Three offers: a smart watch, a spiffy camera, and a heat sensor thermometer. The source for all 3 came up as Russian Federation.

In my book, this is worse than the crap I get from the Trump campaign. I read recently that the Russians are starting phishing campaigns in the US — do you think this might be related, and have any of you gotten anything like this?

1. No

But one time, back when I had Facebook, I remember getting some kind of notification that my account had been logged into from somewhere in Russia. Since they're a second-rate economy and a third-rate military (with their 1 crappy aircraft carrier), they're relying heavily on cyber crime.

A very upset Sen. Bloomenthal saying that the public needs to know to what extent the interference is that's going on. So be wary. He had just been to a closed door briefing.
