Is this a joke? There are 2 pages of 13 saying the hacks happened and when, then they say the Russian did it, and then 8 pages of generic hacking techniques and general practices to avoid. Probably cut and pasted from a 101 intro lecture on cyber security. It's not working. I am not infuriated at the Russians for hacking the DNC and Podesta and passing the results to the press. I didn't vote for Hillary and I am glad someone did hack and allow the truth to get out on the skulduggery that the DNC had going on. I don't even think this angers the idiots who were manipulated by the massive sums of money spent to influence their views by large financial players and the massive false news campaigns led by CNN, MSNBC, to push false accusations of groping and sexual assault. According to the the narrative, any one who's pulls back the curtain on the Great and Powerful Oz is an enemy of the state and threat to national security. Where is Julian Assange today ? |

Yeah, this has to be a joke.
Surely these people are not this incompetent. |

Wow that's some attribution "APT28 is Russian". I would think that in order to really call it attribution you would have an actor or group that you could definitively name.
Also are they saying that Grizzly Steppe is APT28 and APT29 or what? They just have a couple of graphics with no explination. |

I find it disgusting how the Democrat Party blathers on about how the Republicans are in bed with Vladimir Putin and the Russian government... Blah blah blah... Republicans are a threat the US soverienty... blah blah blah .... Republicans promote terrorism... blah blah blah...
No, you fucking morons. We just understand that the Democrat Party is a much greater threat to the United States of America than Russia. Democrats are importing terrorists, not Russia. Democrats are destroying the economy, not Russia. Democrats are destroying healthcare, not the Russians. Democrats blame America for the entire world's problems, not Russia. Democrats seek to diminish the status and power of the United States. If anything, THEY are colluding with Russia to accomplish that goal. |
|
So basically 1 sentence of "It was the Russians because we say so" followed by 2 pages of "They tricked people into clicking malicious links" and then 11 pages of what can only be described as a summary of a corporate security compliance training video.
Nice. |

That is absolutely all they need to "validate" the accusations among the faithful.
I work with a guy who will hold up his iPad, show me a face book picture, and point to it saying "see, they proved that the election was hacked", that BS report will carry the weight of the word of a god to those people. |

View Quote MFNI I, for one, could care less what group/country/ or whom hacked the DNC and Hitlery's email. You showed us the true face of the DNC. Thank you The funny part is, our gov is getting their panties in a wad about it. About being exposed, not about the massive levels of corruption. And all that has happened, yet, is they lost an election. No heads have rolled. No one has been executed except by Hitlery, but none of that matters. The Russians showed us our own corruption within our gov. Heaven forbid... |

So Russia allegedly suckers DNC uses a technique any cyber-savvy teenager could pull off, revealing corruption within the group while leaving a traceable trail?
![]() C'mon, FBI! Just how stupid and gullible do you think we are? |

They gave it a code name "Grizzle Steppe" and released a "report" so the MSM can repeat that over and over on the evening news to the Hillary faithful. If they didn't release a "report" to back up their claims they'd never be believed again, especially after Putin challenged them to release the information.
They released it with the code name, knowing that the report will be repeated by the MSM and read by almost no one. What's important to them is FEELZ over facts, and this report satisfies their FEELZ so they can say they have "proof" of Russian involvement. Sad when this kind of obvious "filler" is actually treated as legitimate. |

I know jack shit about hacking computers, and I could have done a better job and would have made it much more believable. Geez, there are proposed statutes that do absolutely NOTHING that are three to four times longer than this BS.

Once the MSM broadcasts this report, in 80% of the public's mind, this will be official, and questioning it will make you a conspiracy nut. |

I skimmed through it expecting something that I might be able to say yeah smoking gun. Not that most of us would really be able to. But it didn't give me an OMG moment. We know they are always trying to get in our stuff and vice versa. I think it has more to do with them trying to make the Trump win illegitimate.

So they are mad that the truth of their corruption has been exposed, and now they need a scapegoat and a way to delegitimize Trump's win.
Brought to us by the same people who gave us the airport meeting between Bill Clinton and lynch, the Benghazi cover up, using the IRS as a political weapon, fast and furious gun running, destabilizing egypt, libya, and syria, meddling in Israel's presidential election, and changing the rules to get obola care passed. If they were interested in the sanctity of democratic elections why did they conspire against their commie fellow traveller Bernie. These people are totally full of shit and have no integrity. |

View Quote It is quite a stretch. I read it last night. The key was that being duped by a phishing email is now some form of sophisticated hacking and you need to deploy all those "best practices" (looked like something every security vendor gives to their customers). The YARA signature was a nice touch. It basically matches any cookie with ._de in it that is between 20 and 22KB. This is a very low quality signature. This was published as a political tool, to prove they have evidence pointing to Russia. Instead it showed the following about whoever may have "done" it. They used spearphishing, like every other hacker ever. They broadly targeted 1,000 targets, like every other hacker ever. They used URL encoding, like every other hacker ever (it helps hook the phish). They exfiltrate information, like every other hacker ever. They use the exfiltrated information and credentials to further craft targeted spearphishing attacks, like every other hacker ever. They establish command/control nodes, like every other hacker ever. They obfuscate their source infrastructure, like every other hacker ever. (I assume this means that they’re accessing their command/control nodes through one or more proxies, like every other hacker ever.) |

My position is rather nuanced: Did the Russian government attempt to influence the US election? Sure. Plenty of evidence points that way. Did the Russian actually change the outcome of the election? No. The DNC running a terrible candidate who ran a terrible campaign far outweighed anything the Russians did. |

It's a piece of shit written by incompetent people who were told to make some shit up. I don't frankly give a fuck if the DNC was "hacked" by any means. I'm sure they were, and it probably wasn't just the russians if anyone ever actually proves the Russians did have anything to do with it. They're incompetent and criminal, and their gmail accounts (as you say) had nothing to do with winning or losing the election. The story you're falling for here is that the Russians "hacked the election", and that story is false and has one goal -- delegitimizing the guy who won the election on the eve of his inauguration as the current administration tries their damnedest to start a fucking war with Russia on their way out the door. BTW, I don't give a fuck what Crowdstrike was paid to say by the DNC. Maybe it's accurate and maybe it's not. Democrats lie -- that's been proven over and over and over during this election cycle in case anyone hadn't figured that out before. |

Its not the Russians. This has more to do with Barret Brown, Anonymous and a private war between them and the White house. Anonymous and their ilk see themselves as fighting the good fight when they expose the .gov doing dirty deeds. When the feds went after people exposing what was going on, Anonymous took that as a challenge.
Its kind of like the sillyness with ISIS. ISIS and Anonymous say they are going to attack, the do attack, take credit for the attack but then our glorious leader says its someone else, aka a lone radicalized individual or the Russians. |
