Dutch Intelligence Agents Watched Russia Hack the DNC (volkskrant.nl)
Long-time Slashdot readers Agilulf, Sara Chan, and wiredmikey -- plus an anonymous reader -- all submitted the same story. Agilulf writes:
Dutch hackers from AIVD (their intelligence agency) infiltrated Russian hackers, had access to their CCTV system, and followed them for more than a year, watched their attack on the DNC, provided the proof to the U.S. intelligence community that Russia was behind those hacks and the stolen emails, and were disappointed with the response from the U.S.
The Dutch agents also watched Russian agents breach a non-classified network at the U.S. State Department in 2014, where the Russians then sent a phishing email to the White House, successfully stole login credentials, and then accessed email from embassies and diplomats.
"Three American intelligence services state with 'high confidence' that the Kremlin was behind the attack on the Democratic Party," according to the article, which adds that that certainty "is derived from the AIVD hackers having had access to the office-like space in the center of Moscow for years."

The only thing more ridiculous than the concocted and phony Russia narrative... ...is believing the Dutch have an intelligence operation sophisticated enough to hack the Russian intelligence operation.
1 : The DNC leak was done by Seth Rich and Hillary had him killed for it.
2 : WHO THE FUCK CARES where the leak came from, the content is what is important.
Re-instate Hillary Clinton as President, now !
That's not how impeachment works. The vote was still real.
Oh, for god's sake, stop preaching to us of Trump the sainted leader who won the election by a landslide. Nobody here is stupid enough to believe that winning the electoral college is an accurate reflection of what the American people wanted and nobody except his supporters care what the Electoral College spat out. The fact that Trump lost the popular vote is what accurately reflects what the American people wanted. The result we got, a complete blithering egotistical imbecile in the White House that even his sycophantic supporters struggle to defend, was due to an obsolete system designed to manipulate and twist the popular vote result out of shape. This obsolete machinery has hitherto been packaged as a 'sacred tradition of the Republic' and sold to us with flag waiving to the tune of patriotic music but people aren't buying it any more. As for impeachment, there has not been a president for a very long time that was more vulnerable to impeachment even before he took office than Trump is. Trump is has so much dirt and skullduggery in his past that impeaching him should be pretty easy if the ruling Republican elite in Washington actually wanted to. Nailing Trump for building that tower in Azerbaijan with a business partner that laundered money for the Iranian Revolutionary guard should be enough to get him investigated under the foreign corrupt practices act. The same goes for the shenanigans surrounding his towers in New York, Panama and probably every other such project he has ever built. Steve Bannon is right, if Trump is taken down it will be by the easiest route which is money laundering and other money related crime and corruption charges but only if that rotten husk and insult to the memory of Abraham Lincoln that calls itself the Republican party wants to and so far it doesn't.
