“US ramping up cyber attacks on Russia”

That’s an interesting story, but this part of the story is especially eye-catching:

President Donald Trump had not been briefed in any detail about the US computer code being implanted inside the Russian grid. Pentagon and intelligence officials describe to the Times “broad hesitation” to tell Trump about the details of the operations against Russia. They tell the Times there was concern over how Trump would react, and the possibility that Trump might reverse the operations or discuss it with foreign officials. In 2017, Trump shared highly classified information with the Russian foreign minister and Russian ambassador to the US in a White House meeting.”

These intel officials are worried about the President keeping a secret, but they told the failing NY Times! Can’t Trump (and for that matter Putin) now read about it? Isn’t this the kind of thing that is better kept a complete secret? (Unless it’s a bluff designed to keep the Russians madly digging through their code.)
