Romanian Hackers Compromised DC Security Cameras Prior to Inauguration

Washington, DC – Two Romanian nationals have been arrested and charged with hacking into approximately 123 computers that control outdoor surveillance cameras for the DC Metropolitan Police Department in connection with a Ransomeware scheme just before Donald Trump’s inauguration last January. According to documents recently unsealed, Mihai Alexandru Isvanca, 25, and Eveline Cismaru, 28, of Romania, were arrested on Dec. 15, at the airport in Bucharest, Romania. Both have been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit various forms of computer fraud. Isvanca remains in custody in Romania and Cismaru is on house arrest there pending further legal proceedings. “This case was of the highest priority due to its impact on the Secret Service’s protective mission and its potential effect on the security plan for the 2017 Presidential Inauguration,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office in DC said in a statement. All surveillance cameras were restored prior to the inauguration.

FWIW: The several times I saw Wolff at the White House, he was cleared-in with a blue 'appointment" badge allowing West Wing access, rather than a gray "press" badge.

Saw him walk in through the West Wing lobby and not the briefing room doors, as is standard for press.

"It is my solemn duty to inform you that we're arresting Trump, Pence and you at 5 PM Eastern, so the Hatch prophecy can be fulfilled."

FBI Director Wray was invited to this meeting too but reporters did not see him

Last night, Eric Trump tweeted a skeptical post, side eyeing Twitter’s “Who to follow” suggestions. “Shocking. Once again, here are the @Twitter ‘suggestions’ of who I should follow. #DeepState,” Trump tweeted. Included with the tweet was a screenshot which included Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and DeGeneres.
