A Russian hacker believed to be a member of a hacking collective called Lurk said in court over the summer that he was ordered by Russia's security services, known as the FSB, to hack the Democratic National Committee.
The hacker, Konstantin Kozlovsky, told a Moscow court in August of this year that his nine-member hacking group — which has been accused of stealing over $17 million from Russia's largest financial institutions since 2013 — has been cooperating with the FSB for several years, according to the independent Russian news outlet The Bell. Part of that cooperation included hacking the DNC, he said.
Kozlovsky said during a hearing on August 15 that he "performed various tasks under the supervision of FSB officers," including a DNC hack and cyberattacks on "very serious military enterprises of the United States and other organizations." Minutes from the hearing, as well as an audio recording, were posted on Kozlovsky's Facebook page.
The Bell said it confirmed their authenticity with two sources, including a person who was present at the hearing. Kozlovsky also posted a letter that he wrote on November 1, 2016. The letter outlined what he said was his work for the FSB, which he said had spanned nearly a decade and, most recently, involved attacking the DNC servers.
Well so much for this story about Russians hacking our election being "fake news."
On that last point Politifact has now determined the denial that Russia interfered in our election to be the "Lie of the Year."
Well isn't that adorable, now Donald Trump and Sarah Palin have yet another thing in common.
OT?

ReplyDeleteI bet if Roy Moore and his wife went to a Halloween party, Roy would go as a cowboy and his trailer park wife would be a tatted up biker momma.
DeleteToo bad the horse didn't toss him and stomp the shit out of him for bouncing all over the poor things back.

They don't do music like they used to. For all those who grew up in this era, yessssss!
DeleteIf given enough time and lies, right wingers would believe the Forest Gump character was modeled after Donald Trump, Medal of Honor and all.
ReplyDeleteI was not necessarily a content person, because of the dotard. However, I was oblivious to some outside influences.
ReplyDeleteThen out of the blue , Palin is back!!! I thought maybe the shank sore was dead?
I detest the bitch !! She is a bad seed!!
She goes me nightmares about stupidity and ignorance and hate.
Our country has been so entangled with Putin's minions it's hard to know where we start and they end. And that is the way Putin wants it. Where you can't tell between an American and Russian. People keep saying follow the money.
ReplyDeleteLike when Palins overly priced house got sold, did Russian money do that?
The story gets curiouser and curiouser.
I'll say one thing about Sarah --- she may have been right about the death panels. Well, not really. They may be on the way, but not part of ACA. No, if they get here it will be compliments of the GOP and their dismantling of the ACA and the resultant lack of money for cancer care for so many covered by ACA. Wonder if she, or any other right wing nut job, will be acknowledging that they are glad to see so many not get care they need -- all so the already filthy rich can get richer and richer.
