U.S. authorities identify six "Russian" officials in DNC hack: WSJ

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has gathered enough evidence to charge six members of the "Russian" government in the hacking of Democratic National Committee computers before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the investigation.

Federal agents and prosecutors in Washington, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Francisco have been cooperating on the DNC investigation and prosecutors could bring the case to court next year, it said.

By identifying individual Russian military and intelligence hackers with charges, U.S. authorities could make it difficult for them to travel,...

The hacking investigation, conducted by cybersecurity experts, predates the appointment in May of federal special counsel Robert Mueller to oversee the probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion with President Donald Trump’s campaign."

"It would be the second time the United States charged Russians with cyber crimes. In March, the Justice Department charged two Russian intelligence agents and two hackers with masterminding the 2014 theft of 500 million Yahoo accounts. "

And Trump begged them to do it. "Russia, I hope you find the emails," is going to be the Trump's, "I'm not a crook."

And now we know when Trump made that very public invitation to the Russians to interfere in our election that he knew damn well that Russia already had the very emails he was pretending to ask for.

That invitation was merely window dressing in an elaborate ruse to fool the American people.

Russia hackers had targets worldwide, beyond US election

WASHINGTON (AP) — The hackers who disrupted the U.S. presidential election had ambitions well beyond Hillary Clinton’s campaign, targeting the emails of Ukrainian officers, Russian opposition figures, U.S. defense contractors and thousands of others of interest to the Kremlin, according to a previously unpublished digital hit list obtained by The Associated Press. The list provides the most detailed forensic evidence yet of the close alignment between the hackers and the Russian government, exposing an operation that stretched back years and tried to break into the inboxes of 4,700 Gmail users across the globe — from the pope’s representative in Kiev to the punk band ***** Riot in Moscow. “It’s a wish list of who you’d want to target to further Russian interests,” said Keir Giles, director of the Conflict Studies Research Center in Cambridge, England, and one of five outside experts who reviewed the AP’s findings. He said the data was “a master list of individuals whom Russia would like to spy on, embarrass, discredit or silence.” The AP findings draw on a database of 19,000 malicious links collected by cybersecurity firm Secureworks, dozens of rogue emails, and interviews with more than 100 hacking targets.

Secureworks stumbled upon the data after a hacking group known as Fancy Bear accidentally exposed part of its phishing operation to the internet. The list revealed a direct line between the hackers and the leaks that rocked the presidential contest in its final stages, most notably the private emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. “This is the Kremlin and the general staff,” said Andras Racz, a specialist in Russian security policy at Pazmany Peter Catholic University in Hungary, as he examined the data. “I have no doubts.” In the United States, which was Russia’s Cold War rival, Fancy Bear tried to pry open at least 573 inboxes belonging to those in the top echelons of the country’s diplomatic and security services: then-Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, then-NATO Supreme Commander, U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, and one of his predecessors, U.S. Army Gen. Wesley Clark. The list skewed toward workers for defense contractors such as Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin or senior intelligence figures, prominent Russia watchers and — especially — Democrats. More than 130 party workers, campaign staffers and supporters of the party were targeted. The AP also found a handful of Republican targets.

But when we got hacked by the Chicoms, none of you were too worried abour it.

If the president at the time hadn't been an idiot, it wouldn't have happened.

The hack had already happened.

So when the Chinese hacked us ... it was Obama's fault?

Probably because he had to juggle being president and personally running IT security.

And how did he know Russia had the emails? He asked them, even while publicly denying that as well as publicly placing blame on anybody else but them including some fat kid in his mom's basement. He sought them out badly.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS: U.S. authorities identify six "Russian" officials in DNC hack: WSJ

It seems to me that the pro-ColdWar Lobby want to push the Russians to the point where they fight back, so that the same Lobby can then proclaim "look, those evil Russians are fighting with us!"

I think it's glaringly obvious that if you push somebody far enough, they'll fight back against you.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS: U.S. authorities identify six "Russian" officials in DNC hack: WSJ

Doesn't even matter at this point. Those that have followed the evidence knew what the deal was 6 months ago. Those that reject evidence will continue to do so. The only thing that matters is forcibly removing Trump from office.

On the contrary, what matters is to prevent the warmongering Left from seizing control of the country in the name of "stopping evil Trump"
It is they who must be resisted by all means necessary. If you want to use force against me, I'm more than glad to use force against you. We'll see how tough you talk then.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS: U.S. authorities identify six "Russian" officials in DNC hack: WSJ

The hack had already happened.

And Trump knew about them and was already busy paying back the Russians for the favor and he still is....

"The delay calls into question the Trump administration's commitment to the sanctions bill which was signed into law more than two months ago, following months of public debate and negotiations in Congress," the senators said in a joint statement on Wednesday. "They've had plenty of time to get their act together."

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump has called the sanctions legislation, which also targets Iran and North Korea, "seriously flawed." He said shortly after signing the bill that it "improperly encroaches on executive power, disadvantages American companies, and hurts the interests of our European allies." He tweeted later that Congress was to blame for the US's relationship with Russia being at an "all-time & very dangerous low."

Trump stalls on Russia sanctions, McCain and Cardin say - Business Insider
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS: U.S. authorities identify six "Russian" officials in DNC hack: WSJ

The McCarthyist warmongers are demanding the Trump and anyone else meet their test of loyalty to the country by imposing sanctions.

John McCarthyCain already has one foot in the grave, and never would have won reelection without Trump carrying him over the top. He owes his entire seat to Trump, and didn't win it himself, that's for sure. There should be a recall vote in his district - because he'd never win it, even as a dying man.

Sorry, the right had it's chance. You decided to elect Satan with yellow hair and cannot accomplish anything with all 3 branches of government. Your president is likely a criminal or at the very least should be impeached.

I will talk tough while I piss on your face if I so desire. By 2018 the left will have taken back much power and I doubt Cheeto Benito will still be Tweeting from the executive chair.

He didn't say they did.

It was a comment made in jest and you know it. You people are embarrassing yourselves by claiming it's evidence of anything.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS: U.S. authorities identify six "Russian" officials in DNC hack: WSJ

Everybody knew about the hacks, at that point.

Trump knew about Russia's hacking in April 2016 and yet still denies it to this day while coddling Putin in return. What a low life.

Do you have proof that he didn't know? How can I trust a liar when he says he didn't know anything going on with all the secret meetings with Russians.
HE KNEW!

Who was the president at the time? Or, are only the the presidents you hate the ones who you demand responsibility from?

It was a bald-faced lie he made in "jest" at least YOU could be honest once in a while. Trump knew all along it was the Russians that were the hackers. He was offered the hacked DNC emails from the Russians in April 2016 and the campaign jumped at the chance. Trump even changed the GOP platform to suit Putin. Now we know why for sure.
