Luke Penn-Hall seems to have gotten the hack of the Democratic National Committee right. [http://thecipherbrief.com/article/tech/goldilocks-and-two-bears-1092 ]. The story today names two Russian Intelligence Services, both the FSB and the GRU (military intelligence) hacked the DNC, according to this report. The FSB had been in the DNC for over a year, and their operation was disrupted by a clumsy hack done by the GRU which was not coordinating their operations. Not only that, Hall says it was the GRU that wanted the information on Trump that was stolen.
So, today's announcement by a single hacker that he hacked the DNC by himself seems like it is a little less credible today than yesterday. It was not very believable to begin with, but certainly believable by those who wanted it to be true. Now, we will know the Russians are the ones spreading the information about Trump that was collected by the DNC.
Gee, we thought Putin was going to get along well with Donald Trump. I guess the Russian Military didn't think so. The problem with autocratic governments like the ones in China and Russia is their military is not always under control and doing what the Chairman of the Party really wants. They sometimes operate with their own agenda. It is easy for that kind of thing to get of hand, if it really was not intended. The FSB seemed to be observing and not taking much of anything, which is the real objective of this kind of activity. You can bet they are not happy about this being undone.
