Russian Hackers Allegedly Attempted To Breach the DNC After the 2018 Midterms (fortune.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Fortune: Russian hackers attempted to breach Democratic National Committee email addresses in a spear-phishing campaign just after the 2018 midterms, according to a DNC court document filed Thursday night. "The content of these emails and their timestamps were consistent with a spear-phishing campaign that leading cybersecurity experts have tied to Russian intelligence," reads the complaint. "Therefore, it is probable that Russian intelligence again attempted to unlawfully infiltrate DNC computers in November 2018." The complaint [...] said there is no evidence that the attempted hack in Nov. 2018 was successful.
Spear-phishing campaigns involve sending emails that appear to be from a trusted source in order to gain confidential information. According to CNN, the emails in question appeared to have been sent from a State Department official and contained a PDF attachment that, if opened, would allow the hacker access to the recipient's computer. The timing and content of these emails were consistent with the practices of the Russian hacking group known as Cozy Bear, one of the two groups that hacked the DNC prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. According to the cybersecurity firm FireEye, Cozy Bear attempted to hack over 20 entities in Nov. 2018, including clients in local government, transportation, defense, law enforcement, and military.

What's surprising is that Republicans willfully support blatant treason and hacking groups because they truly consider them less adversarial to their perverse nazi authoritarian ideology than the rest of America. Rope is coming, traitors.
Trump will hang for his crimes. You decide if you should hang next to that coward. This is apolitical, you support attacks on the US political process or either party, you are a traitor and should hang. Period.
You know he is a wiz at computers.
orange man good
Dude, you seem to be the only person who hasn't figured out the 'orange man bad' innuendo is a mass stream of bullshit.
Still going for this BS? Is this the "if we make enough smoke, people will eventually believe there's fire" strategy?
Its bullshit according to the anonymous coward. KK. Or maybe you are KKK?
/shrug
Just because you wish it wasn't true, doesn't make it untrue, just like your idiotic argument.
Facts probablly your brain I guess.
Maybe trump will go on national TV again and ask the Russians for them a second time. After all, it got the job done within a week of asking the first time.
Throw up a $5/mo VPS n the Internet and SCAWY WUSSIANS will attempt to hack it within ten minutes of eth0 coming up.
Bonus: You'll also get CHINESE COMMUNISTS, as well as various Eastern Europeans, Southern Americans and half the Amazon cloud trying to pwn your shit, too.
We're coming up on three years since the "hack" supposedly happened. The DNC has produced absolutely no evidence it actually happened. WikiLeaks has come out and flat-out said they didn't receive the email dump from Russia or any state. There's a lot of circumstantial evidence it was an inside job: if you look at timestamps created when files were copied off the system, you'll see that they show evidence that someone copied the files off the server using a USB thumbstick.
Face it, just because the "blue wave" failed to materialize and Trump remains extremely popular despite the Democrat Shutdown, doesn't mean that Russia was involved in the election. There is no evidence that they were. All actual facts point to Hillary being a record unpopular candidate who Americans resoundingly rejected. Accept that Democrats just aren't that popular, and that real Americans side with Trump.
Given than half the current members of Congress would happily give any communist anything they wanted, seems like rather a waste of good hacking talent to try and come in through the front door.
Apparently they wanted the other half as well.
Also, technically the Russians are not communists any more, but it seems a lot of people have been living under rocks these 20-odd years.
The Russians and the Chinese try to hack EVERYONE. All the major corporations, no matter what they produce. All the politicians, no matter what their party. All the banks, all the universities, all the tech firms - all of it.
Trying to play off standard, everyday behaviors as special and indicative of something deeper, as is done here. turns normal news into storytime fiction.
Actually fucktard, in September of '15 the FBI contacted the DNC telling them at least 1 computer had been compromised. Evidence in any FBI investigation is not, nor ever has been publicly released, so, no - YOU will never see it. The FBI's information was substantiated by FireEye, a company that makes security firewalls.
But then again, you're likely one of those "deep state" paranoids who has no time to be bothered with facts.
No Seriously! We know exactly where these hacks are coming from. A few well placed cruise missiles with conventional weapons should do the trick.
I only hear claims. How can they be sure it did not come from somewhere else? It's trivial to reroute though other computers in the same country or other countries. I can not see how the US can be aware of every single connection going in and out of every country...(probabilistic matching incoming and outgoing streams to determine proxies). Russia and China along with other not quite US friendly countries in that region have direct connections. But supposing they did there are ways to disguise the data to make them sufficiently unmatchable. Further nowadays these things are done via script and fully automated. There are reasons for countries to make it seems like data is coming from one another.
Russia and China are full of technologically sophisticated people fully capable of hacking with their own agendas.
It was a US domestic political event with a human walking out with data to give to the media.
A Pentagon paper event totally internal to the USA and US politics.
Random spear-phishing attempts did not move data out as it was done by a person in person.
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
Sure, I'm just paranoid.
We have text messages of FBI agents saying they wanted to throw the election for Hillary, we have the head of the FBI lying about Hillary's crimes to try and convince the country to vote for her, but claiming the existence of some sort of "deep state" is just paranoia. Just ignore all that evidence of its existence. Right.
And not very "targeted", either. You should see all the phishing "attacks" I am inundated with daily. hahaha.
as to your "blue wave" comment, just looking at the numbers..
Dems took 40 House seats away from the GOP. On the State level, the Dems took 7 Governors away from the GOP, 6 legislatures and over 300 State House and Senate seats. So if you're calling the GOP flipping 3 Senate seats a "win", you're delusional. 350+ (Blue Flipped) Vs 3 (Red Flipped) is a MASSIVE blue wave by any measurement. Sorry Sparky, go back and sniff more FauxNoise coolaid.
The president's party always loses seats in the midterms. It was true for Obama as well. The "blue wave" was expected to be overwhelming, and it ... just didn't happen. We got a relatively normal midterm. Attempts to hype it up as something earthshattering are just false - turnout was slightly higher than expected, but still lower than presidential election years. You saw about an average swing. Sorry, the "blue wave" was just a normal blue trickle, and it'll almost certainly be entirely reversed in 2020, especially if Trump can remind voters of the record shutdown the Democrats caused the instant they had even a whiff of power.
If you haven't been living under a rock since Putin took power you would see that he desires authoritarian control and wishes to take back what was once the USSR. While we don't know if his ultimate goal is communism his position in the party earlier in his life could make for an easy logical estimate.
denial is a river in Africa.....
What the fuck are you talking about? The Republicans controlled the house when the shutdown started, dipshit. They had control of the house for two years, and for those two years, the wall didn't seem that important.
Perhaps they should've focused on building the wall instead giving the super rich a tax cut.
I think at this point, anyone who doesn't take an overall look at Russian operations all over the world, and the general ambitions of Vladimir Putin, who doesn't see that this is all a form of guerrilla warfare isn't paying close enough attention, is in denial, or is one of their extraterritorial operatives whitewashing the whole thing. What we're seeing are just the early stages of the overall agenda and gameplan.
Yes. I already knew this because I don't have my head shoved up my own butthole like whoever thought this was brilliant and breaking news.

Who's the fucktard? With no time to be bothered by facts?
Why the hell should the FBI be believed?
That's a serious question.
This is the same biased FBI that knowingly ignored the fact that the Steele dossier was totally unverified and paid for by Hillary, and used it as the basis to spy on Trump anyway.
Or are you going to claim that Bruce Ohr lied under oath when he testified to all of that? (Got the balls to try and find that and actually learn some facts the media doesn't want to report, or do you need me to give you a LMGTFY link?)
And if doing THAT - using the government intelligence services to spy on a political opponent - doesn't cause you to cry at the coming death of democracy in the US, you're just a blind partisan hack. And have nothing to cry about should Trump turn the tables when he gets an Attorney General who knows how to actually run the Department of Justice (and that's just a few days or weeks away...).
As much as you would wish it to be not true, doesnâ(TM)t make it false, there is a strong connection:

Good, maybe someone in the FSB will be able to figure out the Dems political strategy, 'cause I sure can't.
Why isn't she in Jail?
Trump needs to build 2 walls!
Which is why the spending bill had passed the House before the shutdown started. Where it failed was the Senate, where Democrats used the filibuster to block it until the new session of Congress happened and they could use their new power in the House to keep the government closed.
Like I said, they got a hint of power and immediately used it to shut down the government, even before they were seated.
Hey everybody, the "faggot" guy is back! I've really come to enjoy the way you garnish every post with sprinklings of that fantastic word.
Don't be a stranger now, you hear? Don't go doing anything stupid like getting a job or finding something more worthwhile to do. You just spend all day hanging out here spreading your glorious word. The world needs more people like you who are so amazing at getting people to see things from your wonderful, enlightened perspective. Don't believe what those weirdos are saying. You're not a complete waste of space at all my man!
It means they found one or more victims and probably already installed their malware. They wait until after the election to pick up the permanent staff who will stick around instead of the temps whose accounts will disappear. Later on they will walk someone out of the building.
> Its bullshit according to the anonymous coward. KK. Or maybe you are KKK?
It's odd how you randomly dehumanize a stranger by associating them with an institution created by the Democrats in a case like this, no?
> Just because you wish it wasn't true, doesn't make it untrue, just like your idiotic argument.
Normally the person making the claims presents evidence. You gave lots of insults and no facts, instead of making a stronger post where you actually present facts that we can look at and explain why they're meaningful. Meanwhile, as the party who isn't making any claims, I just have to point out that you haven't actually presented anything whatsoever to refute you. I bet you think that's unfair, too. I'd compare this to Russel's teapot at this point, but you probably don't know what that is. You can google it if you want, though.
> Facts probablly your brain I guess.
You left out some words there. Liberalism really is a mental disorder, I guess. Hmmm, no wonder you're trying to reclassify them all the time so that people don't figure this out....
Khazar Talmudic Jews believe this of all they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Peron, Spanish inquistion, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above.

You really should ask David Brock for a raise. You've been such an exceptional provocateur!
Don't you know? The DNC has its own troll factories, its own versions of the Internet Research Agency. Rest assured, our resident provocateur is gainfully employed.
I'm not the same poster and not a Deep State believer, but keep in mind people like you made the same sorts of disparaging comments about alleged NSA spying activities. And in the end, the "nutjobs" actually underestimated what they had been up to.... and despite the Snowden leaks it has continued especially since the general public got bored of the idea.
Anything at this point.
Have you looked at the evidence of Russia hacking the DNC in 2016? Its actually comical. The DNC REFUSED to let the FBI look at their servers and gave it to a company named Crowdstrike, a company that Clinton had hired to do other things for her. To this day they are the ONLY security people to have seen the DNC servers and they claimed there was evidence Russia hacked them.
Since that time, they got caught lying about some Ukrainian servers claiming those were hacked by Russians. Yep, got caught lying about it.
When it looked like they were going to testify before Congress about the DNC servers, they RETRACTED their Russian statements. Yep, the ONLY people on the planet with evidence of Russia hacking the DNC servers were unwilling to state so under oath. To this day they now say Russia did not hack the DNC servers.
So now you have no evidence (Servers have been destroyed) and the only people who saw the evidence are unwilling to say under oath that Russia hacked the DNC servers. So no evidence, no witnesses, no experts.
When charged with hacked by Muller, Putin offered to hand over his people that did it when he was shown the evidence to prove it. Muller declined and to this day Muller will not let anyone outside his "special council" see that evidence.
Remember, of Muller's team of 19 people, 9 are known to have committed crimes while working on Muller's team (some fired for it), and this week we learned 4 of them know the entire thing was started with falsified evidence. So 13 of the 19 working for Muller have been proven corrupt, not a good sign.
So, yes, at this point I would like to see SOME evidence. Until then I am making the statement "Russia DID NOT hack DNC servers." Prove me wrong or shut the fuck up.
The problem with lying, and getting caught, is it tends to wreak havoc on your credibility.
After the BS they pulled with Bernie / Hillary, they are naive ( or arrogant ) to believe that anyone will ever put any faith
into any story they wish to tell. The doubt will be there again in 2020 when they nominate their next candidate and you
can be sure Team Red* is going to make sure everyone and their brother remembers it.
*Not that Team Red is the poster child of truthfulness, mind you, but they will surely throw some fuel on that fire.
At what point will the people decide that the only way forward is to remove the cancer that is our entrenched elected leadership
and start from scratch ? It seems the only ones who have been getting screwed over for the past several decades are us . . . . .
It's a shame the US doesn't have the " No Confidence " rule to remove an incompetent / incapable government.
“According to CNN, the emails in question appeared to have been sent from a State Department official and contained a PDF attachment that, if opened, would allow the hacker access to the recipient's computer.”
Really, it's for such insightful technical analysis that keeps me coming back here. Would this PDF attachment run a script that hacked a Microsoft Windows computer? The rest of the story is merely the usual neocon waffle, part of the strategy to provoke the next cold war with Russia.
Tell it to Mueller, tell it to the Warden, tell it to Satan when you see them, in that order. Trump is getting buried under the prison, traitor. Deal with it snowflake.
Former NSA experts say it wasn’t a hack at all, but a leak — an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system.
‘ To this day, however, the intelligence agencies that released this assessment have failed to provide the American people with any actual evidence substantiating their claims about how the DNC material was obtained or by whom. Astonishingly and often overlooked, the authors of the declassified ICA themselves admit that their “judgments are not intended to imply that we have proof that shows something to be a fact.” ’
I'm not sure who I'm more disgusted with, the anonymous pansy who shared this nonsense or SlashDot for keeping the Russophobia ball going to the detriment of U.S. credibility. I'll tell you this though, I wish Microsoft and Amazon's attempts at penetrating my network were as infrequently as those of the Russians. My log files tell me who my enemies are and Russia is NOT one of them.
The president's party always loses seats in the midterms. It was true for Obama as well. The "blue wave" was expected to be overwhelming, and it ... just didn't happen. We got a relatively normal midterm. Attempts to hype it up as something earthshattering are just false - turnout was slightly higher than expected, but still lower than presidential election years. You saw about an average swing. Sorry, the "blue wave" was just a normal blue trickle, and it'll almost certainly be entirely reversed in 2020, especially if Trump can remind voters of the record shutdown the Democrats caused the instant they had even a whiff of power.
Democrats won the generic ballot by 8.6%, compared to the "red wave" of 2010 where the GOP only won by 6.8%.
The reason the GOP had a 59 seat advantage with +6.8% of the vote while Democrats only had a 36 seat advantage with +8.6% is the GOP gerrymandered the hell out of the US in 2012, which is actually a pretty idiotic thing to do.
The point of winning is to enact your polities, and unless your policies include widespread civil unrest then undercutting the legitimacy of the government is not the thing you want to do.
I stole this Sig
Every major power country try to hack other countries during elections. I'm sure even we do it.
Amazing how much more secure the firewall is when you stop using the default administrator password.
House was expected, happens every time. Senate, on the other hand, was critical, given that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is about to kick the bucket. Only the Senate is needed to confirm her replacement.
The US? Credibility? LMAO, that disappeared when they elected Trump, now just an international laughing stock, an overrated 3rd world shithole.
What bullshit! Stop getting news from fake sources. Nothing that uou said is remotely true.
LOL
Trumpanzees are fucktarded.
It was supported by both houses last December overwhelmingly, by both parties. Trump got scared of Ann Coulter and decided not to sign it and McConnell drop on his knees and sucked off Trumps microdick.
The Democrat controlled house passed those bills again this month and Turtle refuses to bring it up in the Senate even though a veto-proof majority will vote for it.
Trump said it was his shutdown and was proud to take credit and McConnell is keeping it going. Those are the only two people standing in the way of government reopening.
numbnuts
You outed yourself. This is from 2018, not 2016. Oops...
Just keep it closed permanently..
There is too much bulls**t from both the republicans and democrats..
Yes, look at the numbers and compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Your "blue wall" theory is as garbage in 2018 as it was in 2016. Trump actually outperformed Presidents Obama and Clinton with respect to first midterm losses.
In 2018, Trump's first midterm election, the Republicans lost 42 seats.
In 2010, Obama's first midterm election, the Democrats lost 63 seats.
In 1994, Clintons's first midterm election, the Democrats lost 54 seats.
The fantasy of a "blue wall" is of great help to Trump. Is there some reason you perpetuate this myth?
It's interesting to see that when leftists go homophobic it's all fine.. But if any rightwing forgets to use the preferred pronoun for someone then that person is called a nazi or facist...
I don't know what kind of security the DNC is using now. But it's security in 2016 appeared to be abysmally bad. At one point, two or three of Bernie Sanders' aides were able to get through a firewall which apparently let them to be able to access rival candidate Hillary Clinton's polling data. The Sanders campaign had previously complained to the DNC about security concerns with the DNC's servers, and Bernie Sanders himself fired these aides after the attack. But it was shocking how lax the DNC was on security.
What is beyond belief was how bad Hillary Clinton's campaign also was on security. Russians allegedly hacked Clinton campaign manager John Podesta's Gmail account in 2016. This happened after a Clinton aide responded to a phishing email giving the hackers Podesta's Gmail account login password.
But even back in 2016, I was using two-factor authentication on my Gmail account and John Podesta was not! I am not famous and don't have emails that people would want. So why the hell was John Podesta using a Gmail account which was not secured with two-factor authentication? The bad tech practices of these people is unbelievably bad. Their bad judgment is what in part allowed Donald Trump to win.
Trump said it was his shutdown and was proud to take credit and McConnell is keeping it going. Those are the only two people standing in the way of government reopening.
Totally false. Budget bills have to start in the House. The House has yet to pass a single bill reopening the government. Instead, Pelosi was going to waste tax payer money going on some bogus foreign trip without doing her job first.
Trump and McConnell are ready to open the government immediately, but they quite literally can't do it until Pelosi does her damned job.
Worst part is you sound like a carbon copy of this moron, just mirrored (I quoted it for reference). Enough of this mad-libbed shit, already. I hope you get paid, because I can't see any other worth in your comments.
What's surprising is that Republicans willfully support blatant treason and hacking groups because they truly consider them less adversarial to their perverse nazi authoritarian ideology than the rest of America. Rope is coming, traitors.
Trump will hang for his crimes. You decide if you should hang next to that coward. This is apolitical, you support attacks on the US political process or either party, you are a traitor and should hang. Period.
Far too many are prepared to up play, down play, blame the victim for short term political advantage.
When will people wise up and recognise that Putin is one of world's biggest threats to the freedom we enjoy in the west?
Totally false. Budget bills have to start in the House. The House has yet to pass a single bill reopening the government.
This is blatant bullshit. The new House has in in fact passed a couple of different budget bills, the Reps even have a choice. The first is a copy of the bill that was already passed but Trump refused to sign. There are also bills that fund and open individual departments.
Apart from that, the House has passed a number very reasonable bills to reform the election process and other important maintenance, and started a number of long overdue inquiries into government atrocities, corruption, and overreach, so any claim that the House and Pelosi are not doing their jobs is just propaganda bullshit.

The "several different bills" should be your hint that it's all show. The Democrats are making a show of doing things in the House, but they have yet to pass a single bill that would actually reopen the government, and have so far refused to even talk with the President about it.
Trying to bamboozle people by passing random bills that fund random parts of the government (but wouldn't really end the shutdown) is not at all the same thing as doing their damned job and writing a proper budget that would reopen the government and fund the wall the American people overwhelmingly support.
But good job falling for the Democrats' little show.
Fucking Trumpanzees are worse than the Orange Turd. Even more stupid and traitorous. Make America Great Again by moving to Russia.
Those spending bills will reopen government and passed Congress.
numbnuts
Everything you said is a lie. I don't get it. Do you sleep good at night? How can you look facts straight in the eye and lie. I just don't get it.
And yet he still can't get his baby monument off the ground.
Fucking sad, when even your own party looks at you like a fucking monkey.
You are creating these own enemies in your head. They do not exist faggot.
I'm a leftist and I don't care if you call me a faggot. I'll call you a faggot right back.
His "blue wave" comment was in reference to the 2016 presidential elections, not the 2018 midterms.
The Democrats lost in 2016, get over it. Both parties will win and lose again in the future. This is how it works.
And fuck the corrupt idiots that keep voting for them!
They are more corrupt than Godamn Sachs!
This is why we have "President Trump"!
