Konstantin Kozlovsky, a Russian citizen working for a hacker group called Lurk, confessed to hacking Clinton’s emails during a hearing about his arrest in August. An audio recording and minutes from the hearing were posted on Kozlovsky’s Facebook page, and their authenticity was reportedly confirmed by The Bell.

He allegedly worked with someone from FSB:

Kozlovsky identified his FSB handler as Dmitry Dokuchaev, a cybersecurity expert who worked as a hacker before joining the FSB.
Dokuchaev, who used the moniker “Forb,” has been linked to a group of hackers called Shaltai Boltai, or Humpty Dumpty,

Perhaps the DNC was hacked by both? It was a pretty large target and multiple state actors gave it a try.
- retsibsi 9y agoThe book Russian Roulette says that data was stolen from the DNC by two groups of Russian hackers, who seemed to be acting separately. It says that one group was linked to Russian military intelligence (presumably the GRU) and the other was suspected of being linked to Russian intelligence, 'most likely the SVR'.
- rdtsc 9y agoThanks for the book suggestion.
- djur 9y agoThat headline is terrible. The DNC emails were not "Clinton's". The emails we have from Hillary Clinton were not hacked, they were released by Congress or in response to FOIA requests. There were two separate hacks of the DNC (leaked in July 2016) and John Podesta's email (leaked in October 2016), but those are unrelated.
