The php malware is the least interesting piece of all the alleged activity. Being a version behind isnt significant. Its a simple common hacker tool. My postgresql is a few versions behind. So what ? If RIS had used obvious elite tools with impressive functionality then it would point straight to them. Its much smarter to look amateur.
The JAR should have declassified something juicy. They put out this weak report, revealed nothing and now critics will attack and win. Maybe its the US that are a bunch of amateurs.
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoThe USA puts "hackers" in jail, and the ones they hire might not even get a job if they admit to smoking weed in college. This is a country where you can get prison time for using someone's open wireless network. There's hostility towards hackers here from ignorant judges and lawmakers who come down hard on things they don't understand. They win by pressuring US companies with incentives/contracts (Juniper) or jail time (Qwest) to weaken or backdoor their products for US and foreign buyers. Their own citizens are kept in the dark with secret court orders with dubious constitutionality. "Amateur" is being generous.
