I'm wondering if anyone else is concerned about this...?

While the Russians may have developed this capability by themselves, senior counterintelligence officials also feared that someone from within the U.S. government — a Russian mole — may have helped them, said former officials. “You’re wondering, ‘If this is true, and they can do this, is this because someone on the inside has given them that information?’’ said another former senior intelligence official.

Mark Kelton, who served as the chief of counterintelligence at the CIA until he retired in 2015, declined to discuss specific Russian operations, but he told Yahoo News that “the Russians are a professionally proficient adversary who have historically penetrated every American institution worth penetrating.”

This remains a core worry for U.S. spy hunters. The number of ongoing espionage investigations into U.S. government personnel — at the CIA, the FBI and elsewhere — including those potentially recruited by Russia, “is not a little, it’s a lot,” said another former senior counterintelligence official.
Not sure how something 3 years old is suddenly a thing to worry about.
@WalksWith Yes. But again what is the point of getting alarmed by it 3 years after it matters.

you obviously didn't read the article...
@WalksWith Just because you noticed something relevant does not magically make it obvious to everyone.
A little concerned, but it doesn't seem like our biggest intelligence problem.
