Microsoft Says Discovers Hacking Targeting Democratic Institutions in Europe (reuters.com)
Microsoft said today it had discovered hacking targeting democratic institutions, think tanks and non-profit organizations in Europe and plans to offer a cyber security service to several countries to close security gaps. From a report: The hacks occurred between September and December 2018, targeting employees of the German Council on Foreign Relations and European offices of The Aspen Institute and The German Marshall Fund, the company said. Microsoft said it found out about the hacks through the company's Threat Intelligence Center and Digital Crimes Unit, and the hacks targeted 104 employee accounts in Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Romania, and Serbia. Hackers in most cases create malicious weblinks and spoofed email addresses that look legitimate, aiming to gain access to employee credentials and deliver malware, the company said.
Amirite?
Aside from the guy who lead the Brexit referendum and misinformation campaign there are no Russia agents acting as the head of European governments.
Contrast that with Donald Trump who is a known Russian agent, but continues to have the support of his uneducated racist voters.
this is why i never trusted the Discovers credit card, not that AMEX is much better but at least they are not Hacking...
Slashdot says discovers English. Says much English with headlines soon. Maybe says grammar next!
democratic institutions, think tanks and non-profit organizations
Trade relations may turn to worse for these but what else would be a goal? Disrupting elections is just a waste of time as it just makes it more difficult to predict the policies of the ones who will sit on the other side of the table.
Steve Martin was right when he said: "Some people have a way with words. Other people...not have way."
Who the fuck is writing these headlines? Sloth feom the Goonies?
I'm not sure who Discovers is, but at least communist, socialist, and even monarchist institutions aren't being impacted.

The Aspen Institute planted Al-Qaeda operatives in executive positions in businesses, academia, activist groups, and law enforcement agencies throughout America in exchange for investments from the Golden Chain network that were bundled by Qatar and laundered through the George Soros "Open Society" network, the Rothschilds' Avaaz network, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, who all had assets in national security agencies who could order the firing of anyone who opposed this. That's what Gamergate, Comicsgate, Metalgate, and Sad Puppies were about. It was called the Inclusive America project and it was led by Madeline Albright, Michael Chertoff, John DeGioia, and the Anti-Defamation League, and there is zero chance that Clinton and Obama were not aware of this. Microsoft was one of the participating companies.
The German Marshall Fund is the group pressuring Europe to accept an immigration and welfare plan that was literally written by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as Al Qaeda's plan to conquer Europe.
The hackers were probably the NSA. They should quit dicking around with phishing attempts and send in ground forces.

I assume you've never had a problem with any of the above. But don't let me get in the way of your rant about bullshit while I list a ton of ACTUAL CRIMES committed by the DNC that have never been punished or even had one member of the MSM call them out on.
Its actually gotten ridiculous to even listen to people who support killing live babies try and give me lectures on morality. You are a piece of shit that has no right to lecture ANYONE on ANYTHING ever.
There is nothing democratic about them. Two of them are literally Americans trying to steer European politics. All of them have been founded to exert more than their fair share of political influence.
Democratic Party in the US.
In fact the "attacked" sites don't even seem to be EU democrats.
I wonder if the people being attacked because they have something in common, like using Microsoft tools to provice web access. /s
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.
Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud.

1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."

9. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."

Phishing right?
Not hacking. Maybe if it was Targeted Phishing, but the article doesn't mention that. It just says they create malicious weblinks, and spoofed email addresses to get employee credentials and install malware. They don't say where the weblinks were, but I'm guessing people got emails with embedded links that users followed.
Sorry, but I get at least 4 of these e-mails a day which get caught by the spam filter. I would recommend they get a better spam filter. I would also recommend a round of user training, ie never follow a link in an email, even if it looks legit.

Something like the NSA can do this:
- Send phishing emails
- Get them detected by Microsoft
- Microsoft offers cyber protection
- Route all traffic and filesthrough Microsoft so you can capture it all
- $$$$ Profit!
I'm willing to guess there was a particular state actor directing the hacking. I would have been more surprised if the article was about Russia and/or China finding ways to support western democracies rather than undermining them.
I had problems signing into slashdot the last couple of days. I kept getting stuck in a loop, punctuated only by some GDPR form, but whenever I hit enter, I'd get sent right back to the login screen. No matter what scripts I allowed, cookies cleared, or settings I adjusted, I couldn't sign in. Was it the GDPR form? Was it the website? My browser? I kinda resigned myself to not using slashdot any more (despite it being one of the first sites I used when I got onto the internet many years ago) after it all got me thinking about how little use I get from the site these days. Dropping by is more habit than anything. It was a little sad, but, y'know ... whatever; all things must pass and all that.
But it's content like "Microsoft Says Discovers Hacking Targeting Democratic Institutions in Europe" and the taxing intellectual puzzle it presents, firing all my neurons in a despetrate attempt at pattern-matching, as I try to figure out what the author is actually trying to say, that made me remember why I just can't quit you, Slashdot!
I'M BACK BABY!

It's hackers this, hackers that, hackers the other, hackers some more, hackers in your underwear, hackers in your fridge, hackers in your everywhere, hackers hackers hackers hackers. Did we mention hackers yet? Because there's hackers. Hackers!
Just so you know there's hackers involved. You know those hackers? They're like hackers, only more like hackers. Hackers!
I didn't need to check to know that this is an msmash special. It's always hackers, to the point theyr'e getting off on it.
And the entire thing is guaranteed to be content-free, of course. Nice counterpoint to more proof that that very same company is not to be trusted because this time it kept a secret whitelist in their browser, though.

Maybe that's the same company that provides Microsoft support that is closing down and needs me to call them back to get a refund on my service contract?
So Microsoft will help to secure ? Ah ah ah.
I would prefer to ban all proprietary software from any public organization... Or continue to pay Microsoft consultancy to fix Microsoft bugs.
