Seven Russian Hackers Charged With Hacking Anti-Doping Organizations (theverge.com)

Seven Russian intelligence officers have been indicted by the Justice Department for computing hacking, wire fraud, money laundering, and identity theft -- all as part of an effort to distract from Russia's state-sponsored doping program. The defendants reportedly stole and disseminated the personal information of several prominent anti-doping officials and 250 athletes following the 2014 Sochi Olympics. The Verge reports: The indictment names all seven of the accused as members of the Russian Federation intelligence agency (or GRU) housed within the intelligence directorate of the Russian military. Three of the defendants were also charged as part of the Mueller investigation regarding hacking the Democratic National Convention in an attempt to compromise U.S. election infrastructure in 2016. The Justice Department claimed in its indictment that the GRU officials were working to undermine the advocacy of anti-doping organizations, officials, and athletes following the exposure of a Russian state-sponsored doping campaign in 2015. Login credentials were stolen through classic phishing techniques, which, in some cases, gave the hackers access to the medical profiles of some athletes. This information was then disseminated over social media by the hackers who disguised themselves as a hacktivist group called the Fancy Bears' Hack Team.

In the case of four-time Olympic gold medalist runner Mo Farah, the Fancy Bears' Hack Team had gained access to his "biological passport." This set of information tracks the blood data of athletes in order to monitor the potentiality of doping. The group then posted the contents of Farah's profile over social media, pointing to results that claimed he was "likely doping." By use of this method, the hackers were able to subvert media attention away from Russia's doping accusations and point the finger at other countries as well. The indictment claims that the hackers spoke to 186 different reporters in order to "amplify the exposure" of their message.

Re:In B4 Vlad

Nope just blatant stupidity and politicisation of stupidity. Just how the fuck do they ever expect to arrest those persons by publicly announcing they want to arrest those persons when they are in a country from which extradition is impossible ie you fucking moron, that is exactly what secret warrants are for and surprise phone call telling you, you have won a trip to Disneyland on fly naked with a bag on your head airlines (I have been told I won a free trip to Disneyland, I informed them I was on the do not call register and told them I had no intention of being an accessory to breaking that law and refused the trip, really odd that it was an actual annoyed American who made that call).

The proof that it is political bullshit is the public announcement to ensure it never ever goes to court. In the world of United States of Bullshit, they way to catch spies, is too publicly announce that you want to catch them when they are in the home country. How stupid would you have to be to buy into this silly bullshit. For the apparently wildly inept and incompetent CIA/FBI, to catch spy, first rule, never publicly announce and identify the spy you want to catch. Rule number 2 try to trick them to go to a country where you have extradition and then extradite them and you get to prove your case in court and they serve a custodial sentence.

This is not about arresting anyone, this is actually about convincing stupid governments to hand over the digital security of their country to NATO (North American Territorial Occupation farce) and the US government. This is part of the big con to hand over power to the US government, it is for your benefit.

I mean they can find the method used, they can find the IP of a zombie used for the attack, if they can put their hands on the zombie they could find the IP of the one controlling the zombie, but finding the names of the officers who worked on that mission? Sorry, I don't believe that for a second. It's all bullshit.

Blame Trump, for what, just another empty talking head, this is the deep state and shadow government, PR driven by profound arrogance, they simply pay no attention to anything beyond their own ego and bullshit, it is a silly as fuck and just makes them look really bad to the rest of the world. This kind of silly shit you would expect from ignorant political appointees who got their lead government agency job, because they were effective in a political campaigning, they can be relied upon to shamelessly lie and they will keep secret the corruption they are involved it, how good or bad they are at the job itself, entirely arbitrary as a lobbyist paid for by a corporation will actually be running that government department from behind the scenes, to favour the corporation that pays the lobbyists and fuck the rest of the country.

Mate, the Russian government won't extradite them and they won't leave Russia, everyone knows they're not going to be arrested as Putin will protect them. This is about the "next best" way to deal with the situation, by humiliating the Russian security services and showing how incompetent and dangerous they are. It also seems to be led mainly by the British and Dutch at the moment (with Trump grudgingly tagging along, I'd imagine he'd rather not be involved at all). I'm guessing your preferred solution is that no-one says anything else about it (to avoid the suspects realising they would be arrested? I think they might know that already...), the accused stay in Russia and this all goes away quietly. Sounds like a great plan, nice one.

I'm not saying the Russian government doesn't have spies, I'm saying the Russian government does not have a monopoly on hackers. Right now, the same way everyone having a "dissenting" opinion is called a Russian bot, every time a kid is hacking something, he is called a GRU officer. This is absolutely ridiculous and people who believe this are incredibly gullible.

BTW, do you remember when it was revealed the NSA was tapping 125 phones of German officials, including Angela Merkel phone? Don't you think the US government hacking and spying pretty much the whole German government for 20 years is a bit more serious than some Russian spies casing a building in the Netherlands?

Re:In B4 Vlad

[superwiz]

I agree that this line of "refutation" is overused. And it's been added to the toolbox of anyone without a real argument. But given that Dutch authorities caught some actual physical people casing a building, this creates a credible reason to name them.

I don't think it's relevant to this case. You said it wasn't credible that those individuals' names were known. And I would agree with that had some of them not been physically apprehended. They were though. This case stands on its own for this reason alone.

Re:In B4 Vlad

[William Baric]

The subject is the mass hysteria against Russia in the US, which is the result of some people voluntarily trying to present any information out of context for political objectives. The goal of this "fake news" (information out of context is "fake news") is to demonize Russia (or Iran) in order to instill fear so people stop asking questions, or to associate political adversaries to this new boogeyman to easily destroy their reputation.

Mentioning that the US government, like all governments, uses all its power to regularly hack and spy on foreign governments, foreign agencies and even foreign businesses to help American businesses get lucrative contracts is relevant because it puts context back. The hope is to make people realize that this anti-Russia hysteria is ridiculous and only the result of manipulation.

Novichuk scandal?

[Latent Heat]

ABC news breathlessly reported this spy ring has conducting a cyber attack on the Dutch lab to cover up the use of a nerve agent against a Russian defector and his daughter in England?

So is this about the attempted assassination on English soil with a WMD, or is this about some lame concerns about sports cheating? Which is it?

Re:Novichuk scandal?

[Aighearach]

OK, what happened is that earlier this year, two of these guys were busted in the Netherlands. And their laptop was seized. And they were kicked out of the country. And the contents of the laptop showed evidence of on-site operations in at least 4 countries, and included attacks on both the sports doping agency and also a chemical weapons investigation group.

Netherlands and Sweden have publicly done a bunch to thwart and expose this group. They can do that, because they have less to hide in the areas of methods and procedures than the US. But what the US does have is a Department of Justice with close ties around the world, that can indict these guys and prevent them from traveling to many potential attack sites.

Something like that, don't trust me for the details, but go find some good reporting if you're interested. There is a lot to the story. One of the guys registered his home address in Russia as a GRU office (!! LOL) and his car was registered to the same office for a number of years.

Re:Novichuk scandal?

[Anonymous Coward]

So is this about the attempted assassination on English soil with a WMD, or is this about some lame concerns about sports cheating? Which is it?

This is mainly about sports doping from 2014 onwards and charges were brought (by the US DoJ) today. The arrests in The Hague (by Dutch authorities) happened "just weeks after the Salisbury Novichok attack" and have come to light today. GRU is involved in both, but they are separate issues.

Re:Novichuk scandal?

[hankwang]

Those Russian spies were busted in the Netherlands while they were using a directional wifi antenna e in a car parked next to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons building in April, a month after Skripal was murdered with - likely - Russian nerve gas. Apparently, a lot of talking between Russia and Netherlands happened behind the scenes. It's only because the US was going to go public yesterday that the Dutch authorities decided to disclose what happened in April. Otherwise we would never have heard of this.

Re:Novichuk scandal?

[drewlake2000]

So is this something that happens all the time, and they luckily got them this time? Or are they the Russian "Spies Like US?" Judging by the press conference of the two spies who failed to kill Skripal, the latter appears to be more probable.

Re:Novichuk scandal?

[hankwang]

Correction: *attempted * murder of Skripal. It was someone else who died of the nerve agent.

Re:Novichuk scandal?

[hankwang]

I believe that generally neither the failed nor the successful attempts/counter actions are made public. We only occasionally hear about terrorist attacks that were prevented by the Dutch secret service and hardly ever about actual affairs with diplomatic consequences.

Re:Military intelligence service and sport?

[Frank Burly]

I know you're just jaq-ing off, but I'll do no research and give you two cents I found in my armchair.

Military intelligence service is now so free for time it has ability to get into the pastime of sport? Who would use military intelligence service for international spy networks for sport?

I think the security of the Russian government depends on a public that feels that they are members of a great nation that is unfairly targeted by the Western powers. The exposure of Russia's athlete doping is a wound against national prestige, so discrediting the responsible party shows that 1) Russia is unfairly targeted by Western powers and 2) Russia really is a great nation at sports (the Olympics, World Cup, etc.)

When a nations spies it uses its best spies with the best change of never getting detected.

Why task a military intelligence service for a role they are not experts in?

Nations can't always use their best spies--half will always be below average, and crap like this is a low-stakes opportunity to make them better. Trump is in the Whitehouse, Putin is in Ukraine, and some poisoned are people in England: getting caught hacking a sports agency will have little real consequence, but could have paid reasonable dividends domestically.

The West is fixated on the GRU for some reason. Its not the intelligence service that would be used internationally for "sport". They have NATO tanks to count and advanced drones to watch for.

I think public budgets and secret satellites keep Russia appraised of NATO tanks. My impression is that spycraft is a use-it or lose-it skill. Russia is using it.

Re:Military intelligence service and sport?

This has been known for a very long time.

ASSASSINS' SQUADS LINKED TO MOSCOW - MARCH 25, 1984

. . . if Mr. Suvorov's facts are correct, some of these potential attackers have already been visiting target areas at the West's invitation, since they are among the most accomplished athletes in the Soviet Union. . . .

In a war, Mr. Suvorov writes, the Russians would have 41 Special Forces companies, one with each army, and 16 brigades attached to each front, or army group. There also would be four naval brigades, he says, one with each Soviet fleet, and 20 intelligence units. . . .

Because its wartime duties and peacetime training are so rigorous, Mr. Suvorov says, the organization attracts athletes. In return, the athletes receive special privileges.

Consequently, the defector adds, there is competition between the G.R.U. and the K.G.B. for athletes.

Re:Military intelligence service and sport?

[MightyMartian]

Russia's chief problem these days is that, despite all the outward pretensions of being the Great Bear of the Czarist and Russian eras, much of its power is inherited from its own past. Syria is just about as distant a military campaign as it can hope to involve itself in. NATO may not be as big as it wants to be in Eastern Europe, but it has encroached into a number of Warsaw Pact states. Sure Ukraine has been split apart, but even there, the fact that a large portion of that nation remains outside Moscow's ability to control demonstrates just how far Russia has fallen in the last quarter century. Yes, it still has nukes, and it is largely because of those nukes that it has the international prestige it has, but the damage wreaked upon its economy even by the partial sanctions shows its vulnerability. Cyberwarfare is a potent weapon, as are the older mundane methods of terrorizing defectors, and it has shown some ability at sowing divisions among its rivals, but this is a nation that has fallen far.

Athletes were useful to the dictators insofar as they showed the Glory of the Dictator's Dictatorship. So while decrying the evils of capitalism, up to and including banning professional athletes, they put their athletes on the government paycheck and then rewarded those who did well with upgraded living for their families and getting to keep goodies they brought back from the west like blue jeans and boom box radios.

Now look at the little girls in skating or gymnastics, among the most high profile of Olympic sports, and imagine ladling a better life for your family on them as motivation. And the coaches and others in the (government only) sports organizations.

Re:Military intelligence service and sport?

Yep. International sport has been an instrument of national prestige and diplomacy for over fifty years now.

Russia is ninth in the world in population with 144 million people; that puts it between Bengladesh and Mexico. It's twelfth in the world by GDP, between South Korea and Spain. But it once was the core of a powerful empire that counted nearly half the world in its sphere of influence. The loss of that influence stings, and Russia is very interested in raising its international prestige, either by positive means like sport or negative means like ratfucking other countries' political systems. That's why they've been involved in state sponsored athlete doping.

2. publish your shit properly
3. don't get your keys stolen

Suddenly? Less than 12 hours since I last posted on this thread.

Another weak attempt by APK to deflect. Because APK can't stop lying

1. Not signing your software is not more secure than signing it. (obviously) APK doesn't "get" it, because he's fucking mental.
2. C++ is inherently as robust against buffer overflows as Pascal bullshit. IF YOU USE THE RIGHT DATATYPES, as is ISO C++ spec. Counted strings are not unique to Pascal. But they are not also some magic bullet either. In C++ we also have ropes, which are vastly superior to counted strings because they allow for insertions and substring data-types, unlike counted string. APK needs to open a book instead of his mouth
