Honey Trap: Dozens of G20 Diplomats Get Hacked After They Click on a Link Promising Naked Pictures of Carla Bruni

Smart diplomacy.

This sounds like a funny story. It's not, quite: Hackers successfully breached dozens of computers (and maybe more than dozens).

The level of damage has not been figured out yet -- and this all happened in 2011.

The suspected culprit? China.

These are our "Best and Brightest" -- or at least they always tell us so.

It should be noted that Carla Bruni took her clothes off a lot when she was younger, so Naked Carla Bruni pictures should not be considered some Holy Grail of Nudity. These people could have just Binged for pictures.

But instead they clicked on a sketchy attachment, and got hacked.

Nude pictures of former French first lady Carla Bruni were used to break in to the computer systems of dozens of diplomats, it emerged today.

The shocking security breach was first discovered at the G20 summit in Paris in February 2011 and may be ongoing.

‘To see naked pictures of Carla Bruni click here’ said a message sent to those attending, who included finance ministers and central bank representatives.

...

This prompted many to open an attachment which turned out to be a ‘Trojan Horse’ with an embedded virus, although all recipients could see were the X-rated photographs.

Once accessed, it infected the computers of senior officials as well as forwarding the offensive email on to others.

‘Almost everybody who received the email took the bait,’ said a government source in Paris, saying that this included representatives from the Czech Republic, Portugal, Bulgaria, Hungary and Latvia.

...

The so-called phishing attacks are thought to have originated in China and were aimed at extracting information.

The attacks are still being investigated, and nobody is yet sure what information was extracted.

America is thought to have been the main target of the scam.

The arrogance of our non-elite elites is a serious danger to Western democracy and security.

Draw and Strike considers this danger, suggesting Obamacare is the bonfire of the progressive New Class' vanities.

Not that they've noticed. They still think they're doin' just fine.

HOW OBAMACARE DESTROYS SELF-ANOINTED ELITES ILLUSION OF COMPETENCY

The biggest damage from the developing ObamaCare trainwreck is to the carefully crafted illusion that progressives have worked so hard to create for the past several decades: that Big Government self-anointed elites in Washington DC are competent super-managers of sterling character who can be trusted with an ever-increasing amount of power and control over the lives of citizens.

The Washington Post obtained a memo that detailed the White House in-fighting over how ObamaCare should be implemented. The memo goes over the struggle within the administration between what it dubs 'the economics team', who argued for bringing in private sector specialists with experience at start ups and complex problem solving of the magnitude that the ACA called for, and the 'political team' who wanted fast implementation by it's own in-house political staffers who fully believed they were up to the job.

...

When the political team won the debate, many members of the economics team, such as Larry Summers and Christina Roemer, jumped ship to avoid the looming disaster they saw coming. Recent developments have shown their decision was prescient. The political team that thought itself supremely competent to launch something of the size and scope of the ACA despite having had no such prior experience has now been exposed as totally inadequate.

As the scope of the abject failures involved in ObamaCare's implementation mount, even the die-hard Old media completely in the tank as propaganda arms of the DNC have to shake their head in bewilderment at how they are going to spin a disaster this obvious.

Thanks to Andy, @theh2.
