You seem to have a prejudice that you are not willing to challenge.

>This discovery strengthens our ongoing assessment that Guccifer 2.0 is a Russian propaganda effort and not an independent actor.
- josho 10y agoYes, I confess that I am prejudiced and believe that black hat hackers per capita is greater in Russia than US. I believe that because of their looser laws around hacking than the US. Though, if you have evidence otherwise I'm open to it. Either way, I don't really care, no country has a monopoly on hackers. > a Russian propaganda effort and not an independent actor Let's unpack that statement. Yes, this was clearly propaganda, hack originated in Russia, so sure Russian propaganda. Not an independent actor, ok, so a hacking group then, or a hacker plus wikileaks? I'm not seeing where they connected the dots to the Russian government. Look, the US created Stuxnet and destroyed industrial equipment. Meanwhile internal emails are published using phishing attacks and we suddenly call this meddling and are incensed that someone would dare do this to us?
