sophisticated attacks ever launched against U.S. government systems."

• 2016 -- release of hacked emails belonging to the Democratic National Committee and others

• 2018, the United States Computer Emergency Response Team alerted that Russian hackers were targeting small commercial facilities to gain remote control of energy sector networks collecting recon on Industrial Control Systems [the devices that control, or could break, critical infrastructure]
