#1 LOL. Epic Fail.

The 'hacking terminal' in Fallout 4 (and 3) are more a guessing game than anything else.

As shown in the article you are given 6-8 or more words interspread with special characters and you get set number of 'tries' to select the 'password' After each failed selection it will tell you how many characters in the selected word are correct and in the correct position. So if you think about it you can almost always figure out which is the right word. And even if you dont' and use up all your attempts, it resets itself and you can try again in 30 wecond wiht a new puzzle and password.

Almost as easy to crack as Hillary's email server.

There was even an android app which would figure it out for you.

#2 Do none of the MSM organizations have some kind of expert on this topic? Or can they not at least borrow one?

#4 As long as the Russian hacking story continues, the Clinton emails and Foundation story rests comfortably in the dead file.

#6 CNN struggles for relevancy and to remove the "Fake news" tag. It may go titzup up before that ever happens.

Apparently not. Or else they figure most of their viewers are too ignorant to detect the bullshit.
