Former senior CIA spy Daniel Hoffman told Just the News Editor-in-Chief John Solomon on John Solomon Reports this week that the United States is in "incident response" mode following the attack, what Hoffman characterized as "the last place you want to be." "It looks like it was a hack from Russia's external intelligence service," said Hoffman, a former CIA station chief in Moscow. "And it looks like this was just a massive cyber attack, which began by all accounts last March. And the Russians were able to penetrate the state and local and federal governments, Department of Homeland Security, the Energy Department, [and] our National Nuclear Security Administration."
